Hey everyone! Had a question. Is there a way to run a process in Cloudflare parallel with a request.

Hey everyone! Had a question. Is there a way to run a process in Cloudflare parallel with a request.

For if a URL gets requested

someURL.com

someURL.com

someURL.com

someURL.com I'd like it to execute as normal but then at the time of the request I'd like to run a background process.

Basically run a worker which doesn't manipulate or delay the incoming request. Hope that make sense. Thanks!

You want ctx.waitUntil()ctx.waitUntil(): https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/runtime-apis/context/#waituntil

EErisa You want `ctx.waitUntil()`: <https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/runtime-a...

PlinpodOP•6/25/24, 9:31 PM

oh ok gotcha, so still use a worker, instantly send back the response and setup a waitUntil for all the background stuff

Erisa•6/25/24, 9:32 PM

Yes

Erisa•6/25/24, 9:32 PM

Make sure you run the waitUntil before you return the response, the function you pass will keep running even after the response is done

PlinpodOP•6/25/24, 9:33 PM

awesome, I'll play around with it. Thanks!

Chaika•6/25/24, 9:47 PM

you could try asking it in here or #general-help or could just wait it out, it'll be unlocked in a bit when people calm down

When CloudFlare becomes the DDOS of discord.

CosmosisT•6/25/24, 9:52 PM

I love it, you guys have fun tonight.

Ppeshakoo what if its r2 piped through a worker?

Chaika•6/25/24, 9:52 PM

On r2 means CF is hosting it, so the hosted content stuff follows: https://www.cloudflare.com/trust-hub/reporting-abuse/

Reporting abuse - Cloudflare | Cloudflare

Learn how to report abuse to Cloudflare, how to categorize the abuse you report, what information to include in your report, how to report anonymously, and more.

XxSkeletor hey i was just checking my whois data for my cf domains. both domains redact eve...

Erisa•6/25/24, 10:27 PM

This varies by the rules of the TLD, there isn't really anything you can do

Erisa•6/25/24, 10:28 PM

Cloudflare redacts everything it can but if the TLD says that something cant be redacted then well it cant redact it

Erisa•6/25/24, 10:29 PM

if the field is still optional you can try just removing it and making it tied to your personal identity instead, but unsure what legal consequences that might hold for your org

CosmosisT•6/25/24, 10:29 PM

Yup, if you want a CA domain you have to identify yourself.

CosmosisT•6/25/24, 10:29 PM

Fun how that works but safe.

XxSkeletor it's not a big deal but i was just curious as to why both my domains were differ...

Erisa•6/25/24, 10:30 PM

Its always the TLD... lol

XxSkeletor is there a way to see what information a tld can redact?

Erisa•6/25/24, 10:31 PM

Hmm I never found a good reference for that

CosmosisT•6/25/24, 11:21 PM

You want a domain that has WhoIS privacy included. It's part of the TLD as stated the requirements to owning such domain.

A .com domain may stay private to public, but a .ca domain would require you to be known (no privacy).

Zaraz, I added a Custom HTML, why is zaraz only available on the home page domain.com, but not on a page like domain.com/other/?

Hey I just joined, I have a question, can the Cloudflare firewall protect also a self hosted database? I would like to use the tunnel and waf firewall to protect a database hosted on my raspberry pi. Thanks
