Running on the same machine as sqlite, IS literally the SQLite DOs. If that's what your usecase needs, to intermix logic with lots of back and forth to the database, then SQLite DOs are more suitable than D1, right now at least.

DOs only execute a request at a time. Each time you do async IO, then another request is scheduled until the IO is ready.

Does a DO SQLite db not lock the entire database too though?

We've all been taught to believe that dbs should be highly parallel and that "lock"ing is bad, but keep in mind a few things:

A DO's SQLite is not just running in the same datacenter, not just running on the same machine, but running in the same thread as your JavaScript code. There are not even task switching costs. For cache hits, it has essentially no performance difference from accessing instance member data. For cache misses, there is a disk round-trip to a fast local SSD so not much worse.
This is a fundamentally different paradigm. It emphasizes: 1) transactional consistency with requests and compute intermixed. Think of your DO JavaScript as stored procedures; 2) DX by making it much easier to reason about and avoid race conditions.
You scale DO-based architectures by having more DOs, and thus more DBs. This is conceptually similar to sharding in a database except that you have to take care of routing to the correct shard yourself.
Parallizing reads with an eventual but read-your-own writes model is coming soon for D1. I also have heard that it'll come for DOs either at the same time or soon after since D1 is built on DOs.

Indexes enable D1 to improve query performance over the indexed columns for common (popular) queries by reducing the amount of data (number of rows) the database has to scan when running a query.

a super naive index like:
CREATE INDEX idx_magnetograms_timestamp ON magnetograms(timestamp)CREATE INDEX idx_magnetograms_timestamp ON magnetograms(timestamp)
would massively help that delete query (the trade-off for indexes is storage space - the DB needs to store that data somewhere to make it faster)

Max (@rozenmd)•1/20/25, 10:50 AM

Yeah - a pretty common index I tend to add is for foreign keys

so like, say you have a table of sensorssensors and another table of datadata, where data stores sensor_idsensor_id, an index on that column speeds up queries like SELECT * FROM data WHERE sensor_id = ?SELECT * FROM data WHERE sensor_id = ?

if you also store a timestamp in that table you might want to index against that too so filtering by date is fast, so it'd be like

CREATE INDEX idx_data_sensor_id_timestamp_desc ON data(sensor_id, timestamp DESC)CREATE INDEX idx_data_sensor_id_timestamp_desc ON data(sensor_id, timestamp DESC)

lambrospetrouOP•1/20/25, 11:37 AM

It's 10x slower than with using a worker (for now), so for internal tools it's fine, but actual use-cases in production where you expected latencies around 50-200ms, it won't happen. So, do it with the right expectations.

Max (@rozenmd)•1/20/25, 11:39 AM

in short, if performance matters to you, put a Worker up and call it from Java: https://github.com/elithrar/http-api-d1-example

I am aware of the security implications, and they are handled by me manually adding the acc and DB ids as well as the token on a config page and storing them in local storage. This is just a personal app meant to sit behind CF ZeroTrust.

I will just set up the proxy. I think the lack of CORS headers should be either documented or be configurable like with R2.
