can I use dotenv on it as well?

Electric•2/27/24, 6:08 PM

or does that not work

Unsmart•2/27/24, 6:08 PM

You would just use a .dev.vars file instead

Unsmart•2/27/24, 6:09 PM

and theres no

process.env

process.env

you get it from the env passed into the request

If your use of express is for routes, in workers you can work with itty-router where you can create routes, middleware, etc. Workers, for security reasons, limit many things that exist in large libraries, so there will be cases that you will have to get around by looking for others.

If I use

would this work? How do I also specify that we are doing a custom domain on the command line during

Old Man Maker•2/28/24, 7:17 AM

Hey - not sure if I am missing something, but it is entirely unhelpful to have a sub domain applied to an R2 bucket, yet that sub domain does not appear in the DNS records. Am I missing something here?

AnotherAlex•2/28/24, 11:48 AM

Hello. I’ve been seeing high WorkerCPUTime’s in logs (about 1 second) and was wondering what additional profiling we could do to understand why this is occurring. Our logs show that the fetch function run by the worker is reporting significantly lower run time. We also know the high time occurs at the first request to a new instance. Any suggestions?

kian•2/28/24, 12:09 PM

If it’s always the first request then it sounds like something in the global scope of the Worker

vakno•2/28/24, 12:12 PM

Is it possible to run more than one worker with a worker? I have a parent worker that has service bindings with two child worker that change HTML responses. I want changes that these 2 workers make all applied to the parent worker ( that has a trigger url ). I cant seem to figure out how to combine responses.

AnotherAlex•2/28/24, 3:16 PM

Thanks. That’s what I originally thought but I can’t find anything in the code that should do that. Anything that needs setting up on first request is done inside fetch, as it requires env vars. Is the Date.now() time at the start of fetch function accurate? I know it only updates on I/O operations but not sure if “fetch has just been called” is one.

kian•2/28/24, 3:20 PM

It'll be pretty accurate, yeah.

Rasel Rana Rocky•2/28/24, 3:36 PM

Hi, I hope it's not too dumb question.
I see that CF workers has a limit of maximum 6 outgoing requests simultaneously.
So, if somehow a single worker gets more than 6 simultaneous requests and I call auth service using

fetch()

fetch()

from the worker, then the requests above the limit will start failing?
I'm decoupling everything into multiple microservices and each request might make more than 1~15 requests to other services, both internal and external.

kian•2/28/24, 3:40 PM

It's 6 outgoing subrequests per incoming request.

kian•2/28/24, 3:41 PM

If you have 10 people hitting the same Worker, each one of those Worker invocations can make 6 outgoing subrequests concurrently.

Rasel Rana Rocky•2/28/24, 3:45 PM

Ah that makes more sense. Thanks

JoeDoe•2/28/24, 4:50 PM

JJoeDoe So all workers start with the fetch() function and thats it?

Chaika•2/28/24, 9:33 PM

The fetch function/handler is just one of (although the most common) Workers handlers, which is ran on every request to the Worker: https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/runtime-apis/handlers/fetch/

Cloudflare Docs

Fetch Handler · Cloudflare Workers docs

Incoming HTTP requests to a Worker are passed to the fetch() handler as a request object. To respond to the request with a response, return a Response …

Chaika•2/28/24, 9:34 PM

There are other handlers. Email handlers for Email Workers, Queue Handlers, Scheduled Handlers (Cron), Tail Workers and their handlers, Durable Object with Fetch & Alarm handlers

Chaika•2/28/24, 9:35 PM

global scope is always evaluated/ran first in startup technically, not the fetch handler. For example Workers have no cold starts by loading the Worker during the TLS Connect, which would run global scope and fetch would only run when/if the request gets there

JoeDoe•2/28/24, 9:36 PM

so for example, if I wanted a worker that will just do a API call each 5mins, would fetch be the one I use?

JoeDoe•2/28/24, 9:36 PM

for right now, just call a api each 5 mins, console out the data
