We started out with 6 DO classes in a monolith worker. In the beginning it was a lot easier to work with (single deploy, no bindings) but we hit perf issues because our monolith bundle was so large and Cf loads it on every Worker request or every individual DO request. We are currently splitting into multiple Workers which means transfer migrations as we DO storage heavily

Personally I'd love if Cloudflare improved support for smarter loading/importing based on whether the code is executing as a Worker or as a DO, and which DO class specifically. Doesn't seem necessary to load everything at once if the Worker scripts are set up the right way

Thanks for the heads-up, definitely will be deploying separately based on your experiences, although local dev experience is going to suck until they release the v5 terraform sdk

Interesting thanks for this. How big was your worker and what performance gains did you observe? @Beefp

I started writing but it turned into a wall of text. I'll summarize here but I want to write a more detailed thing later on our blog. We measured two things:

Bundle startup time which you get as output from Wrangler when you deploy. We went from 200ms -> 40ms just by simplifying dependencies, lazy-loading where possible, splitting out heavier packages.
Response time hitting a simple Hello World endpoint. We had endpoints just for the Worker and one for each DO class. Response times on the Worker went from about 500ms to sub 200. Going through the Worker to the DO is a bit more.

We started off with a lot of low hanging fruit like bundles that were doing all their processing when you imported them, and some packages like limax and OpenAI which have a heavy overhead (they went into different Workers).

BeefpOP•1/13/25, 10:16 PM

if you are dealing with a monolith my recommendation is: build your worker locally and load it into Chrome with

---inspect-brk

---inspect-brk

you'll see exactly where time is being spent. I think once you've optimized on your side the only thing you can do is architect your DOs and Workers in a way that they're closer to your users which is another topic + what we're dealing with now (moveable DOs when pls)

TTyveris I’m considering using Durable Objects with WebSockets and hibernation for a game...

1984 Ford Laser•1/14/25, 2:42 AM

It makes sense to me
According to this page: https://developers.cloudflare.com/durable-objects/best-practices/websockets/#extended-methods the serialized attachment will survive hibernation, I think there is always a chance of losing the data such as in the event of CF maintenance/outages, or a reboot on the overall runtime, or you deploy a new version (I think)
Memory is reliable for 5sec, after that there's zero guarantee, if you know you won't need it after 5 seconds then you'd be fine

All of this is in theory, I'd be interested in how your solution works as I'm also interested in the websocket attachment methods

1984 Ford Laser•1/14/25, 4:05 AM

I'd love if

namespaceId

namespaceId

and

objectId

objectId

were added as dimensions to the

durableObjectsStorageGroups

durableObjectsStorageGroups

in the graphql API, so we could calculate used storage per DO instance

mihaaai•1/14/25, 4:54 PM

I noticed that in a SQLite based Durable Object, any

INSERT

INSERT

operation against the storage returns 2

rowsWritten

rowsWritten

, although I only inserted one row, is this normal behavior or am I missing something?
It's also unlikely that I exceeded any 4k limit for write units, although I'm not sure if it applies to SQLite based DOs, and I don't have any index on the table I'm writing to.

Mmihaaai I noticed that in a SQLite based Durable Object, any `INSERT` operation against ...

James•1/14/25, 4:59 PM

could be the default index for rowid, or a trigger for updated ts updates

JJames could be the default index for rowid, or a trigger for updated ts updates

mihaaai•1/14/25, 5:02 PM

Interesting, is there any way to disable that index on

rowid

rowid

?
I'm trying to optimize pricing since my use case is a write heavy one.

James•1/14/25, 5:03 PM

https://www.sqlite.org/withoutrowid.html

James•1/14/25, 5:04 PM

i wonder if the write is related to updating the meta table for bumping sequences related to rowid, and perhaps rowid doesnt cost in itsself

JJames https://www.sqlite.org/withoutrowid.html

Isaac McFadyen•1/14/25, 5:05 PM

That docs page also says that even without a Row ID you still need a primary key with a unique index.

JJames https://www.sqlite.org/withoutrowid.html

mihaaai•1/14/25, 5:06 PM

It seems to solve the problem, now I get the correct count for the written rows.

James•1/14/25, 5:07 PM

still could be sequence related, since every new row writes to the sqlite_sequence meta table, and if that counts, that kind of sucks

mihaaai•1/14/25, 5:09 PM

Indeed, I noticed that using

WITHOUT ROWID

WITHOUT ROWID

the sequence of written data is not ordered as before

James•1/14/25, 5:10 PM

temps me to switch all my PKs to random guids instead of rowid

UUIDv7 is the standardized version of ULID so I recommend looking for that over an ULID library

dandoen•1/15/25, 1:56 PM

hi folks,

i'm leveraging DO for a websocket w/ hubernation support, but keen to understand how i can pass on context to my "webSocketMessage". i want to simply pass on the user id of the user into the webSocketMessage handler. when it gets hibernated, it seems to get lost. i'll drop my fairly basic code in a thread.

Is there a guide on how I could setup durable objects with nuxt?

KKWAC Is there a guide on how I could setup durable objects with nuxt?

Blind Goose•1/15/25, 4:25 PM

What are you trying to do? My understanding is nuxt is frontend. Durable objects would be handled by your API Server.

KWAC•1/15/25, 4:26 PM

I'm trying to send notification to frontend from backend when stripe payment is successful. I want to use websocket for that

Blind Goose•1/15/25, 4:28 PM

Right but you'd use an API for that. The actual frontend doesn't have direct access to your data store for securiy reasons.

KWAC•1/15/25, 4:28 PM

that's not what im saying

KWAC•1/15/25, 4:28 PM

anyway i edited message to make it more clear

Blind Goose•1/15/25, 4:30 PM

WebSocket server: https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/examples/websockets/

You'd just access durable objects normally through the JavaScript API for workers that way.

i already read the docs

What nuxt specific detail do you need?

KWAC•1/15/25, 4:35 PM

how do I set it up in the api

Blind Goose•1/15/25, 4:38 PM

Youwrite your API and either deploy or run locally locally, and write frontend code that consumes the API. I haven't used nuxt specifically but I found https://krutiepatel.com/blog/30-real-time-with-nuxt-3-a-guide-to-websocket-integration which is pretyy much how to open, close, an receive messages from your websockets server
