Not exactly. We support protocol-level prepared statements, like your driver uses. We do not parse out and manage it as a keyword right now. At some point if there's enough need we could but we don't see that a lot honestly

ramnivas•6/4/24, 7:23 PM

@kian @elithrar @AJR Thanks for your responses.

Is there a document that describes the pooling mechanism? I am particularly interested in how prepared statements behave if I make two identical queries.

let res1 = client.query("SELECT * FROM FOO", &[]).await?;
let res2 = client.query("SELECT * FROM FOO", &[]).await?;

let res1 = client.query("SELECT * FROM FOO", &[]).await?;
let res2 = client.query("SELECT * FROM FOO", &[]).await?;

Would the statement prepared in the first query be cached? In other words, would Hyperdrive call

prepare

prepare

twice (as in https://github.com/sfackler/rust-postgres/blob/98f5a11bc0a8e451552d8941ffa078c7eb6cd60c/tokio-postgres/src/to_statement.rs#L18, which is invoked from https://github.com/sfackler/rust-postgres/blob/98f5a11bc0a8e451552d8941ffa078c7eb6cd60c/tokio-postgres/src/client.rs#L363.

A bit of context:

I am in the process of supporting Cloudflare Worker for Exograph (https://github.com/exograph/exograph/pull/1081). It is working okay without Hyperdrive (high latency) and great with Hyperdrive (with a fork of tokio-postgres to avoid prepared statements: https://github.com/sfackler/rust-postgres/pull/1147).

I would like to determine the extent of Hyperdrive support to decide if there is value in continuing to use my fork. For example, if Hyperdrive reuses the prepared statement, then going with

query

query

will be better (to be measured, of course). If not, my fork avoids an extra roundtrip.

AJROP•6/4/24, 7:27 PM

I don't think this is well documented. I'm happy to write up some explanation when I have some spare cycles. Hopefully today or tomorrow.

Short answer, it's complicated. We reuse the prepared statement if possible, or we re-send the parse on the new connection if not.

Just a clarification: The use of

simple_query

simple_query

was required earlier (I believe until May 22 https://developers.cloudflare.com/hyperdrive/platform/changelog/#2024-05-22). With the prepared statement support in Hyperdrive, plain

query

query

also works with a caveat I mentioned (must turn on caching in Hyperdrive setting). The caveat is an issue in Hyperdrive (per @AJR), so once that is fixed, it will be all okay!

Is Hyperdrive smart enough to clear the cache of a SELECT query if a mutate has happened for that row? For instance, the user profile is cached but then they change their bio. If they refresh would they still see the old profile until “max-age”?

AJROP•6/5/24, 11:58 AM

Without getting into browser caching, no Hyperdrive does not do proactive cache purging after volatile queries. It's something we've discussed but would be a non-trivial feature to add and generally is not something users have asked for overmuch.

If you need to bypass cache on specific queries, we don't check cache on any volatile queries, so you could add any such function. For example including

random()

random()

and ignoring that field in your result would do it.

If not purging cache on mutation is a dealbreaker feature for you, it would be helpful for us to understand a bit about your use case, if you'd be willing to chat about it.

Isaac McFadyen•6/5/24, 1:24 PM

I'd also add that max-age is also browser-side along with server-side.

Isaac McFadyen•6/5/24, 1:24 PM

So even if Hyperdrive could purge the cache somehow (which seems like a bad idea IMO, a DB connection shouldn't be able to modify my CDN config) then it won't affect browser-side caching anyway.

Paul•6/5/24, 2:32 PM

Hmm seems to be a few caching layers here. Let’s say the user who owns the profile has edited it and expects to see the changes immediately. Is there a way to cache bust just for that user? (I’m not understanding how the browser cache plays along with the hyperdrive layer)

PPaul Hmm seems to be a few caching layers here. Let’s say the user who owns the profi...

Isaac McFadyen•6/5/24, 2:43 PM

So these are the cache layers I assume you have (correct me here if I'm wrong):

Browser cache, this is local on the user's web browser and based on
```
max-age
```
```
max-age
```
. This is quite tricky to bust and you usually disable this for APIs in favor of 2.
Server-side cache, this is the Cloudflare CDN and/or your server and/or the Worker that is serving the API requests. To purge this you need control of the Worker, or if it's the CDN cache you need to make an API call to the Cloudflare API. This is also based on
```
maxage
```
```
maxage
```
, but if you want to only cache on the server-side you can use
```
s-maxage
```
```
s-maxage
```
instead.
Hyperdrive query cache. I don't know many details on this, @AJR would know more about how cache busting works here.

Isaac McFadyen•6/5/24, 2:44 PM

Your original question was about whether a query in Hyperdrive would auto-cache-purge 1 or 2. It doesn't do that because it's a separate system and it's unintuitive/broken behavior if a database connection cache purges the other layers. The developer should have full control over whether that happens and if so, when and how.

AJROP•6/5/24, 2:59 PM

That is all correct to the best of my understanding. My answer above about including a benign volatile function is the current best solution for cache busting point 3. We expect to add more polish on that front, though it isn't our highest priority at this time.

Matt Silverlock•6/5/24, 10:04 PM

I do think some things are being mixed up here:

Hyperdrive’s cache is only specific to Hyperdrive (per config ID). The
```
maxage
```
```
maxage
```
in Hyperdrive dictates that caches maximum TTL per unique query. It’s not a CDN cache and doesn’t cache any results in the browser.
```
maxage
```
```
maxage
```
is just a common name for a TTL-based cache configuration setting.
You can also use Cloudflare’s CDN cache from a Worker or Pages app, but there is no intersection with Hyperdrive (unless you actively choose to insert things into it).

Where is your database? Hyperdrive is currently focused on making it faster to connect (and query) your database from Workers.

If you’re using Lambda and Aurora in the same region, it won’t make much sense here.

Do hyperdrive also work with PostgresML?

Rramnivas That will be awesome. Thank you!

AJROP•6/10/24, 4:58 PM

Posting my response a little more publicly, for visibility's sake.

After looking into it, the way tokio-postgres implements prepared statements and the extended query protocol is rather different than how our supported drivers do it. We will work on adding support for extended queries in that driver, but it will not be very soon (lots of other big features we've committed to first). For the meantime, we recommend using simple queries with that driver. I'll check our docs and make sure that they offer similar guidance.

Note that while @ramnivas did see better behavior with caching, that's somewhat incidental and you're likely to still hit bugs using extended queries in tokio-postgres even with caching enabled.

Thank you @ramnivas for the excellent write-up!

You can use the production and preview environments, e.g.

[[env.production.hyperdrive]]
binding = "HYPERDRIVE"
id = "id-1"

[env.preview]
[[env.preview.hyperdrive]]
binding = "HYPERDRIVE"
id = "id-2"

[env.production]
[[env.production.hyperdrive]]
binding = "HYPERDRIVE"
id = "id-1"

[env.preview]
[[env.preview.hyperdrive]]
binding = "HYPERDRIVE"
id = "id-2"
