Yes, but you aren't guaranteed to actually spawn in said region. See https://where.durableobjects.live/region

In terms of raw query speed(for key value stuff), probably. But again, speed from Worker to response is all about where it spawns

Hello, I’m Allie!•2/10/24, 12:12 PM

As for the state, I would recommend using the Transactional Storage API, as In-Memory state is not guaranteed to persist between requests

Why does value appear as "undefined" in the kv? Also, when I try to get with metadata, it returns null for it.

Unable to access KV value from a TypeScript.

I have been spinning my wheels on this for a couple of days. I have a Worker (Auth) running Typescript and I reference a linked module.

import { GetGuid, CheckAuth } from '../../util/Util';

import { GetGuid, CheckAuth } from '../../util/Util';

When I call CheckAuth (and pass in the "env" variable, I can see the KV Namespaces, but when I attempt to get a value from the namespace, it just fails silently and moves on.

export async function CheckAuth(env, walletID){
    console.log(walletID)
    console.log(env.SESSION.get)
    try{
        const sid = await env.SESSION.get(walletID)
        console.log(sid)
    }
    catch(ex){
        console.log(ex)
    }
    console.log("SID")
}

export async function CheckAuth(env, walletID){
    console.log(walletID)
    console.log(env.SESSION.get)
    try{
        const sid = await env.SESSION.get(walletID)
        console.log(sid)
    }
    catch(ex){
        console.log(ex)
    }
    console.log("SID")
}

What am I doing wrong?

Hey, I was wondering we have a good amount of KV's with a lot of data inside of them on a specific account, would it be possible to move this to a different account with the data? By contact support, etc?
It would be a tedious process of making a scraper that fetches all the data and then makes it again on the new account

If you are an enterprise customer open a ticket (this doesn’t mean we can do it, this just isn’t the forum to do it). Otherwise we don’t move data across accounts as a policy as it is non-trivial and likely to break things downstream.

It doesn't do propagation, it's pull-based caching with a 60 second minimum.

Hi, does KV have ttl expiration on fields? Or key-value fields can stay there for-ever?

Santosh

Santosh•2/20/24, 10:25 PM

@Marshall No I didnt, I created smaller objects and stored them in KV. And it made the problem go away.

Santosh

S

Santosh•2/20/24, 10:28 PM

Now, I havent observed if tissue happens with second or subsequent update. And we definitely need another format, not Json alone, heres is my reason: With the overall envelope, it was about may be 8 to 10 levels deep. Once I broke it into smaller chunks, the Json depth is probably cut down by about 4. I just couldn't fathom(nor have the time) to see the depth is an issue, or the over all size is. And I wasn't anywhere close to KV limitation at all. I do have a DO that wakes up every 5 mins and refreshes it so the UI always has a certain dataset available, so it is quite possible that things are twisted making it even more difficult to find the root cause

Santosh•2/20/24, 10:32 PM

I concur that the input to KV when it is placed is perfectly fine. Reading back is the issue, but again if I cant read, the whole thing is useless
