Matt SilverlockOP•9/30/23, 4:17 PM

No, that is something we don’t yet support. Working on it. If you can bind any resource in your account it would break the security model (how do you bind only the right things?) - so the work is focused on APIs to help group/tag resources vs “any”

Jason Hostetter•9/30/23, 4:37 PM

Great to hear, looking forward to it. Was worried that functionality would be locked behind enterprise, which would effectively kill my project (at least with D1)

Can I add data to a d1 database from workers and a python script?

Samantas5855•9/30/23, 10:04 PM

also does delete count as a write or is it free?

SSamantas5855 Can I add data to a d1 database from workers and a python script?

Cyb3r-Jak3•9/30/23, 10:19 PM

You'd would have the use the API to add the content from a python script

Cyb3r-Jak3•9/30/23, 10:22 PM

And I'd imagine that deleting rows counts as a write but not about if you delete a D1 database entirely

With the release of hyperdrive, does it mean that today I could have a "read replica" of my data at all Cloudflare point of presence at my country, while with D1 I'll have to wait for the release of the read replicas? (being my country is Brazil, i don't even see a hint of D1 for south america)

Matt SilverlockOP•10/1/23, 5:43 PM

Hyperdrive doesn’t create replicas: it caches reads. Big difference.

I tried to imply that with the quotes, sorry for the miscommunication, and thanks for your answer. I’m looking for a pure performance standpoint. Looking to rewrite some parts of a product that I have for the maximum read performance. Right now all located on AWS SA and cloudflare on front caching the html static. Users all over Brazil, would love to have the data distributed for when the cache bursts. But I was actually reading hyperdrive doc further and the cache looks short for my use case as I don’t have that much reads because all is cached statically.

Matt SilverlockOP•10/1/23, 6:01 PM

Got it. Hyperdrive is still going to be a very effective intermediate cache - on top of the connection pooling & perf. Without it, cache misses will likely hurt a lot in terms of latency.

Thanks. That’s great to know. Rewriting the stack from .net 4 to workers after the TCP connection announcement. Most of it is ready, was going with a hosted AWS Postgres for development but looking for the feasibility at the hyperdrive/D1 after this week’s announcement. Will hyperdrive work with D1 or will D1 have that builtin with replicas at all the pop’s?

Separate things. Hyperdrive for databases not on Cloudflare. D1 as D1. Search this channel for my posts on “read replication” for D1

Laurent Pellegrino•10/2/23, 12:54 PM

Thanks for your message.

Yep, it's somewhat like a read-only replica. But the challenge is that about 90% of the data is refreshed daily, so diff computing or event-based reactions won't be of much help. I think @rozenmd's generic response might be due to Cloudflare not wanting backups to be abused. If I'm not mistaken, backup imports don't count as writes. So, in theory, someone could set up a local database, fill it up, back it up, and then import to Cloudflare D1 at no cost. Those backups weren't just for disaster recovery; they fit my scenario perfectly. But with only Timetravel remaining, the $1/M write cost is steep for those of us needing to import large databases daily or even weekly only.

Max (@rozenmd)•10/2/23, 12:59 PM

backup imports don't count as writes

D1's beta backend doesn't have backup imports - you can write to the DB, and you're billed as a write.

Metrics do not appear for D1's older alpha dbs because the metrics feature was built only for the beta backend.

FYI: you will be able to create up to 50,000 D1 databases per account as of this week (and if you genuinely get close, we can increase further: this is a soft limit).

Steved•10/2/23, 1:55 PM

Great to hear. Will there be a way for a pages app, for example, to access the multiple databases without adding new bindings, and having to redeploy? Classic case of multi-tenancy. In other systems, you'd just load the DB connection string for the tenant then access the DB.

Altrius•10/2/23, 3:29 PM

heck, thats a lot of databases haha, if anyone manages to actually reach that ill be impressed (unless they do one db per user? which could make sense for some use cases I guess haha)

Epailes•10/2/23, 5:45 PM

"By default, D1 will automatically create your database in a location close to where you issued the request to create a database"
I hadn't even considered that instances will be close to users by default because of this, D1 will honestly be game changing for multi-tenant applications!

Epailes•10/2/23, 5:46 PM

I'm thinking ahead to performing analytics on all the instances, right now I have a postgres instance setup using RLS to separate data between tenants. Currently it's relatively trivial for me to see how users interact with the application just by writing a sql query and exporting the report.

Would the best tool to get a similar experience be using analytics-engine? Although I don't always know the data I'm after ahead of time (and pricing hasn't been announced for this yet).

Would it be feasible to create a report generating worker which loops through each of the D1 instances running a similar query and spits it out into a report. Or is there a better way?

Matt SilverlockOP•10/2/23, 5:49 PM

What kind of data are you after? I would use Analytics Engine for "product events" (like what I think you are describing) and D1's own GraphQL API for "show me top-level usage by database: rows read, written, errors, etc"

kian•10/2/23, 6:47 PM

Yeah this is more around product events, eg what is the most popular type of product category, what theme is the most used, how many products are hosted by the platform in total across all tenants?

THAT'S GREAT. is that going to be available for durable object only or we'll be able to use them in worker with dynamic binding?

Unsmart•10/2/23, 7:06 PM

Thats not dynamic bindings yet afaik you would have to pre bind each database or use the API to update the worker binding to add the new one. Probably best and easiest used with WfP

Unsmart•10/2/23, 7:07 PM

And not really sure how durable object come into play in your question

UUnsmart And not really sure how durable object come into play in your question

Max (@rozenmd)•10/3/23, 5:02 AM

like how DOs don't have to bind to individual objects

You can programmatically create databases - the D1 API isn’t limited to enterprise accounts at all.
