Pages Functions are just Workers under the hood, Pages Assets are stored with KV, which exists in two central locations and then is cached on edge. Same for Workers Static Assets

so whats the latency like with KV or R2 with workers in the same region?

Spunkie•10/31/24, 4:03 PM

How does CF cname flattening work with CF proxying and workers?

If I flatten a cname will my worker never trigger because the response the DNS gives will cause the request to just skip cloudflares network?

Eelpupper so whats the latency like with KV or R2 with workers in the same region?

ChaikaOP•10/31/24, 4:07 PM

R2 can be pretty quick, it's not the most consistent performance though. I think ~100ms or so uncached to R2, like EWR/ORD to ENAM bucket on average is around that. Just using workers binding and not cache.

If you use cache, either with r2 custom domain or cache binding, of course gets super quick, like under 40-50ms from all locations as long as you hit cache

KV is more complex. You don't have region control, the two central stores are always EU/US. Cached it's great, espec after recent perf changes, maybe knock off 10ms from what r2 cached would be. Uncached is more complex since no region control.

They both serve very different purposes though, KV is eventually consistent, infrequent updates, lots of writes, R2 is strongly consistent, more mixed usage

Worker Custom Domains or Routes?

ChaikaOP•10/31/24, 4:07 PM

well -- you can't modify custom domains regardless afaik, and enabling flattening on proxied records wouldn't do anything

CChaika Worker Custom Domains or Routes?

Spunkie•10/31/24, 4:08 PM

ah ya.. I guess it would not work because a the cname would just get replaced by a cname for the worker

Eelpupper 40-50 :pepethink:

ChaikaOP•10/31/24, 4:08 PM

I'm counting end to end from my perf monitoring, from the worker it's only going to be ~10ms or so I'd imagine

fry69•10/31/24, 4:09 PM

As far as I understand CNAME flattening only remove intermediary CNAME pointer records and the CF nameservers respond directly with A/AAAA records?

ChaikaOP•10/31/24, 4:09 PM

yes which happens anyway when proxied

Spunkie•10/31/24, 4:10 PM

routes don't cause a cname to be applied, only custom domains ya?

Spunkie•10/31/24, 4:13 PM

@Chaika sorry I confused myself but to be clear, a CNAME that is proxied and flattened can or can not be intercepted by a worker with a route setup to catch something on that cname/subdomain?

ChaikaOP•10/31/24, 4:13 PM

flattening shouldn't matter at all, not even sure why it shows up on proxied records currently

ChaikaOP•10/31/24, 4:14 PM

Proxy inherently needs to unflatten it to connect, as the client sure can't

So the answer is yes* as long as you're not CNAMEing to a CF for SaaS partner on the legacy integration like Shopify

elpupper•10/31/24, 4:14 PM

beautiful

elpupper•10/31/24, 4:15 PM

might have to resort to KV

Eelpupper how long is it presistent for in memory

ChaikaOP•10/31/24, 4:18 PM

as long as it's getting frequent requests but it's complex in reality

ChaikaOP•10/31/24, 4:19 PM

Workers run on the same edge machine which handled your original request. There is no affinity to routing to a specific machine which already has your worker running. There is keepalive. Chance of two random connections hitting the same machine and thus getting the same worker is pretty low, espec when it can be any machine at any cf pop. However, keepalive can make it confusing since your browser would keep hitting the same

ChaikaOP•10/31/24, 4:19 PM

If you're worried about cold starts, CF does a good job of that, taking advantage of the tls handshake to warm up the worker during initial connection, elimating cold starts unless you've got a big worker/a lot of code in global scope

If you're using KV and you want to measure it's real easy and nothing fancy, just performance.now() and writing to Cloudflare's Analytics Engine, ex:

        var startReq = performance.now();
        await env.KV.put(key, req.body, { // or get
    
        });
        var getDur = performance.now() - startReq;
        if (env.AE)
          env.AE.writeDataPoint({
              blobs: [],
              doubles: [getDur],
              indexes: [key]
            });
...

        var startReq = performance.now();
        await env.KV.put(key, req.body, { // or get
    
        });
        var getDur = performance.now() - startReq;
        if (env.AE)
          env.AE.writeDataPoint({
              blobs: [],
              doubles: [getDur],
              indexes: [key]
            });
...

Then you can use Grafana w/ AE and build nice dashboards relatively easily
