A Cron trigger that's executed only once would work for my particular case too, but not sure how to implement it cleanly

zegevlier•11/13/23, 12:02 PM

Durable object alarms would be perfect for that. You can make a DO that stores the message and sets the alarm, then once the alarm runs it cleans up the storage and adds it to the queue

I just want to invoke many times a cloudflare worker which will send a subrequest after 5 minutes to different targets depending on the initial parameters. For now the delay rate is fixed but in the future it may be dynamic.

Currently, we are using SQS delayed queues, but maybe with Cloudflare we don't need the queuing functionality, being able to delay may be enough. In AWS, we need some EC2 instances to be polling the queue all the time. Also, if we moved the polling to Cloudflare, we would avoid the future public IPv4 tax.

Got it. A Durable Object alarm might be a better fit here, depending on what you're really trying to achieve (sounds like the delay is just one part of this).

Just to piggyback on this, I’m using DO alarms to manage a per-API-key rate limit (one DO per topic / API key). I’d want the queue to only deliver

items every

seconds within a given topic. DOs satisfy this use case for now though

huw•11/13/23, 10:11 PM

I thought about this, but I don’t think I have a good way of tracking when the last queue item was consumed or putting a lock on queue consumption without using a DO (maybe with D1, but that seems like a lot of overhead and still means a roundtrip to that DO’s colo), so I may as well just use a DO. If I flood my API with requests I get limited for 10 minutes; I’d rather drip-feed to it. But it’s been a while since I thought about this and I’m probably missing something

Matt Silverlock•11/16/23, 11:29 AM

You are already batching by putting the entire result set into the queue as one message vs a loop over each result. I would suggest just trying out what you have - I would not get stuck on optimizing this right now if it works.

bharatsuthar07•11/16/23, 11:39 AM

Okay got it @Matt thanks

Matt Silverlock•11/16/23, 3:56 PM

Some updates for @Queues users:

We're working on landing HTTP Pull, which will allow you to poll a queue and consume it from outside of a Worker (or use a Worker in a poll-based flow vs. push-based). This will likely land just before/just after the holidays.
Queue throughput: our major milestone is about 3-5k msg/sec per queue (message size plays a role here), up from the ~400 msg/sec/queue currently

We're also working on landing controls around setting message delays - e.g.

await env.MY_QUEUE.send(msg, { deliveryDelay: 600 })

await env.MY_QUEUE.send(msg, { deliveryDelay: 600 })

on the producer side, and retry delays on the consumer side - e.g.

messages.batch.retryAfter(300)

messages.batch.retryAfter(300)

.retryAfter(seconds: number)

.retryAfter(seconds: number)

on a per-message basis. API not final.

steyblind•11/16/23, 4:06 PM

Right now I've rigged data sync's to S3, which fires an object event to a Lambda, which pings a CF Worker to queue a processing job (which pulls from S3).

I'd MUCH RATHER use R2+Queues and avoid AWS altogether.

Is there an equivalent of an 'write event' I could use to populate a queue with messages as data is sync'd to R2 from [insert external platform here] (in this case, Airbyte, https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/destinations/r2).

Matt Silverlock•11/16/23, 5:14 PM

This is something on the R2 side, but we're also working on R2 Event Notifications - e.g. uploading to R2 via a Signed URL or the S3 API will publish an event to one of your Queues that you can consume.

Tumbzilla•11/16/23, 7:43 PM

set up a queue consumer that's not scaling as much as I'd expect. The queue currently has ~500k messages (max batch size 32), but the consumer is only firing every 5-10 minutes or so, and concurrency is topping out at 20, with long periods of 0 concurrency in between. All consumer invocations are succeeding.

How would I go about diagnosing the cause of this issue?

Emilio•11/18/23, 1:11 AM

First thing I’d look at is how long the consumer script is taking to finish consuming a batch. For that you go look at the Worker metrics for the relevant script.

Hey all! Is there a timeline for LogPush support in Queues?
It's quite hard to diagnose issues in Queues!

Paul Shriner•11/22/23, 4:38 PM

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to access Durable Objects from my consumer. I have been using itty-durable, but that has proven to be out of reach as I need the IRequest object. I would ideally like to use itty-durable, but at this point, just want it to work.

Unsmart•11/22/23, 4:42 PM

There is no request when using queue consumers... only a fetch has a request. You want to use the env which contains all of the bindings. The request also doesnt contain the bindings when in the fetch handler it is in the env parameter which is standard in all handlers.

Paul Shriner•11/22/23, 4:46 PM

Right, so when I try to do an env.DO.get("id"), it says that the id doesn't work. Hold on, let me get the exact error.

Unsmart•11/22/23, 4:47 PM

That is not a valid id... they look something like:

33ba9f42ca7b9084cf895328953209aae9da953df1a8d8f32f3832fe56

33ba9f42ca7b9084cf895328953209aae9da953df1a8d8f32f3832fe56

Unsmart•11/22/23, 4:47 PM

would also need to use

env.DO.idFromString()

env.DO.idFromString()

to transform to a DO id

Unsmart•11/22/23, 4:48 PM

or env.DO.idFromName

Paul Shriner•11/22/23, 4:48 PM

true

Paul Shriner•11/22/23, 4:48 PM

let userid = this.env.USER.idFromName(uid)
let user = this.env.USER.get(userid);

I'd imagine you probably dont want

this.

env.

. But whats the error if thats what you have?

Unsmart•11/22/23, 4:53 PM

Example:

export default {
    async queue(batch: MessageBatch<any>, env: Bindings, ctx: ExecutionContext) {
        const stub = env.TestDO.get(env.TestDO.idFromName('1'))
        
        const response = await stub.fetch('https://fake-host/', {})
    }
}

export default {
    async queue(batch: MessageBatch<any>, env: Bindings, ctx: ExecutionContext) {
        const stub = env.TestDO.get(env.TestDO.idFromName('1'))
        
        const response = await stub.fetch('https://fake-host/', {})
    }
}

Paul Shriner•11/22/23, 5:01 PM

When I call

let userid = this.env.USER.idFromName(uid)
let user = this.env.USER.get(userid);    
let brand = await user.GetBrand()

let userid = this.env.USER.idFromName(uid)
let user = this.env.USER.get(userid);    
let brand = await user.GetBrand()

it says that the method GetBrand cannot be found that I would like to call for data access.

when I call

let userid = this.env.USER.idFromString(uid)
let user = this.env.USER.get(userid); 
let brand = await user.GetBrand()

let userid = this.env.USER.idFromString(uid)
let user = this.env.USER.get(userid); 
let brand = await user.GetBrand()

This is the error code on the second:

Invalid Durable Object ID. Durable Object IDs must be 64 hex digits.

In both cases, the uid="GF5ZNCEJLV2X4UQ5FPMAPU6ZNRQ7OXOY3JPT6OOKUDRDEGKJX35TA2Y774"

Paul Shriner•11/22/23, 5:01 PM

Granted, in my non-consumer codes, I am using itty-durable and itty router, which it seems is not available here.

Unsmart•11/22/23, 5:11 PM

GetBrand is not a valid thing on durable objects you can only do fetch calls. An RPC like API is in the works though that would allow direct function calls.

Paul Shriner•11/22/23, 5:12 PM

Ahh, that makes sense. I can hit those methods with itty Durable, but not this way.

Paul Shriner•11/22/23, 5:16 PM

When I print out the user

console.log(JSON.stringify(user))

console.log(JSON.stringify(user))

It return an unpopulated object.

Paul Shriner•11/22/23, 5:19 PM

I will just pour through the itty-code and figure out what I can, I will post back what I figure out in case anyone else runs into this.

quambo•11/22/23, 10:35 PM

Doesnt work as it seems, from Docs:
Wrangler does not yet support running separate producer and consumer Workers bound to the same Queue locally. To develop locally with Queues, you can temporarily put your consumer’s queue() handler in the same Worker as your producer, so the same Worker acts as both a producer and consumer.

Paul Shriner•11/23/23, 5:16 AM

OK, got it. And the solution was itty-durable related, so...

If you are using the consumer of the queue, and are trying to pull a DO without using itty-router. This is how I solved it.

I used the proxyDurable class which isn't well documented as of writing this. The key though was not to just pass in the binding, but to also pass in the name of the binding in the options argument.

My binding was called "USER", so I would access it by env.USER which is the primary argument in proxyDurable.

let user = proxyDurable(this.env.USER, { name: "USER", parse: true })

let user = proxyDurable(this.env.USER, { name: "USER", parse: true })

then allows me to call the specific DO that I am looking for.

user.get(uid)

user.get(uid)

From within a worker, I'm invoking

cg•11/23/23, 7:26 PM

The pattern here is that the consumer is calling sendBatch to process the next "page" of data

export default { async queue(batch: MessageBatch<any>, env: Bindings, ctx: ExecutionContext) { const stub = env.TestDO.get(env.TestDO.idFromName('1')) const response = await stub.fetch('https://fake-host/', {}) } }
