As always it depends on volume. If you have a few hundred requests per second then it should be fine either way.
Once you have thousands per second per DO it's where you need to start sharding more. There is no "general pattern" that works for everywhere. Different scales need different solutions. And obviously complexity scales as well.
I just mentioned that case because for example if something like Prime Video designed 1 DO per show, then at that scale it wouldn't work. If a local radio station did it, probably all is fine.

Gotcha, I think I can start with the basic solution(to avoid pre-mature optimization since 500 rps is good enough for now) and then introduce sharding. Thanks

You can check out https://github.com/outerbase/starbasedb which has some prebuilt components that get deployed with the DO including a visual SQL & table editor. You can also connect your DO then to outerbase.com and use the tools there to visualize and modify your data too.

Larry•2/13/25, 8:36 PM

I thought DOs were charged on clock-time, not CPU time. Regarless, @halftome, SSE is not a good choice. DOs can be stood up and torn down any time. Same applies for Workers/Page . Since the browser can't directly access DO (except through a WebSocket connection that was previously made via a Worker), you would need to keep both hops open continuously. That's inneficient from both a technical as well as financial perspective. As @egg said, you want websocket hibernation.

You need to bind your existing DO to a StarbaseDB Worker (clone this & update the wrangler.toml to point to your DO and deploy it to CF – https://github.com/outerbase/starbasedb) then you can connect to Outerbase for example with the "Starbase" option.

That's good to know. So by enabling sqlite for the DO it no longer uses the KV and it's all sqlite? So the rules for optimizing KV with in-memory caching and skipping await for puts to rely on the output gate would no longer apply and everything is synchronous? And does usage/pricing switch over to the sqlite?

The KV API is the same, so still async and I suggest keep your awaits to get good IDE intellisense, regardless how the underlying storage works.

Mostly depends on the underlying Cloudflare infrastructure. It's possible to move, and they do move over periods of time. Still within the same region (location hint) though. Also, this is transparent to you and your code.

I get some strange leakage between tests...

I have a test that succeeds if other tests are commented out, or if it's anywhere but the first test to run. It will also succeed on live reload.

It fails because

const ran = await runDurableObjectAlarm(stub); expect(ran).toBe(true);

const ran = await runDurableObjectAlarm(stub); expect(ran).toBe(true);

const ran = await runDurableObjectAlarm(stub); expect(ran).toBe(true);

const ran = await runDurableObjectAlarm(stub); expect(ran).toBe(true);// expects true but is false

    it("adds jobs and schedules an alarm", async () => {
      const result = await runInDurableObject(stub, async (instance, state) => {
        return await instance.addJobs([
          { url: "https://example.com" },
          { url: "https://example.org" },
        ]);
      });
      expect(result).toBe("Jobs added");

      // Run the alarm (which calls processQueue & processTimeouts)
      const ran = await runDurableObjectAlarm(stub);
      expect(ran).toBe(true);

      const status = await runInDurableObject(stub, async (instance) => {
        return await instance.getStatus();
      });
      expect(status).toEqual([{ status: "pending", count: 2 }]);
    });

      });

    });

The add jobs instance call simply inserts some records and sets an alarm

I know there's this in the docs

Durable Object alarms are not reset between test runs and do not respect isolated storage. Ensure you delete or run all alarms with runDurableObjectAlarm() scheduled in each test before finishing the test.

But I believe my afterEach should cover this

  afterEach(async () => {
    // Clear any pending alarms between tests.
    await runInDurableObject(stub, async (_instance, state) => {
      await state.storage.deleteAlarm();
    });
    vi.restoreAllMocks();
  });

    // Clear any pending alarms between tests.
    await runInDurableObject(stub, async (_instance, state) => {
      await state.storage.deleteAlarm();
    });
    vi.restoreAllMocks();
  });

If I have a Worker that iterates over a list of strings, gets a stub for each string, then calls

this.state.getWebSockets

this.state.getWebSockets

I had something similar happen to me and the way I was able to fix it was by trying different combinations of isolated storage and single worker configs that made sense for my type of tests:

I also found that I was placing these params on the wrong object in my vitest config file so these params weren’t working until I fixed that (which took me freaking days to figure out it was so frustrating

DO-Compute Billing Time Vs Workers Compute Billing Time

AIM : To understand DO Compute billing.
(PLEASE NOTE : i am aware that DO billing is based on Wall Clock time while Workers billing is based on CPU time)

Simple Use-case : Make an entry in Workers-KV (key : "hello", value "world" )

IF, Workers consumes 10ms (and hence billing time = 10ms) for above simple Use-case, is it "FAIRLY ACCURATE" to assume that the DO will also consume 10ms (and hence billing time = 10ms) for the same Use-case.

Will the DO billing charge for cold-starts etc ?

If you are using #vitest-integration-beta, there's an `isolatedStorage` option, which IIRC is on by
