At the moment there's a mTLS to TLS issue right? Kind of tired of using mongoDB data api. Any plans to fix the driver issue for workers?
MWe’re working with Mongo. Their driver is not simple to run in a (proper) serverless environment
MWhat’s your account ID & hyperdrive config ID?
CAccount ID:
Hyperdrive ID:
cfd355bcff7e6af6838743ae944184b0Hyperdrive ID:
0bbf89fd8f5544b4a313f26006174018
AI have a question about how hyperdrive works that I couldn't find an answer to in the blog or docs:
Let's say a customer is in Singapore, the CF worker is Singapore, and the database is in US-East1.
Is there any difference in the network path (and subsequent latency) for our Singapore CF worker using hyperdrive vs using something like the Neon serverless driver? Is it using CF peering connections or something else that would make the latency lower when using CF?

CAs far as I understand (I don't work for CF or anything), Hyperdrive will do the PG handshake at the edge right near your worker (with very low latency), and Neon serverless will do the PG handshake at the origin. The PG handshake is like 7 (this is a guess) round trips, so the connection establish time is significantly lower
Athanks Colin - yeah that makes sense. I am just wondering if there is also any material difference in the path that the bits take as they route around the globe.
Honestly no idea if it would even make a difference, but it would make sense to me if this route:
was faster than...

CAs far as I'm aware the packets do go over the public Internet right now, not CF fiber
CWanted to add onto this. We created two Hyperdrives, one with cache, one without. The one with cache consistently has this issue, the one without cache never does. Happy to share exact queries + dev DB to reproduce if someone from CF is interested in taking a look 
AIf you have a schema and queries that reproduce this that you're comfortable sharing, definitely please do!
ELooks like the internationalization for zh-TW is not yet complete for the Hyperdrive page. Apologies, and I will try to see if we can have a smoother experience for when this happens.
Mis it possible to get wire compression with hyperdrive to postgres?
Mmy data egress costs to hyperdrive are significant on amazon
MDoes PG have wire compression these days? It was historically disabled (at the SSL level) back in ~2016 due to vulns, and I haven’t seen any protocol level support for compressing result sets land?
Myeah after i sent that i found the same thing
Mit's a shame because my egress costs more than compute
Mit seems like i need to put the compute next to the db in aws and hit the compute endpoint instead of a db
MYou’re still going to incur egress (same fees/rates) either way - that’s the downside of AWS.
Myeah but i'm fetching a lot of data, computing some small piece of information from it in the worker, and then returning that small piece of information to the client
Mi cache as much as possible in worker memory
MI'm experiencing some really weird behaviour whereby one particular DB query sometimes comes back with rows and sometimes comes back with this:
This does not happen in another (non-CF) app connecting to the same DB and running the same query. Wrangler/Hyperdrive is the only difference. Does this ring any bells? Are there any query caching issues or behaviours I can tweak? Right now I'm refreshing an endpoint (with no code changes) and sometimes I get data back from the DB and sometimes I get the above.
Any thoughts?

MThe above is happening when testing locally, with
--remoteAha interesting - glad to know it's not just me, though sorry it's affecvting you too. How did you disable caching? Presumably this defeats the point of HD in general since it's essentially a DB cacher?
MIf I'm right that running a Worker app locally in dev mode bypasses HD entirely anyway (i.e. simply connects to the DB conventionally), then possibly (at least in my case) it's not a HD issue but a Workers one.
MHmm, info but no option to change settings. Perhaps this has to be done via Wrangler CLI
MAnd you're right re:
--remote
MHere's the commands to do that
MAnyway I've formally DB sometimes returns rows, sometimes returns nothing up this issue in #workers-help. Gonna disappear for dinner but will check back later/tomorrow in case there's any update on this problem. Hopefully a CF dev can shed some light/a fix.
CHey, just wanted to clarify on this (and Connor is one of my coworkers, thank you connor!!) - I've been talking with xortive in DMs + helping reproduce this. We're currently working around this w/ 2 Hyperdrives (one with caching, one without).
Also confirmed that using SQL queries w/o any parameters (IE doing string concatenation instead of using $1/$2/etc) doesn't trigger the issue; it's only with the parameterized queries

CObviously if string concatenation works for you or not is based on what kind of queries you have (SQL injection and all)
CAlso got linked this branch of Wrangler: https://github.com/xortive/workers-sdk/tree/malonso/caching-options which provides options to change caching settings . Not sure if includes enabling/disabling as i haven't looked yet, but we're running with two hyperdrives anyways (we have enough cacheable volume that we'd blow up our DB if we disabled it entirely), so I just made a new one with it disabled
MSeparate from the caching bug, the connection pooling part of Hyperdrive is a very substantial benefit — otherwise you pay connection setup overhead/latency back to your DB over and over.
MThanks, everyone! Appreciate the suggestions, @Colin and interesting that it's only parameterised queries. And great news about the fix, @Matt - look forward to getting confirmation that that's live 
MThis page in the HD docs says you can disable caching "using the wrangler CLI or the Cloudflare dashboard". It then gives this example:
However the
However the
--disable-cachinghyperdrive update
KYeah, the Wrangler docs tend to get outdated quickly
MIs that why I'm getting "Error - Unknown arguments: disable-caching, disableCaching" i.e. this option isn't live yet?
MYeah that command given by the docs is definitely not working, even with latest Wrangler. Command I'm using is
wrangler hyperdrive update my-hyperdrive-name --origin-password mypassword --disable-cachingit’s —caching-disabled (pass true/false)
Kdocs are wrong
MI took that to be a different option, which tells you whether caching is disabld but doesn't allow you to set it. Are you saying that I can set it via that option, and if so do I just follow it with true/false?
MAh I see your edit.
KKhonestly I'd recommend doing
wrangler <cmd> --helpthe docs fall out of sync
MAh OK cool. Wherever I found the
--caching-disabled--helpI've edited the docs and submitted a PR.
BIs there any timeline for this support? Or even any other workarounds. Their data API is definitely not super performant (random 20sec spikes) and it doesn't support some crucial basics...like transactions (!)
