So I thought building a blog that fetches data from Appwrite and generates a static Cloudflare pages (SSR page generation with Astro)

The doubt is, from what I'm seeing, there's a limit to 10ms CPU time? Then as the code needs to fetch data form appwrite it will throw an instant timeout (as it will take probably more that 10ms to get some response)?

CPU Time is time doing some kind of work. Even if AppWrite takes 10 seconds to return a response, that isn't counted

You should be able to, assuming you aren't doing more than 10 ms. of work rendering the actual page

That's something I'm not sure about

Note with Paid-Plan Workers you can get up to 30s of CPU time

Hello, I’m Allie!•3/20/24, 8:08 PM

So 10ms isn't a hard limit there

D5OP•3/20/24, 8:11 PM

Ouch, astro takes about 100ms

D5OP•3/20/24, 8:11 PM

Then I will use some alternative

D5OP•3/20/24, 8:12 PM

Meanwhile the app scales

DD5 Ouch, astro takes about 100ms 😓

Hello, I’m Allie!•3/20/24, 8:12 PM

That seems extremely high. What are you doing, may I ask?

HHello, I’m Allie!That seems *extremely* high. What are you doing, may I ask?

D5OP•3/20/24, 8:36 PM

I didn't have tested it yet, but from what I've found that's what does it take

DD5 Ouch, astro takes about 100ms 😓

Isaac McFadyen•3/20/24, 8:54 PM

Are you sure you're not confusing CPU and wall time?

Isaac McFadyen•3/20/24, 8:54 PM

100ms sounds quite high indeed.

Isaac McFadyen•3/20/24, 8:54 PM

?cpu-time

Flare•3/20/24, 8:54 PM

CPU Time: the amount of work the CPU needs to do, measured in msms. More CPU-heavy things will increase it (hashing passwords). This is not the same as the time a

fetch

fetch

request takes - a request might take 10 seconds but only use 1ms of CPU Time.
Wall Time: the actual amount of time a Worker runs for, as though you measured it with a clock or your browser DevTools

Hello, I’m Allie!•3/23/24, 6:40 PM

It wouldn't really work. Current advice is assume that the global state is nuked for every request. It can be reused over multiple requests, but it definitely isn't behavior you should rely on

Hello, I’m Allie!•3/23/24, 6:44 PM

They wait ~30 seconds, then are cut off.

They might get a bit longer, but that's the time you are guaranteed, barring other issues

That might have something to do with Spectre Mitigation?

Or you could do it in reverse, from your API?

Is there something obviously wrong with this function that would cause a 503/1019 error? I have a static nuxt 3 cf pages project that works until I deploy this code in a /functions/[[catchall]].js/functions/[[catchall]].js. This code logic works when deployed separately as a cf worker but not when translated to a cf pages function.

export async function onRequest(context) {
    const { request } = context;
    let url = new URL(request.url);

    // Set the hostname to the original site
    url.hostname = "example.com";
    let ogResponse = fetch(url, request);

    // Now set the hostname to the Cloudflare Pages version
    url.hostname = "test-branch.example.pages.dev";
    const cfPagesResponse = await fetch(url, request);

    // Return the Cloudflare Pages response if it's not a 404
    if (cfPagesResponse.status !== 404) {
        return cfPagesResponse;
    }

    // Otherwise, return the original site's response
    return await ogResponse;
}

export async function onRequest(context) {
    const { request } = context;
    let url = new URL(request.url);

    // Set the hostname to the original site
    url.hostname = "example.com";
    let ogResponse = fetch(url, request);

    // Now set the hostname to the Cloudflare Pages version
    url.hostname = "test-branch.example.pages.dev";
    const cfPagesResponse = await fetch(url, request);

    // Return the Cloudflare Pages response if it's not a 404
    if (cfPagesResponse.status !== 404) {
        return cfPagesResponse;
    }

    // Otherwise, return the original site's response
    return await ogResponse;
}

Walshy•3/24/24, 1:38 PM

Well your fetch is gonna invoke the function again... which will do another fetch and invoke again... and repeat

Walshy•3/24/24, 1:39 PM

I think you want env.ASSETS.fetchenv.ASSETS.fetch there instead which will try to request the site content

does middleware count towards your functions quota?

heftymouse•3/25/24, 4:39 PM

additionally, can i only run middleware on some static files? i'd like it to run before my actual pages get served but not static assets

heftymouse•3/25/24, 4:41 PM

the documentation just mentions functions/_middleware.tsfunctions/_middleware.ts for 'all requests, including in front of static files', can't tell if there's any granularity for static files

I can't seem to figure out from the documentation, but is it possible to prevent a Pages Function from being called from anywhere other than the Page itself?

Not really. While you can use CORS to prevent other websites from calling your Functions, that only works in browsers that respect CORS. Not to mention tools like

curl

, or anything that can make HTTP calls. They can be made to respect CORS, but by default do not

Chaika•3/31/24, 2:26 AM

Depends what your functions do (are they just middleware/stuff running in front of static assets)? and your Request Limit failure mode under Settings -> Functions

So I thought building a blog that fetches data from Appwrite and generates a static Cloudflare pages
