It's closer to V8 from Chromium than V8 from nodejs.

By the way, can people learn nodejs then write Workers?

I would recommend doing the other way around so you don't pick up bad habits

fernvenueOP•12/8/23, 1:07 AM

Great, thanks.

@dave | ai.moda Will you recommend people to learn Node.js if they gonna build huge Workers project? Or MDN and Workers docs enough?

MDN and Workers docs are enough

Constantin•12/8/23, 1:13 AM

huys, i'm a bit confused about how to setup the CF Actions for workers. In the docs it just says .yml file .. i added in the project root. noting happens in github interface.

Ddave MDN and Workers docs are enough

this is how it looks

CConstantin if i move it inside .git/workflows/deploy.yml .. nothing happens

Cyb3r-Jak3•12/8/23, 1:15 AM

Should be

.github/workflows/deploy.yml

.github/workflows/deploy.yml

.github/workflows/deploy.yml

.github/workflows/deploy.yml

Constantin•12/8/23, 1:20 AM

great! thank you

C

Constantin•12/8/23, 1:21 AM

and for branching, is fine to deploy a new worker for each branch, right?

C

Constantin•12/8/23, 1:22 AM

i thoth that workers share the same model of branching like pages, but they are standalone entities, is that correct?

C

Cyb3r-Jak3•12/8/23, 1:39 AM

Yeah you could create a new worker for each branch. Just have to remember to delete them after merging so you don't run out of workers

C

Constantin•12/8/23, 1:54 AM

they don't get overwritted ?

C

Constantin•12/8/23, 1:54 AM

i mean, how can downtimes can be avoided

C

Cyb3r-Jak3•12/8/23, 1:56 AM

If the workers share the same name then yeah it will be overwritten

C

Constantin•12/8/23, 1:57 AM

great then!

C

Constantin•12/8/23, 1:57 AM

thank you @Cyb3r-Jok3

is there a way to block wrangler deploy command to be used locally?

Has anyone ever had the Worker Preview [in the online UI] not work? Troubleshooting this issue, but it’s very odd

What do you mean by "not work"

It’s just not showing the URL, for example if you type in Google.com, you would expect the site to load.

How do you enable Durable Objects? The link is useless.

E

Erisa•12/8/23, 8:57 AM

Go to a Worker in your dashboard, scroll down on the overview and there should be a Durable Objects section with an enable button

K

kian•12/8/23, 2:05 PM

The vast majority of that isn't in workerd

K

kian•12/8/23, 2:06 PM

You'd see the

.h

.h

.h

.h stuff and maybe some

workerd

workerd specific overrides, but most of it is defined in Cloudflare's internal repository.

There's weird things like requests can have 6 concurrent subrequests, but your isolate does have an overall limit (which you can hit with enough rps but not reading response bodies).

K

kian•12/8/23, 2:09 PM

It leads to weird scenarios where you're reading the response body even if to discard it instantly (i.e not assigning it to a variable).

K

kian•12/8/23, 2:11 PM

You can see the same sort of behaviour with Service Bindings

K

kian•12/8/23, 2:11 PM

If you make a call to a bound service but don't read the body, the bound Worker will show

Canceled

Canceled

Canceled

Canceled for that request in tail.

K

kian•12/8/23, 2:12 PM

Since they're effectively held open, in the event you do consume the body later, you can hit a limit for that isolate.

K

kian•12/8/23, 2:13 PM

As for resources on a bound Worker, yeah it's in the same isolate so memory is the primary concern as you get a refreshed CPU limit (i.e on Bundled you get another 50ms to spend in that bound Worker).

K

kian•12/8/23, 2:14 PM

Exceeding resources tends to make the isolate go

but I haven't tested it with a bound Worker.

Hello, I’m Allie!•12/8/23, 2:14 PM

Is there a method for black holing a Response Body?

K

kian•12/8/23, 2:15 PM

You'd want to store an ID in the global scope of the calling Worker as well as the ID of that Cloudflare server (call

https://cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/trace

https://cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/trace

and store the

fl

fl

fl

fl line), call a bound Worker that exceeds resource limits & hit the Worker until you see the same fl line. If your id is different, it's a new isolate.

K

kian•12/8/23, 2:15 PM

The

fl

fl

fl

fl part is because your Worker is a per-server thing, so you might hit two different servers in the same colo which are different isolates.

K

kian•12/8/23, 2:16 PM

That's the primary reason that trying to reason about memory consumption, or using global variables for state, is pretty difficult on Workers.

K

kian•12/8/23, 2:16 PM

Your connection might have a keep-alive to that server (i.e a browser) or you might hit a new server everytime (i.e hard refresh, spamming it w/ curl, etc)

K

kian•12/8/23, 2:17 PM

I've had isolates that sit idle on a given server for 22+ hours since their last request during off hours.

Guys, what is the Workers’ runtime? Is it nodejs?
