Hey Folks,
Can a user worker be a consumer of a queue? if so how can I configure it?
using this configures the user worker as a producer, but not a consumer.

{
  "type": "queue",
  "name": "<TEST_QUEUE>",
  "queue_name": "<TEST_QUEUE_NAME>"
}

{
  "type": "queue",
  "name": "<TEST_QUEUE>",
  "queue_name": "<TEST_QUEUE_NAME>"
}

{
  "type": "queue",
  "name": "<TEST_QUEUE>",
  "queue_name": "<TEST_QUEUE_NAME>"
}

{
  "type": "queue",
  "name": "<TEST_QUEUE>",
  "queue_name": "<TEST_QUEUE_NAME>"

It is not possible. Queue consumers are actually setup by wrangler during deploy. You can only use a regular worker. Maybe tanushree has some other options for you though

hi, with WFP is it possible to place a worker in a fixed location? outside of using smart placement.

R

rook•3/17/24, 6:26 PM

i know you can pick the location for vercel edge functions and iirc they are built on workers.

U

Unsmart•3/17/24, 6:27 PM

You cannot, vercel doesnt route to cloudflare first they route to their AWS servers so they will just route to the region they want on AWS then call cloudflare

R

rook•3/17/24, 6:44 PM

are there plans to enable this? workers would be so good if picking a location was possible. right now it's so slow to call a db or api, if you aren't close to them already. smart placement does not fix this.

Chaika•3/17/24, 6:48 PM

why doesn't smart placement fix that?
Probably should move to #workers-discussions
You can create a D1 db in a specific region and bind your worker to it, enable smart placement, and it'll always run close

Hi everyone, working on an app and would love to get access to WFP to be able to publish workers for different users of the app. Is it possible to request access here, I'm more than happy to provide feedback to product team.

Hey does anyone knows how to upload a script via API?

I'm trying:

const main = `
export default {
    fetch(request) {
        return new Response('Hello World');
    }
} 
`
const metadata = JSON.stringify({ main_module: "main.js" })
const formData = new FormData();
formData.append('main.js', new Blob([main], { type: 'application/javascript+module' }))
formData.append('metadata.json', new Blob([metadata], { type: 'application/json' }))
return await $fetch(`${baseUrl}/namespaces/timo/scripts/hello`, { method:"PUT", body:formData, headers })

const main = `
export default {
    fetch(request) {
        return new Response('Hello World');
    }
} 
`
const metadata = JSON.stringify({ main_module: "main.js" })
const formData = new FormData();
formData.append('main.js', new Blob([main], { type: 'application/javascript+module' }))
formData.append('metadata.json', new Blob([metadata], { type: 'application/json' }))
return await $fetch(`${baseUrl}/namespaces/timo/scripts/hello`, { method:"PUT", body:formData, headers })

const main = `
export default {
    fetch(request) {
        return new Response('Hello World');
    }
} 
`
const metadata = JSON.stringify({ main_module: "main.js" })
const formData = new FormData();
formData.append('main.js', new Blob([main], { type: 'application/javascript+module' }))
formData.append('metadata.json', new Blob([metadata], { type: 'application/json' }))
return await $fetch(`${baseUrl}/namespaces/timo/scripts/hello`, { method:"PUT", body:formData, headers })

const main = `
export default {
    fetch(request) {
        return new Response('Hello World');
    }
} 
`
const metadata = JSON.stringify({ main_module: "main.js" })
const formData = new FormData();
formData.append('main.js', new Blob([main], { type: 'application/javascript+module' }))
formData.append('metadata.json', new Blob([metadata], { type: 'application/json' }))
return await $fetch(`${baseUrl}/namespaces/timo/scripts/hello`, { method:"PUT", body:formData, headers })

And I keep getting:

"could not read content for part metadata"

C

Chaika•3/21/24, 2:58 PM

iirc

formData.append('metadata.json', new Blob([metadata], { type: 'application/json' }))

should be

formData.append('metadata', new Blob([metadata], { type: 'application/json' }))

C

cosbgn•3/21/24, 3:04 PM

Great, using file an metadata it now works:

const formData = new FormData();
formData.append('main', new File([main], 'main.js', { type: 'application/javascript+module' }));
    formData.append('metadata', new File([metadata], 'metadata.json', { type: 'application/json' }));

const formData = new FormData();
formData.append('main', new File([main], 'main.js', { type: 'application/javascript+module' }));
    formData.append('metadata', new File([metadata], 'metadata.json', { type: 'application/json' }));

const formData = new FormData();
formData.append('main', new File([main], 'main.js', { type: 'application/javascript+module' }));
    formData.append('metadata', new File([metadata], 'metadata.json', { type: 'application/json' }));

const formData = new FormData();
formData.append('main', new File([main], 'main.js', { type: 'application/javascript+module' }));
    formData.append('metadata', new File([metadata], 'metadata.json', { type: 'application/json' }));

Thanks a lot

API calls, and in fact for Workers for Platforms (different from regular Workers) that's the only way to bind things to user workers.

I

For regular Workers you can also do it via API.

I

Isaac McFadyen•4/3/24, 11:14 PM

Keep in mind in both cases it will result in a redeploy of your Worker so it might take a few seconds to propagate globally/your worker will be reset.

Hi friends, new to workers for platforms! What is the story on letting users manage secrets for their workers they upload? Like if my user wants to access their own database from their worker what is best practice for managing that? Thank you for the help!

B

Bryan•4/5/24, 4:48 PM

Very happy to see Workers for Platforms will be available to everyone!

I want to build a multi-tenant service with Workers for Platforms, but I don't know what I should do with the database.

I have two options: One D1 database for all customers and One D1 database for each customer.

For the first option, I think there will be challenges for data security and I think the size will grow over 10GB quickly (since what I want to do is heavy on data).

For the second option, there are two problems. First, each account can only have 5000 D1 databases, and I think I will go over this limit since I will offer a free tier service. I also found it's not easy to dynamically create D1 database and attach it to my worker script. Second, If one day I need to do a database migration, I will have to do the migration for all databases, and it'll definitely not be easy.

Do you have any suggestions for what I should do?

BBryan Very happy to see Workers for Platforms will be available to everyone! I want t...

U

Unsmart•4/5/24, 5:52 PM

Currently durable objects are the best tenant based db you can use. D1 is still working on exposing easier tenant based structure.

U

Unsmart•4/5/24, 5:54 PM

and fwiw the database limit on d1 can easily be raised (its also 50k not 5k)

How do you assign worker routes to a customer's domain, if they add their domain (we set it via Cloudflare for SaaS ) Can we then add Worker Routes to the custom domain they added

Rrob How do you assign worker routes to a customer's domain, if they add their domain...

U

Unsmart•4/5/24, 10:32 PM

If you want all customer domains to go to the same worker its pretty easy just gotta add these 3 worker routes (https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/:zone/workers):

<zone-name>/*

<zone-name>/*

Service:

None

None

*.<zone-name>/*

*.<zone-name>/*

Service:

None

None

*/*

*/*

Service:

<worker to route to>

<worker to route to>

Example:

U

Unsmart•4/5/24, 10:35 PM

If you only want to specify a specific customers domain then you would just enter their domain in the workers routes.

mycustomer.com/*

mycustomer.com/*

Service:

my-worker-for-customer

my-worker-for-customer

Note that you can only have like 3,000 worker routes defined iirc

K

kian•4/6/24, 11:22 PM

The same as Wrangler, you bundle it (i.e with esbuild) before uploading it

K

Kai•4/7/24, 1:30 PM

Hello, about the pricing for individual scripts, my assumption is the pricing covers storage of the worker code. is this correct?

K

Kai•4/7/24, 1:32 PM

if that is the case, has the idea of more fine grained pricing for the storage that the workers take been brought up? I'm imagining a pricing model of
x per 1GB instead of x per script.

U

Unsmart•4/7/24, 4:40 PM

A static cost per script is easier to calculate which is why it’s that way

~~is the cost per script pro-rated?~~

If i create a user script and delete it after a week does that incur the whole 0.02 charge?

W

Walshy•4/8/24, 3:05 PM

We would need to add a way of saying it's a Workers for Platforms script. Probably most likely is having secret put under wrangler dispatch-namespace so you'd do

wrangler dispatch-namespace secret put <secret-name>

wrangler dispatch-namespace secret put <secret-name>

(this is more inline with how pages is handling it)

rob•4/8/24, 3:18 PM

W

Walshy•4/8/24, 5:16 PM

Yeah in the UI we don't let you modify script bindings iirc

W

Walshy•4/8/24, 5:16 PM

You can use the API but yeah we should add to wrangler for sure

Aalgads Makes sense. So it sounds like I can't currently add secrets to the WfP script ...

B

Beny•4/10/24, 3:43 AM

You need to do it by API, but as Walshy said we should add an namespace option to wrangler similar to the deploy script
Here's an example of the API method

PUT https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/{account_id}/workers/dispatch/namespaces/{namespace}/scripts/{script_name}/secrets
Content-Type: application/json
X-Auth-Key: YOUR-API-KEY

{
  "name": "DB_PASSWORD",
  "text":  "secretPassword123",
  "type": "secret_text"
}

  "name": "DB_PASSWORD",
  "text":  "secretPassword123",
  "type": "secret_text"
