Fernando Barroso•1/6/25, 4:32 PM

hello all! In all examples I see alarms being scheduled for several seconds in the future. If I wanted to schedule immediate async work (i.e.

await this.ctx.storage.setAlarm(Date.now());

await this.ctx.storage.setAlarm(Date.now());

) could I run into any issues? Are there any gotchas here? I have been using this and it works, however, I have encountered (what seems to be) race conditions with this async work so I wonder if that immediate alarm has anything to do with this.

maybe, since the whole DO is single threaded, you could run into scaling issues with that vs using a queue and worker instead, also DO CPU is more expensive than a worker

WonderPandaDev•1/7/25, 3:37 AM

Hey thanks for the tip I'll try this out! Is this documented anywhere? Still trying to ramp up on the expected experience when developing locally. Just to make sure I understand, are you saying I should keep the service binding and use that to forward the Request to the worker running in a separate wrangler dev process and then that can pass the request to the DO?

J

James•1/7/25, 4:18 AM

I made a proxy obj in front of the binding in my main app. If I’m running local, the proxy sends a fetch to localhost separate wrangler running the DO with the same payload and response signature. If not local, the proxy just calls the binding directly.

The fetch handler on the DO only runs locally, and instantiates the stub directly based on the request body.

Larry•1/7/25, 1:59 PM

Thanks for giving that example. It's perfect for when you have an array of SQL statements you want to execute in a transaction. You can also take advantage of my favorite thing about the DO concurrency model by intermixing queries and code using

this.storage.transactionSync(() => {...})

this.storage.transactionSync(() => {...})

directly. In the callback, you can do a query, process it with code, do another query, etc. Then, every storage operation in that callback will either all-succeed or all-fail.

marko.333•1/9/25, 9:11 PM

I'm a little uncertain of the concurrency rules for Durable Objects RPC calls?
If i have a DO("id1").doStuff() and many concurrent clients are connected to same DO instance ("id1"), then (roughly) all callers to doStuff() are serialized when a storage call is in-progress.
But i wanted to confirm that serialized execution is only triggered for storage calls - correct?
For example, what if the doStuff() implementation included some external calls (to another Worker, or external API fetch, ...)?
While await'ing for the external call to complete, will the other concurrent callers of doStuff() be able to continue execution (ie. an external API call will not cause all other concurrent callers to block)?
Thx.

GB/s is not checking how much memory your code uses, since you are charged for the 128MB allocated to your DO. See details in https://developers.cloudflare.com/durable-objects/platform/pricing/
So, regardless if you use 100MB or 10MB while iterating your results, the billing won't change.

5 Duration billing charges for the 128 MB of memory your Durable Object is allocated, regardless of actual usage. If your account creates many instances of a single Durable Object class, Durable Objects may run in the same isolate on the same physical machine and share the 128 MB of memory. These Durable Objects are still billed as if they are allocated a full 128 MB of memory.
