Hey folks, I'm confused about durable object bindings for Pages. I'm trying to setup the binding but there are no durable objects I can pick in the list, and when I go to the durable object section of the dashboard there's no obvious way to create them?

There was talk of being able to create DOs in a Pages project and that may have been implemented since I last paid close attention, but if not, you need a plain old Workers project (with an empty Worker, if you wish) to deploy DOs.

xeon06OP•10/2/24, 9:02 PM

Wow I'm not sure how I completely missed that it wasn't available on Pages

xeon06OP•10/2/24, 9:03 PM

I am not seeing any mention of Pages in the docs now that you mention it, only Workers

Larry•10/2/24, 9:04 PM

One of the complexities had to do with the fact that DOs must specify migrations in the .toml file and .toml files weren't supported by Pages back then. I think I saw where that changed at some point, but that could also just be something I heard was planned.

xeon06OP•10/2/24, 9:06 PM

I believe toml files are now supported but am similarly not sure of how that impacts things here. Thanks for the comments though!

Today, we’re launching four improvements to Pages that bring functionality previously restricted to Workers, with the goal of unifying the development experience between the two. Support for monorepos, wrangler.toml, new additions to Next.js support and database integrations!

DaniFoldi•10/2/24, 9:23 PM

That wasn't the complexity with Pages, and the compatibility matrix shows that defining DOs is still not supported in Pages: https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/static-assets/compatibility-matrix/#_top

Implying they can be defined in workers and used in pages? Do I just need to add them to a worker's wrangler.toml?

Larry•10/2/24, 10:35 PM

Yes, they can be defined in a Worker, then bound to the Pages app in the console (but maybe that can now be done in the .toml, I don't know), then called from the Pages app.

xeon06OP•10/2/24, 10:48 PM

Ahh I see, it looks like I can probably bind it directly in the UI in Pages now, just didn't know how to "define" the worker!

Larry•10/2/24, 10:50 PM

That's well covered in the getting started for DOs

Benjamín Vicente 🇨🇱•10/2/24, 11:15 PM

Is https://github.com/evanderkoogh/do-taskmanager still the recommended way to do tasks?

For context, I had planed to use setTimeout with no more that 10s to run tasks after a RPC call (that could work perfectly to the 30s per request limit right now), but in a testing environment, the timeout seems to be cleared/evicted immediately.

Edit with more context: What I am building requires debouncing a task.
For example, a real time editor that generates a PDF from the edited content. Generating a PDF on each change doesn't make since when multiples changes are made per second and generating a PDF takes multiple seconds. So I want to generate a PDF after X seconds of each change, and cancel the previous task if a change is made (ideally, with access to an abort controller to cancel internal steps).
My initial idea is that a DO holds multiple text editors (like a "workspace") and multiple clients (web browsers via WS). A workers call the DO to connect via WS, and the DO handles text change.

James•10/4/24, 4:25 PM

just to confirm sql.exec and batching 'transactions'. If I have something like a big fat DDL migration sql script run in a single exec. lets say the first two statements pass (create table a,b) but I fail the 3rd due to bad sql or DDL failure (table C already exists), then the whole thing rolls back?

Ashish Rawat•10/5/24, 5:49 AM

So, I want to know because durable object has 1GB limit per object. Let's say if I store a user data per object in durable object, then later if I want to fetch let's say 20 user data all at once (for listing on frontend). How to do that

James•10/5/24, 5:51 AM

you need a deterministic way of accessing your durable objects, likely a central db keeping track of IDs, you'd have to hit every stub with whatever query you want and join the results

Ashish Rawat•10/5/24, 5:52 AM

so basically aggregate and manual sharding via timestamp

Ashish Rawat•10/5/24, 5:53 AM

then I'll wait for durable object with sqlite to get more mature until sharding is automatic. The same is the case with D1.

Ashish Rawat•10/5/24, 5:54 AM

This is very confusing for sqlite

can you test a durable object locally without running workerd? perhaps just a plain JS implementation of the parent DurableObject class?

Hello, I’m Allie!•10/5/24, 6:49 AM

You can run Miniflare/wrangler yourself, but it still uses workerd under the hood

Hello, I’m Allie!•10/5/24, 6:50 AM

May I ask why specifically you want to avoid workerd?

matt•10/5/24, 6:54 AM

im migrating to bun and normally tests run so fast you can enable save on keypress in vscode and watch your tests run as you're typing

matt•10/5/24, 6:55 AM

but you wouldn't want any external libs (workerd) spinning up on each keypress. i think the way i'll get around it is taking all the business logic out of the DO into a regular class and just test that

Hello, I’m Allie!•10/5/24, 7:08 AM

Depending on what parts of a DO you use, you may be able to get it to work?

Hello, I’m Allie!•10/5/24, 7:08 AM

Though something like Synchronous SQLite probably isn’t stubable?

matt•10/5/24, 7:12 AM

i do use alarms but I need to stub those anyway so im splitting the BL into a seperate class and then will create a DurableObjectStub that wraps the BL class for testing, and the traditional DO class will also pull in the same BL class

matt•10/5/24, 7:12 AM

bun has an embedded sqlite too, so i'll use that in the test stub

Mmatt bun has an embedded sqlite too, so i'll use that in the test stub

Hello, I’m Allie!•10/5/24, 7:14 AM

Is it synchronous though? Since that does provide a bit more significant challenge

Hello, I’m Allie!•10/5/24, 7:15 AM

The other thing too that Bun doesn’t/can’t mock is the supported API surface

Hello, I’m Allie!•10/5/24, 7:15 AM

So some APIs available in workerdworkerd may be subtly different/present/not present in bunbun and vice versa

Hello, I’m Allie!•10/5/24, 7:16 AM

Your code may be able to compensate for that, but you would also need to make sure any dependencies you pull in also do so

matt•10/5/24, 7:18 AM

yes its synchronous - https://bun.sh/docs/api/sqlite

matt•10/5/24, 7:18 AM

i just migrated the first DO without any issue, but the other ones make use of more DO APIs so will have to just tackle them one by one and see if my stub can faithfully recreate a prod DO

matt•10/5/24, 7:19 AM

incredible feeling getting immediate feedback on your tests

Hoshenk13•10/5/24, 9:38 AM

lets say i want to connect more than 100k websockets with Hibernation.
since the limit is 32,768 WebSocket connections per Durable Object instance, i need some way monitor the count in every Durable Object instance, and create new objects and route requests to them? is it possible this way?

Original message was deleted

Hoshenk13•10/5/24, 10:07 AM

thanks for the recommendation.
i also need to broadcast events to all sockets on all DO's.

how can i do it?
maybe a route on each DO's, that will do broadcast and then i will request all DO's with thier ids?
