Yeah, my Cloudflare buildout isn't live. The live product is on Google's Firestore, but DOs will be a lot better. A rate limiter is smart. That will definitely help.

I know DO SQLite is in beta. Has this issue been considered by the DO team? Or is it really a non-issue because of how cheap mostly-empty SQLite files would be?

1984 Ford LaserOP•1/17/25, 12:23 AM

Personally I am still using the KV backend as I have zero experience with SQL and much prefer a document based storage system, which I can mostly replicate with KV. At some point I will move to SQL as it seems to be considerably cheaper, and will be able to handle more complex data setups/relationships. I am using WebSockets, with frequent writes to storage, so SQL makes much more sense
My understanding is that its a non-issue, for that reason and probably others. Any decently large commercial product would have some sort of anti abuse system in place, what that looks like would be entirely dependant on your needs and capabilities. People in here can always provide their input, its interesting seeing how others put things together

I'm working on a very simple test on my worker. (i'll link the code below). What i'm confused about, is what should the URL be for the worker in my test? It's example.com in the docs and that doesn't work, I tried using the actual domains i'm deploying on as well as localhost and none worked

L

lambrospetrou•1/17/25, 8:53 AM

then if a hacker were to spam my service with a bunch of GET /documents/XXXXX calls trying to find a valid document, that every one of those invalid GETs would create a new DO that wouldn't be deleted because the SQLite database would be created simply by the act of accessing it, even if it returns a 404. Is that right?

My own solution to that is to only run the migrations when they are needed.
In the constructor I do all the in-memory initializations, and read from the storage to see if there is any state already to load in-memory.
The actual SQL table creation (i.e. migrations) are ran when I actually want to access the storage with a valid request. The migrations keep in-memory state when applied, and also in storage, so it's a no-op once they run and has zero cost to check them.

See example in https://github.com/lambrospetrou/rediflare/blob/main/src/durable-objects.ts#L103 and https://github.com/lambrospetrou/tiddlyflare/blob/main/src/durable-objects.ts#L93

So, these spam requests will get to your DO and you can reject them without writing.

But, as others have said it's better to reject them earlier, with rate limiting or auth, etc.

Hello! I just got this error on a deploy:

Cannot apply --delete-class migration to class 'FirebaseCache' without also removing the binding that references it [code: 10061]

The DurableObjects documentation seems pretty clear:

When deleting a migration using npx wrangler deploy --delete-class <ClassName>, you may encounter this error: "Cannot apply --delete-class migration to class <ClassName> without also removing the binding that references it". You should remove the corresponding binding under [durable_objects] in wrangler.toml before attempting to apply --delete-class again.

The issue is that there already aren't any bindings to the DurableObject I'm removing + it's not referenced anywhere in the entire codebase. In fact, running CMD+F on the entire project just shows the expected two instances in my DO migrations:

[[migrations]]
tag = "v1"
new_classes = ["Job"]

new_classes = ["FirebaseCache"]

Is the deployed worker using that class though still, or did you deploy without it at least once? Not sure if it checks the deployed worker and complains due to that.

I meant to deploy without that class being a binding on any worker, so that it's not actually used when you try to delete it. Migrations I believe should always exist in your wrangler, like an immutable history of sorts.

James•1/17/25, 4:02 PM

The lifecycle of the db tables on a DO are entirely in your control. There is no 'hole'.

In my case, I create a DO for each user, which includes social auth (behind a captcha as well). I manage a registry of users in a central DB, not the DO. The registry contains stub ID for each DO I manage. This part isn't necessary, but it's helpful. When a new DO is created, I run the initial migrations needed to set it up. The gate to avoid abuse in my case is that random sessions / bots can't create users so easily with a single URL. They have to create an account.

When a user makes a request against the DO, thier session cookie is part of how I map them back to their DO for subsequent requests.

There's really nothing that says a DO is tightly coupled to DB tables just because you instantiated the stub. There are many ways you can ensure the tables exist before querying them.

James•1/17/25, 4:14 PM

what do you mean by zero cost to check them?

let's say I have 25 migrations run, and my DO sees intermittent traffic daily, but not enough to keep from being evicted all the time, if I check in the constructor for migrations from storage, even saving it in memory, I'm potentially adding 25 row reads to a high percentage of DO requests. Maybe I only read 5-10 rows of business data per request, my migration reads end up being more than half of my real app reads.

If you see my SQLSchemaMigrations helper, I don't need to read any rows, except 1 integer at constructor time. It tracks up to which migration last succeeded, so next time, if no new migrations exist it doesn't do anything.

lambrospetrou•1/17/25, 4:24 PM

what do you mean? It's not an assumption, they did succeed up to X otherwise the counter stored wouldn't be X.
if you go and modify specific migrations after they already ran once, that's on you.

J

James•1/17/25, 4:27 PM

right, its an edge case

in my case, i prefer to explicitly check for all migrations by name, but I don't check for or run migrations on every init or request, I have a failsafe which runs migratoins on schema errors, as well as a migration script to propagate migrations globally on demand or trigger then on next run. I figure migrations themselves are not something I want my DOs processing most of the time

Make creating a document an explicit command in your application, and you get to rate limit it, cap it etc, e.g. give users 100 documents limit, force them to delete the empty documents they used before

Specifically for Durable Object classes with SQLite storage backend, KV operations which were previously asynchronous (for example, get, put, delete, deleteAll, list) are synchronous, even though they return promises. These methods will have completed their operations before they return the promise.
