What’s happening here is that they are regionally cached but not locally cached, so they get tagged as cache but I would hypothesize that your traffic is still pretty spread out and doesn’t regularly have >1 RPS to the same key within a Cloudflare region

If this is the case, you’re probably getting Cloudflare-wide API rate limits. https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/api/reference/limits/#:~:text=The%20global%20rate%20limit%20for,receiving%20a%20HTTP%20429%20response.

If you have an enterprise account, you could contact your account team to increase these

Cloudflare Docs

Limits | Cloudflare Fundamentals docs

The global rate limit for the Cloudflare API is 1200 requests per five minutes per user, and applies cumulatively regardless of whether the request is made via the dashboard, API key, or API token.

How are you using KV within your app/can you share more context about the use case? Trying to understand what’s the right solution here

every account has account-wide rate limits of 1200 requests per 5 minutes. That applies to using Workers KV via the REST API (which is what the cloudflarecloudflare npm package is calling).

We know that's limiting and we have ongoing efforts to revisit how rate limiting is applied, but this is months away (requires per product instance rate limiting).

I strongly recommend using the Workers KV binding that should be using from within your Workers https://developers.cloudflare.com/kv/api/read-key-value-pairs/. Is there a reason why you aren't using the binding currently?

KV update:

2024-11-14: We updated our REST API docs to add granular errors to bulk operations endpoints for writes and deletes. https://developers.cloudflare.com/kv/platform/changelog/#2024-11-14

The response body of those endpoints now contain unsuccessful_keysunsuccessful_keys and successful_key_countsuccessful_key_count in the

result

result

field. https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/operations/workers-kv-namespace-write-multiple-key-value-pairs#Responses

This gives you a way to know which of the KV pairs have been properly written/deleted in a bulk operation and enables you to retry only the unsuccessful keys in the event of an error.

thomasgauvinOP•11/18/24, 3:13 PM

Hi @xiaoyu2er, that comparison is outdated. Workers KV is the fastest way to retrieve data from a Worker, especially for high read throughput.

Workers KV makes use of caching across the Cloudflare network internally to make sure that highly requested items are very fast. That means that it's ideal for configuration data, non-relational data, A/B tests, user preferences, that requires very high read throughput (high requests per second) and that have infrequent reads. The caching means that your data is effectively global.

You'd use D1 for your general application data. It can handle lower throughput but provides consistency, which you may need if you want to immediately see writes. This is why it's recommended for general application data.

The big part that is missing from the benchmark above, in addition to it being outdated, is regionality. KV is replicated globally, whereas D1 is currently single-region.

Jak•11/22/24, 4:09 PM

Hi - Is there a difference in the below two calls? I'm getting two different results for

const value = await env.NAMESPACE.list({ prefix: "testing" });

vs

a call to

https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4
/accounts/{account_id}/storage/kv/namespaces/{namespace_id}/keys/prefix=testing

https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4
/accounts/{account_id}/storage/kv/namespaces/{namespace_id}/keys/prefix=testing

It seems that the default should be 1000 if not provided. My storage has around 200-300 items with the prefix but the first one would return an arbitrary number at times(e.g. 50, 93) while the rest call would always return all of them. I wonder if the first case could be suffering from

It is possible to have an empty array in keys, but still have more keys to fetch, because recently expired or deleted keys ↗ must be iterated through but will not be included in the returned keys.

where the deleted ones are counted as part of the limit but the second one is not?

Kimitri•11/23/24, 7:08 AM

Hi folks, I have a question, I came from traditional Node.js Express REST apis that caches with mysql database data with Redis, so I don't know if I understand KV well, but it's like Redis and is good to use it to cache database list results for performance improvement, or is D1 enough for this purpose? Or the purpose of KV is cache the entire response from a Worker?

1984 Ford Laser•11/24/24, 5:21 AM

hey there - has the behavior with KV changed recently? we are getting KV hits for deleted key-pairs

some context:

the key has a cacheTTL of 24h
we delete the key through the REST API
the key is not in the KV if i prefix search the key on the dashbaord
a console.log() after the read in the worker still finds the old row

so I'm thinking either the delete is just taking longer than usual to propagate, or maybe something's changed, cause iirc we got a miss here previously

i have 2 questions, full disclosure: i don't understand back end infrastructure too well

1# is kv as secure as d1? like can i store emails as keys on it? is that a good idea?? or will ANYONE be able to retrieve that info? the docs seem to imply it's fairly secure i think

2# how quick are updates if i write into kv? will that happen under 30 mins and be reflected everywhere?

if info about my use case is needed, i want to store a list of digital item's urls or ids (which i will fetch with ajax on client side)
stored as "email (who purchased) : json (nested list of items purchased)"

originally i thought user sign in sign up would be neat but i don't want the responsibility of storing passwords or anything for something as simple as "hey did the user purchase this product fully?", specially because payments will be handled face to face, not digitally and i will have to input emails and purchase list by hand anyway. i think getting email from google sign in or something then fetching the key : value pair seems reasonable and simple to me

It's not possible to do this at the moment, the recommendation is to use the REST API or Workers directly in order to migrate the data.
