IIRC metadata for Workers is stored in Quicksilver, just like <1 MB Workers, so it should be fast no matter how many bindings you add

One of the biggest impediments to double-digit-gigabyte databases is performance

This line in the blog really got me thinking. I've always been using D1 with the assumption that one day this could be the primary database for the various products I'm building on Cloudflare. Reading the latest blog I somehow got the feeling that the aim is to scale D1 horizontally (aka number of databases as opposed to size of each individual database).

(Question for Matt probably) How do you envision D1 as a product? Are you aiming to build it to a point where it can be the primary database for an org? Or is D1 positioned to be on the smaller side (say up to 50GB) and powering smaller microservices in a larger architecture?

Adi•9/29/23, 1:23 AM

I suppose one way to build a primary database on D1 (assuming it scales on number of DBs as opposed to size) is some kind of sharding logic that splits the data between multiple instances. But my guess is that this kind of logic would have to come from Cloudflare, since it would be non-trivial for us to build it ourselves.

Steps:

Install Hono-do and add the bindings
Copy paste the example
For some reason it worked
I renamed the example class and added my code to it
I removed Hono-do again

I do not what is different than before now since it looks 1:1 the same, maybe that helps someone

Matt SilverlockOP•9/29/23, 8:56 AM

Double digits makes sense. 100GB per database is just a very different thing. But that’s also the point: orgs are used to large, monolithic databases, which makes changes and management risky. Many of us know what it’s like to have a database related incident caused by another team’s work or load.

A dominant reason everyone has big 100GB+ databases is because the cost of managing multiple database instances - the cost in operations AND dollars - is very high. You still pay by the hour. They take time to spin up. Managing backups is harder.

We think it’s going to be better for a lot of folks building new infrastructure to have 10+ 10GB D1 databases vs 1x 100GB database. And if you have legacy infrastructure, use Hyperdrive.

How to increment a counter value stored as column in a row by 1 atomically?

Laurent Pellegrino•9/29/23, 4:48 PM

Interesting. Thanks a lot.

Laurent Pellegrino•9/29/23, 4:55 PM

Loving how D1 looks so far. I have a unique use case and need some guidance. I'm working with a database that contains roughly 50M entries. Interestingly, this database is updated only once every day, and after that, we only perform read operations. I'm curious – is there a method to either import an SQL backup or establish the database locally and then migrate it to D1, without incurring charges for the 50M writes daily? Appreciate any insights on this!

Laurent Pellegrino•9/29/23, 8:50 PM

Do you plan to keep the manual backup commands with wrangler on GA?

Laurent Pellegrino•9/29/23, 8:51 PM

Does a backup restore (not using time traval) incurs a charge (i.e. does it rows as writes)?

Max (@rozenmd)•9/29/23, 9:13 PM

The backup commands are from a time when it was necessary to do backups with D1. Time travel lets you rollback commit by commit, so it's not as useful.

Laurent Pellegrino•9/29/23, 9:14 PM

@rozenmd I am asking because of the use case I described just above.

Laurent Pellegrino•9/29/23, 9:16 PM

I'd be willing to shell out $0.1 per million writes for my situation, but $1 per million writes is certainly off-putting.

Old Man Maker•9/30/23, 2:02 AM

Hey, can someone help me understand the D1 insert SQL a little better please.

I have an object def that looks like this:

interface DetailsDataType{
    description:string,
    ref:string //Primary Key in Table
}

interface DetailsDataType{
    description:string,
    ref:string //Primary Key in Table
}

I'm getting an array of these objects that I want to insert into my D1.

I get how to inject a single string, but the object array is not happening for me.
I assume there is some shorthand way of doing this, don't want to put an ugly for loop in there.

This is the INSERT code, where the bind statement is incorrect because descData is an array:

descData: DetailsDataType[] = <ARRAY OF OBJECTS>;

const { results } = await c.env.DATABASE.prepare("INSERT INTO details (ref, description) VALUES (?, ?) RETURNING *")
        .bind(descData.description, descData.ref)
        .run()

const { results } = await c.env.DATABASE.prepare("INSERT INTO details (ref, description) VALUES (?, ?) RETURNING *")
        .bind(descData.description, descData.ref)
        .run()

Can this even be done this way?

Old Man Maker•9/30/23, 2:24 AM

I'm assuming I will need to use the Batching statement?

Old Man Maker•9/30/23, 2:42 AM

Ok - just got this to work with a looping batcher. Pretty sweet.

Can I make a suggestion please - if the use of hyphens '-' in names is causing so many issues, why not just blanket ban the use in any named object.

It just took me 10 mins to spot the issue with the table name, when it should have been rejected as a valid table name at the point of creation. Perhaps the wrangler tool does this, but the dashboard does not.

Thoughts?
