We are looking to move all of our serverless functions to Cloudflare workers, one of the things we are trying to understand is how to best structure our project. Originally we wanted to have a single Worker, but with our 20-30 functions they each need their own different CRON schedules, so it seems like we'll have to make every function its own worker. However, there is a lot of shared logic between all these functions that i'd hate to duplicate many times over and have to try and manage that. Is there any best practices on how to build a large set of workers that can share libs and also have CRON flexibility?

you could do a single worker and instead of using crons you could use durable object alarms

sathoro•9/18/23, 1:00 PM

sort of, but in your case you might want multiple DOs for each cron to simplify the scheduling. although I've also seen a library that would help with this (can't find it...)

sathoro•9/18/23, 1:05 PM

can make your own scheduler with a single DO (but multiple instances) like this using itty-durableitty-durable

import { createDurable } from "itty-durable";

export class Scheduler extends createDurable({ autoPersist: true }) {
  constructor(state, env) {
    super(state, env);
  }

  create(name, doEverySeconds = 30) {
    this.name = name;
    this.doEverySeconds = doEverySeconds;

    this.setAlarm(Date.now());
  }

  async alarm() {
    console.log(`Doing ${this.name}...`);

    this.setAlarm(Date.now() + this.doEverySeconds * 1000);

    // do the thing...
  }
}

import { createDurable } from "itty-durable";

export class Scheduler extends createDurable({ autoPersist: true }) {
  constructor(state, env) {
    super(state, env);
  }

  create(name, doEverySeconds = 30) {
    this.name = name;
    this.doEverySeconds = doEverySeconds;

    this.setAlarm(Date.now());
  }

  async alarm() {
    console.log(`Doing ${this.name}...`);

    this.setAlarm(Date.now() + this.doEverySeconds * 1000);

    // do the thing...
  }
}

sathoro•9/18/23, 1:05 PM

and the DO can import whatever code it needs to from your codebase directly

sathoro•9/18/23, 1:06 PM

(itty-durableitty-durable is not needed, it just makes the code way shorter)

Does .fetch.fetch on a Service Worker binding do anything with the cache-controlcache-control header?

TTraffy Does worker supports mongoose or mongodb driver?

No like I have DO persistent storage data in my deployed worker

MetalGear•9/19/23, 12:13 AM

I want to basically run npx wrangler dev and use the latest data that is in deployed worker.

MetalGear•9/19/23, 12:14 AM

I thought that happened automatically whenever I restart npx wrangler dev but for some reason its not right now.

MetalGear•9/19/23, 12:14 AM

I am using the latest version of wrangler btw

Cyb3r-Jak3•9/19/23, 12:18 AM

Have you tried using the

--remote

flag with wrangler dev? I am not sure how it works with DO but that is the standard way for interacting with remote bindings

Thanks @kian

one other quick question, I see on the community forums it is possible to route a Worker request to a specific colo. But I can't seem to find where this is documented

kian•9/19/23, 3:05 AM

It isn’t documented since it isn’t a feature that’s available

matt•9/19/23, 3:09 AM

ok thanks! for context, im trying to build something similar to durable objects I tried DO's but performance was not great from Australia, with each round trip to DO costing 200-400ms. My target roundtrip is 20-30ms

I read that each worker has a singleton in each colo with shared memory, having access to the routing would help me build something do-like. Is that a good enough use case to gain access to custom routing?

Unsmart•9/19/23, 3:30 AM

I’m not sure they even really offer that to enterprise customers beyond maybe jurisdictions but also using global scope is something suggested not to do

matt•9/19/23, 3:32 AM

It seems to be recommended here:
https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/platform/limits/#memory

Use global variables to persist data between requests on individual nodes

matt•9/19/23, 3:33 AM

There is also a thread about the ability to route to a specific worker DC colo: https://community.cloudflare.com/t/how-to-run-workers-on-specific-datacenter-colos/385851

Is it possible to make auto-deployments only trigger when a pull request is made on a github branch? As opposed to on every single commit?

Izrath•9/19/23, 3:40 AM

Im building out a discord bot which requires a response in 3 seconds. My function will take longer than that so I need to execute a separate worker separately to run my function and update discord when its done. Is it do-able to call another worker and then return/end my current worker?

kian•9/19/23, 3:42 AM

You return a deferred response and use waitUntil to patch that message

Hello, I’m Allie!•9/19/23, 10:28 AM

As far as I can tell with that specific demo, it will route you to a specific Colo(which may contain multiple datacenters). And even then, you still aren't guaranteed to hit the same physical machine(or isolate, depending on traffic levels), which would be required to be able to reuse the global scope.
