Just a question about future tooling you're building. Are there any plans to build an automatic sharding solution? Or something where we can add a pool of DBs and automatically write / query data from that pool?
I know this kind of opposite to the way you're encouraging us to think about these DBs, but perhaps sharding could be useful still in some cases?

New API design is for the upcoming read replication.

We're discussing dynamic bindings internally and will have more to share soon

Congrats on the GA! Question on smart placement and d1, is this section of the docs still up to date?

Workers with a D1 binding will always be placed in a data center near the location of the D1 database they are bound to. Subrequests to other back-end services are ignored by Smart Placement in this case.

https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/configuration/smart-placement/#d1

The blog post briefly mentions smart placement, but from what I gather till the session and read replication APIs are in it is still the case that workers with d1 bindings only live in one location?

Vy•4/1/24, 1:35 PM

D1 today still only has 1 copy in a single location. Once read replication is enabled, replicas can exist in multiple locations.

Smart Placement operates on Workers placement not D1. It runs your Worker closer to a bound D1 database

rvg•4/1/24, 1:40 PM

Great! I'd love to add d1 to an app but I was a little hesitant reading the comment that it would push all the deployments to one geo region

As I'd only use d1 in some parts/endpoints, I'd love for the others to be servable from any edge location. Could you maybe comment on if that's possible with service bindings today? There's some conflicting info on the docs last I checked: d1-database

However since we have some deployment regulation restriction...will D1 (and workers) support restricted deployment to specific location only?

We are evaluating future D1 jurisdiction support, https://developers.cloudflare.com/durable-objects/reference/data-location/#restrict-durable-objects-to-a-jurisdiction, so share your needs!

You can restrict a Durable Object to a jurisdiction, or provide a location hint.

Nice. Updating wrangler still shows beta though

Mas Inis•4/1/24, 1:53 PM

frankly... location jurisdiction is the biggest thing that obstruct us adopting CF dev platforms, shackled with AWS or GCP :NotLikeThis:

especially if you have financial sector clients.

In a multi tenant setup like this, will D1 have parent child schemas, or will schemas have to be updated one by one?

tadeumaia•4/1/24, 3:06 PM

D1 going GA means it's coming soon to south-america? This is whats making me stay at turso for now.

Fernando Dilland•4/1/24, 4:24 PM

With the new features of D1, do you think it is possible to host a WordPress?

FFernando Dilland With the new features of D1, do you think it is possible to host a WordPress? 🤔

Hello, I’m Allie!•4/1/24, 4:25 PM

No, since Workers/Pages doesn't support PHP

Hello, I’m Allie!•4/1/24, 4:25 PM

There was someone who built a PHP demo, but I highly doubt that it is stable enough to run the entirety of WP

Hello, I’m Allie!•4/1/24, 4:26 PM

Plus you would probably want something officially supported

Isaac McFadyen•4/1/24, 4:28 PM

And even if it was viable to run Wordpress, each plugin hooks in custom PHP code so adding any plugins would likely break things unless you specifically adapted it for each plugin

Did you check out the blog post released today?
https://blog.cloudflare.com/building-d1-a-global-database

The Cloudflare Blog

Building D1: a Global Database

D1, Cloudflare’s SQL database, is now generally available. With new support for 10GB databases, data export, and enhanced query debugging, we empower developers to build production-ready applications with D1 to meet all their relational SQL needs

Taylor•4/1/24, 5:04 PM

It seems sessions solves the data consistency portion of the issue but how does that improve write latency? Is the write latency just negligible that the delay won't really be too noticeable by the user? '

Vy•4/1/24, 5:07 PM

write latency will be influenced by how long the primary D1 takes to serve a write request. Read replicas asynchronoulsy replicate from the primary, which doesn't impact write latency

Will it be possible to create a D1 instance or check D1's storage capacity from the worker? One db per customer sounds great but is useless in many cases without on-the-fly management.

Vy•4/1/24, 7:52 PM

for some folks, its tricky to use a "beta" database for production workloads, even if they already fit well with D1 capabilities. D1 GA was centered on hitting reliability/DevEx with the product as is. D1 has many more features planned, which will enable even more workloads.

haochenx•4/1/24, 8:25 PM

Congrats on GA. When will real transaction support be available? Am I correct in assuming transaction will be available to local D1 on Durable Objects once that’s shipped?

Compared to eg postgres, since SQLite does not support stored procedures one has to have transaction for certain queries (the current batched transaction does not support arbitrary data dependency between queries in the batch, unless you write sub queries, but that is a lot of time troubling or too difficult in SQL)

Or maybe rolling out CF’s custom support for stored function might be another viable route? (Something like an Durable Object, but for D1 DB and each method can be used as SQLite function in a query)

MMax (@rozenmd)> without on-the-fly management. specifically what are you looking for? 👀

Rob M.•4/1/24, 10:13 PM

Like the ability to create a new D1 instance from the worker upon new user registration. Then this instance should be available to all other necessary workers without redeployment.

Another use case is when a worker writes to D1 instance until it's full, then creates another one and writes to it.

Rob M.•4/1/24, 10:48 PM

Btw, how to upgrade current D1s to the 10GB storage?
