Hey, quick question

infinite cat gen•8/1/24, 5:15 PM

is it possible to open a worker to direct IP connections?

Iinfinite cat gen is it possible to open a worker to direct IP connections?

You mean tcp/udp inbound, essentially? As it is right now workers fit firmly behind the CDN/normal proxy. They've talked about being able to have tcp/udp inbound in the past, but nothing yet

If you mean just skipping the cdn or something then as said above they sit firmly behind the cdn/normal proxy. Workers do not have IPs assigned to them. They run everywhere on every machine

Chaika•8/1/24, 5:22 PM

yea I mean they're behind the normal cdn so you would have to pass the right host header/sni/url to reach them, and even then CDN IPs are not a good idea to hardcode as they change

yeah so no point in trying

Frank•8/1/24, 9:49 PM

is there a limit on how many custom cache namespace we can create?

Hyper•8/1/24, 10:14 PM

Hey guys. I want to create a notification system but im not sure where to start. my original idea was using durable objects but i think the limit of 32,000 active connections makes it not scalable, and if i go for a 1:1 architcture then it would be difficult to communicate with other DOs. My next idea is SSE using the event source API. What I want to achieve is essentially when a request is made to my API (which runs on workers), some requests will trigger notifications to reach certain clients. Id like to communicate the data to those specific clients. Any ideas or suggestions?

For example, user A sends a friend request to user B by calling an API endpoint on my worker. I want to push the notification to user B. Any help would be appreciated

Brett Willis•8/2/24, 12:25 AM

Coming from Node.JS, the event loop is well understood. Particularly that Promise callbacks operate on the microtask queue and I/O is not processed in between microtasks. Unless I've missed something in my searches, very little is described about the event loop in Workers and how/when the event loop processes other requests (does it use the "default" V8 event loop implementation, and how does that work?).

The reason I ask is is: how to break up long-running CPU-intensive calculations to allow other requests to be processed in between? E.g. calculating password hashes using noble-hashesnoble-hashes. That library provides an async implementation which just uses promise callbacks (microtask queue) to break up the calculation: https://github.com/paulmillr/noble-hashes/blob/ae060daa6252f3ff2aa2f84e887de0aab491281d/src/utils.ts#L103-L119.

If the workers event loop is similar to Node.JS, I/O and other requests will not be processed between microtasks. So the async implementation would only be less efficient and not have the desired effect of breaking up yielding the CPU to other requests.

Can someone teach me how the Workers event loop is implemented and how to yield to other requests?

The first part about microtask queues blocking I/O sounds like the same scenario as described in https://github.com/cloudflare/workerd/blob/ce15e0b82e6408c49ec3e980f23640bd25d6c675/src/workerd/io/io-context.c%2B%2B#L1044-L1065. Unfortunately, looking at the runtime is probably the only 'documentation' about details like this at the moment.

Brett Willis•8/2/24, 1:10 AM

Thanks for pointing me to that code! I won't pretend to understand the code but yeah from reading that comment it seems to suggest that it behaves the same as Node.JS in that microtasks callbacks do not yield to process I/O (and I'm assuming that "I/O" includes other requests).
No benefit to using the async noble-hashesnoble-hashes versions then, just the significant overhead of enqueueing/dequeueing the stack onto the microtask queue.
It seems you also answered the other question: it looks like Workers has it's own event loop implementation.

Brett Willis•8/2/24, 1:16 AM

Another question related to calculating password hashes. The hashing algorithms usually intentionally consume no small amount of memory. While a single computation may fit within the 128MB limit, two or more computations may not, and therefore all in progress requests would get aborted if the worker hits the memory limit. Does the Workers runtime look at the available memory and/or average memory per request when deciding whether so spin up a new instance vs. hit the same instance and potentially hit the limit?
Perhaps this is a good reason to block the thread and not allow other requests to interleave during hashing calculation...

Mehanika•8/2/24, 10:28 AM

I have a project that has a page and worker. Every new github branch for the app spins up a testing environment which is great. I am not finding any resources how to (or if even possible) to do the same with the api/worker. Anyone has experience with this?

jdruwe•8/2/24, 11:53 AM

I added an issues for the next-on-pages project at: https://github.com/cloudflare/next-on-pages/issues/844, I noticed it to be related to the selected worker runtime version. On older versions the code works. Not sure who from the cloudflare team is able to resolve this.

Hi all, anyway to speed up workers ai through rest api? responses are taking up to 30s, while I have a local llama3.1 running on a rtx3080 and it only takes like 6s?

sia•8/2/24, 4:33 PM

I think I'm missing some basic understanding of how functions and workers can work together. I've binded my worker to my function as mentioned here https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/functions/bindings/#service-bindings. But the only usage example is:

return context.env.SERVICE.fetch(context.request);

return context.env.SERVICE.fetch(context.request);

But, I don't want to just forward the request sent to the function. I want to send the worker JSON data for it to send an email, and in the function I redirect to a confirmation page. I'm unclear how to interact with the worker from the function

Please do not post your question in multiple channels/post it multiple times per the rules at ⁠#

welcome-and-rules. It creates confusion for people trying to help you and doesn't get your issue or question solved any faster.

AI team explain more in their channel, I'm no AI guy and don't know 100% their setup, but comparing local vs remote seems a bit silly. Workers AI is powered by a ton of shared GPUs, vs your one unshared gpu, and they've got lots of magic in front of it with request routing/etc to try to scale/shard requests. There's lots of different ways to run models too is my understanding, each with different quirks

Chaika•8/4/24, 1:16 AM

If smart placement is enabled then request.cf.colo would indeed just be the entry data center and not the worker is running in. You'd have to fetch /cdn-cgi/trace to get the colo then within the worker or look at the cf-placement response header (which you can't get/see within the worker).
In other cases request.cf.colo would be accurate though and it's way easier then those other options

any proxied/orange cloud hostname would work though yea, although you wouldn't want to depend on something that could change in the future. It's a pretty cheap subrequest as it should be handled by same machine/same location
