anything similar like that for storing env keys secrets for external APIs on tbhe web ui that can be called by workers or funtions? or shouldwe just use kv

Rrob anything similar like that for storing env keys secrets for external APIs on tbh...

You should use Secrets for API keys that infrequently change, but if you need to update them from code or have a lot of them then you should use KV.

Isaac McFadyen•3/28/24, 4:06 PM

KV is still secure.

robOP•3/28/24, 4:06 PM

yea it would be secrets

Rrob yea it would be secrets

Isaac McFadyen•3/28/24, 4:06 PM

Sorry, I mean Secrets as in the actual Workers bindings: https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/configuration/secrets/

Isaac McFadyen•3/28/24, 4:07 PM

They can't be changed via code, only either through the dash or Wrangler.

robOP•3/28/24, 4:09 PM

alright nice did not know about that on the web ui

robOP•3/28/24, 4:09 PM

thought you had to use wrangler for it only

Hello, I’m Allie!•3/30/24, 10:34 AM

You build a Worker to send requests through?

Hello, I’m Allie!•3/30/24, 10:34 AM

Other than that, no. The Cloudflare API is generally pretty slow, when compared with Workers bindings

Hi, does anyone know if KV supports bulk reads? It seems really inefficient to be reading out 1 key at a time compared to providing a list of keys and getting the values back like Redis

Hello, I’m Allie!•4/1/24, 6:59 AM

It does not, though you can issue reads in parallel, by awaiting them all with Promise.allPromise.all

DaniFoldi•4/1/24, 8:40 AM

bulk reads unfortunately aren't supported by the binding, and not even by the api, since individual values could be up to 25MB in size - if your data is small (eg. fits in key + metadata), you can use

list

list

to get up to 1k keys at a time

talkingarmor•4/1/24, 11:17 AM

Yeah, that's what I am doing, but it feels wrong initiating so many calls to load from KV.

talkingarmor•4/1/24, 11:17 AM

The files I have are very small, usually less than 20kb compressed

talkingarmor•4/1/24, 11:18 AM

But my app requires loading 50 to 100 key value pairsr per function call

Ttalkingarmor The files I have are very small, usually less than 20kb compressed

DaniFoldi•4/1/24, 12:15 PM

Yeah metadata is unfortunately 1 or 2kb, can’t remember exactly, so too large, you can either chunk the files or batch them into a single larger kv value

Chief•4/1/24, 2:25 PM

Does KV have read/write units? I.e. If I write 10MB into a value, is it the same price as writing 10KB?

CChief Does KV have read/write units? I.e. If I write 10MB into a value, is it the same...

Isaac McFadyen•4/1/24, 2:51 PM

Yes, same price. All writes are billed as the same amount.

Isaac McFadyen•4/1/24, 2:52 PM

KV has a limit of 25MB per value so that's the limit there, but anything below the limit is billed the same.

Unsmart•4/1/24, 5:15 PM

Durable objects is the only product that bills by units instead of just read or write

Unsmart•4/1/24, 5:15 PM

Everything else is simple pricing

DaniFoldi•4/2/24, 7:34 AM

For values that are cached, retrievals should be much faster. For new reads, they come from one of the core locations. See https://developers.cloudflare.com/kv/reference/how-kv-works/ for how it works

Hi, I am having issues assessing my KV namespace. Also I created my worker on vscode but I cannot see it on my cloudflare web account. Could this be why there is a discrepancy in assessing my namespace and if it is or whyever this is happening, could I get assistance from someone here please?

zegevlier•4/3/24, 6:55 PM

No, you can only use KV namespaces from the same account

YokoWasis•4/4/24, 1:21 AM

KV is unbelieveably slow, any problem with cloudflare ?

YYokoWasis KV is unbelieveably slow, any problem with cloudflare ?

Chaika•4/4/24, 1:31 AM

no known issues on the status page with kv #cloudflare-status, and it looks ok on my end. What do you mean by "unbelievably slow"?

YokoWasis•4/4/24, 1:35 AM

it took 10 secs for a request that usually completed less than 1 sec

YokoWasis•4/4/24, 1:38 AM

I don't know whether this is caused by workers or kv. The endpoint is basically just "read some kv key" and output the result as json

Chaika•4/4/24, 1:40 AM

Do you still get 10s latency to it, or was that just one time? I tested the endpoint directly you sent in DM and I get ~50ms to it

YokoWasis•4/4/24, 1:41 AM

i stil get it. it's not fixed by 10s, but more than 5sec

YokoWasis•4/4/24, 1:41 AM

I am in Indonesia

Chaika•4/4/24, 1:42 AM

KV has two central stores, one in US, one in EU, and then caches at each location for the CacheTTL (which is min/default 60s), so Indonesia is a fair bit away but shouldn't be that high, and should be relatively low after it is cached

Tony Leung•4/4/24, 6:08 AM

so now I know why my API is extremely slow to use KV as JWT's JTI storage. It would be nice to have KV to store their data at APAC - Oceania

OOG | Career Fair Chair Assistant I am still unable to assess my kv namespace

andrewp•4/4/24, 1:10 PM

How did you create your namespace? From your workers project repo, run npx wrangler kv:namespace listnpx wrangler kv:namespace list and share the output please.

TTony Leung so now I know why my API is extremely slow to use KV as JWT's JTI storage. It wo...

Chaika•4/4/24, 1:12 PM

well YokoWasis's specific issue is his ISP was routing him from Indonesia to Europe for a bit, but eventually straightened out, so you shouldn't see as bad latency like he did, but yea it would be nice if there was a central store over there. Durable Objects and Durable Object Storage might be a good alternative, they just launched DOs in Australia yesterday

You would have to patch the Worker with the new ID, but otherwise yes
