There are other potential options as well, could leverage KV and local cache in a Worker, could be kind of pricey though.
Which plan are you on?
There's a feedback loop there where the more requests you get, the more places your assets will be in cache, the lower latency, etc, but can't force it. Cloudflare wants only frequent assets in cache, there's a finite amount of space

Currently using pro plan

Can increase to business if it is needed for that

Chaika•1/15/24, 6:10 PM

As I was saying above Cache is per colo/datacenter. Cloudflare has points of presence (PoPs), identified by airport codes like ORD (Chicago), EWR (New York). Some of those PoPs are multi-colo (MCPs), and each with their own cache. There's some 200-300 PoPs or something and around 550 colos. If there was a global cache pull api that would be a ton of requests and 550 copies of each asset lol, that's why there are tools like tiered caching and such. Generally speaking though your visitors are not going to be that evenly spread, just going to be a few popular points most likely

I just saw your description, ClickHouse and Cloudflare workers, what are you doing with ClickHouse if I may ask :)?

Chaika•1/15/24, 6:13 PM

You can use the CDN-Cache-Control response header to control Cloudflare's cache ttl and such, and then Cache-Control would just be for the browser:
https://developers.cloudflare.com/cache/concepts/cdn-cache-control/
ex, cache main page and all other pages for 24 hours, purge via API whenever needed. Cloudflare has an extension for Wordpress (APO) which does exactly that, not a bad pattern

Analytics and lots of data

Could move to off-topic to talk about that
Cloudflare also uses Clickhouse for all of its analytics, traffic graphs, Cloudflare Radar and such, it's really powerful

Is there an HTTP API that lets me clear the cache for a specific route?

My content for this endpoint changes randomly - sometimes once a week, sometimes multiple times per day.
I want to clear the cache for that page after my site re-deploys

Chaika•1/15/24, 7:47 PM

https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/operations/zone-purge#purge-cached-content-by-url is the purge cache api.
Non-Enterprise can only do by exact url

Cloudflare API Documentation

Interact with Cloudflare's products and services via the Cloudflare API

Chaika•1/15/24, 7:48 PM

otherwise you could just purge everything in that zone/website

Phatso•1/15/24, 7:48 PM

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you

Chaika•1/15/24, 7:48 PM

no, not in the ruleset engine

Chaika•1/15/24, 7:49 PM

like, redirect http -> http, https -> https?

Chaika•1/15/24, 7:50 PM

if you have Always use HTTPS it would redirect everyone first/you could just assume everything -> https.
If you needed to keep it, you could just have two rules, one matching ssl and another without

Chaika•1/15/24, 7:52 PM

yea I don't think there's any easier way for that, if it was relative (i.e /contact-us/ to /contacts/), you could just have it be static and relative, but if it's to a different domain I think you're forced to put scheme.

depending on what you want to do, Cloudflare Email Workers might be a better solution than area 1.

I don't see how you're supposed to provide a full URL.
The endpoint takes tagstags, hostshosts, and prefixesprefixes - where do I put my full URL?

The API Docs aim to confuse, you can click on the little drop down next to the body, the last one is for urls

Chaika•1/15/24, 9:27 PM

if in doubt you can see what the dashboard does as well, it does the same api call/endpoint

Phatso•1/15/24, 9:27 PM

Got it! Thanks

PPhatso Got it! Thanks

Chaika•1/15/24, 9:28 PM

example request body:

  ]
}

Weird.. when I use this, it give me an auth error

Phatso•1/15/24, 10:00 PM

but it works fine with my global api key

Phatso•1/15/24, 10:03 PM

I use X-Auth-EmailX-Auth-Email & X-Auth-KeyX-Auth-Key for this, right?

Chaika•1/15/24, 10:03 PM

For API Tokens, it's

Authorization

Authorization

header and value of Bearer {token}Bearer {token}

I see, okay, thanks! I'll look through it first
