I always use #durable-objects for everything it basically KV but with durable storage and better listing options. DOs can be harder to use if you dont know how to model and partition out NoSQL databases but I've spent many many years working exclusively on modelling NoSQL so its my go to

do you think that DO would price out cheaper or how much more expensive than kv or d1. One of the other things i like about the D1 is access to seeing the data in cloudflare dashboard and the rolling backups. Do you know if the backups count against storage quota? Thanks for your expertise!

UnsmartOP•9/22/23, 7:26 PM

DOs are cheaper than KV normally assuming you dont need the large values of KV. D1 might be cheaper depends on the queries you setup but not sure I dont use SQL dbs to know how it might work out pricing wise

if you don't mind sharing, what's an example of why you went with the DO vs KV or D1 (besides GA)

UnsmartOP•9/22/23, 7:34 PM

KV is eventually consistent and doesnt have a good API. D1 is SQL

UUnsmart KV is eventually consistent and doesnt have a good API. D1 is SQL

captain•9/22/23, 7:36 PM

the KV is what is making me look elsewhere but whats the downside to you of SQL, seems like SQL is a nice perk rather having to invent things, or am i mistaken

UnsmartOP•9/22/23, 7:36 PM

I dont personally like SQL I dont think its good compared to NoSQL databases

sakuta•9/22/23, 7:38 PM

what serverless database (preferably nosql) would you personally recommend for pages/workers?

UnsmartOP•9/22/23, 7:38 PM

DOs

sakuta•9/22/23, 7:40 PM

hm any third party/other solution you'd recommend?

sakuta•9/22/23, 7:41 PM

saw that mongodb atlas serverless' pricing isn't really the most "clear" according to some discussion on their forum

sakuta•9/22/23, 7:41 PM

what's left other than google firestore?

sakuta•9/22/23, 7:41 PM

are there any better alternatives to it (price wise)?

UnsmartOP•9/22/23, 7:42 PM

theres probably a million other options but I dont know why you wouldnt use DOs on workers

sakuta•9/22/23, 7:42 PM

i primarly use pages atm

sakuta•9/22/23, 7:42 PM

specifically nextjs ssr

UnsmartOP•9/22/23, 7:42 PM

pages is workers still so

sakuta•9/22/23, 7:42 PM

you'd access them via

process.env

process.env

, right?

ok xd

is it possible to bypass zero trust via ip address

captain•9/22/23, 7:54 PM

i've used KV extensively and can see the advantage of the DO vs KV eventual write situation. That said, the sorting i am experciening for listing things out via prefix is a problem, how do you get around that in your DO nosql set up?

UnsmartOP•9/22/23, 7:55 PM

depends how you want to sort things but you can do secondary indexes pretty easily given transactional storage and you can reverse sort in DOs so that helps

Karew•9/22/23, 11:49 PM

You should have clients make their own Cloudflare account and then add you as an administrator to their account's team. Does "client" here mean a generic customer, or more like you were hired as an agency?

Karew•9/23/23, 12:10 AM

So for the architecture here, you host Plesk, but clients also assign their entire domain name nameservers to your Cloudflare account?

Karew•9/23/23, 12:18 AM

That doesn't really seem like the correct way to go about this.

You should be using Cloudflare for SaaS https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-for-platforms/cloudflare-for-saas/
Or you should be setting up hostnames that you protect that your customers point CNAME records to instead of taking control of a client's entire domain. This is an example of that https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/custom-domains

Right now your setup is more like how web design agencies or IT management shops operate, you're taking control of an entire domain. What if the client wants to use the domain for email or multiple services? They have to ask you to change all of the records for them, but you're only really interested in Plesk.

Isaac McFadyen•9/23/23, 12:59 AM

Is there a reason you need to create a whole new zone for them? Cloudflare for SaaS would still prevent them from unproxying any records which you don't want them unproxying if that's the concern.

Hi,

I need some guidance on how to configure this DNS on Cloudflare in the scenario listed below.
I have a domain registered at Godaddy and my new hosting account at SiteDotPro. I want Cloudflare to be in between Godaddy and SiteDotPro.

Since they do not provide an IP address, how do I set this config up on Cloudflare? I know how to set these A and CName records if an IP is present.
How do I set this up with the dns setup information provided by SiteDotPro?

Thanks.

Hello, I’m Allie!•9/23/23, 8:09 AM

Does this work?

Go to My Websites page;
Expand "Edit website" dropdown list;
Copy real IP address of your Site.pro website;
Go to domain control panel of your domain registrar to update "A" records of your domain;
Replace <placeholder> to a real IP address of your Site.pro website:
@ A <IP of website>
www A <IP of website>
