Please do not ping community members for non-moderation reasons. Doing so will not solve your issue faster and will make people less likely to want to help you.

Hello everyone. i just saw the new

vite-plugin-cloudflare

vite-plugin-cloudflare

i current use sveltekit with worker assets

now i wonder. does this plugin do anything for me? do i understand correctly that my local dev will just get closer to actual cf infra?

Isaac McFadyen•2/22/25, 2:16 AM

Yes but it will be transformed at build time, and you must use a specific version of Wrangler: https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/runtime-apis/rpc/lifecycle/#how-to-use-the-using-declaration-in-your-worker

Isaac McFadyen•2/22/25, 2:17 AM

This version of Wrangler will transpile using into direct calls to Symbol.dispose(), before running your code or deploying it to Cloudflare.

Question around Rate Limit bindings https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/runtime-apis/bindings/rate-limit/ is there a way to add more than 1 to the rate limiter?
My use case is as follow:

Worker is called and forward to a backend service via HTTP (hosted outside of cloudflare) based on the "ClientID" (in the headers)
The backend calls another API and may get blocked
I know that the send API has a rate limit of around 150/10sec
I want to return 429 to as many requests as possible to not overwhelm the backend

Simple implementation is just to put the same rate limit
More advanced one is to increase the key more than once if I get a 429 from my backend.
I don see a way to do something like:
const { success } = await env.MY_RATE_LIMITER.limit({ key: pathname }, increment_num=20)
Should I just loop 20 times over env.MY_RATE_LIMITER.limit({ key: pathname }) without an await and return the 429?

Define rate limits and interact with them directly from your Cloudflare Worker

danboyle8637•2/22/25, 6:17 PM

In my app I want to send a request to another Worker using my service binding but I need to construct the request as a new request.

However when I build my new request --

new Request()

new Request()

I get a type error when passing the request to the

env.BINDING.fetch(req)

env.BINDING.fetch(req)

because my request is a native fetch request and not a Cloudflare request.

How can I type my new request so I avoid the type error when passing it to the binding?

hi everybody

i built a prototype of how you might get the new bun frontend build tools to work with cloudflare pages:

what fine grain permission do you need to setup a workers route?

Isaac McFadyen•2/24/25, 4:06 AM

^ I didn't know if Zod was Workers-compatible or not but it sounds like it is, and yeah, Zod is IMO the best

Niveth•2/24/25, 9:25 AM

Cloudflare smart routing placements seams incorrect?

I have database hosted on ap-south-1 (BOM) and I have my API deployed on cloudflare workers with smart placement enabled. When I send a request from Delhi, India, I expect the request to be routed to either DEL datacenter or BOM (Preferred) datacenter but for some reason it is getting routed to FRA (Germany) and sometimes it is getting routed to SIN (Singapore).

Because of this my I am having huge latency between my database and api which makes our whole app a lot slower.

Any tips on how to fix this ?

Silvan•2/24/25, 11:52 AM

i really dislike zod so yea. either i could use something like this https://www.npmjs.com/package/@cfworker/json-schema

or i put it in a buildstep i guess

npm

@cfworker/json-schema

A JSON schema validator that will run on Cloudflare workers. Supports drafts 4, 7, 2019-09, and 2020-12.. Latest version: 4.1.1, last published: 24 days ago. Start using @cfworker/json-schema in your project by running

npm i @cfworker/json-schema

npm i @cfworker/json-schema

Niveth•2/24/25, 2:59 PM

Finally solved it, you will have to get cloudflare pro account for a custom domain and set up same custom domain for the worker.

Basically without pro account cloudflare workers are not much useful in India

Looking at gradual deployments, is there a way to specify a minimum version by date?

Seems crazy that there's no such header for this very common use case: deploy workers + app the same time, gradual rollout for older versions, newer versions must use workers past their build date

How to expose the Cloudflare environment form wrangler to the front-end (client) side of a full stack app with Vite?
I need to export the environment name

preview

preview

production

production

(the only environments accepted by wrangler for a pages project), but I don't know how to intercept this at build-time with the Github Integration of a SolidStart app, build with Vite.
Ideally I only need to export a URI for each environment this being the main purpose, the

preview

preview

app needs to make some API request from the client to an endpoint different form the

production

production

, and since Environment Bindings are only exposed from the context object of the workers I can't reference the correct URI for different remote environments

preview

preview

is gonna be my staging while

production

production

is of course the prod.

Ruxorly•2/24/25, 5:23 PM

when will outbound TCP to cloudflare ip ranges be re-enabled?

Ssathoro "useless"

Niveth•2/24/25, 6:11 PM

I think my reaction was bit strong. I wasted one whole day going through community forums to figure out the issue. I really wish cloudflare addressed in their documentation somewhere so we can just buy pro account in advance.

Other than this one particular issue, I had really good experience with all other cloudflare offerings like queues and durable objects.

Brett Willis•2/24/25, 8:01 PM

So stoked about the new Images bindings API! Got some questions though:
In this example, doesn't the

env.IMAGES.info(stream)

env.IMAGES.info(stream)

call consume the

ReadableStream

ReadableStream

and then

env.IMAGES.input(stream)

env.IMAGES.input(stream)

try to reuse the stream that is already consumed? Is there some magic going on there?
Can I call

env.IMAGES.info(stream)

env.IMAGES.info(stream)

on a stream just to verify info and then pipe the same already-consumed (?) stream to R2 without any transformations? Or do I need to tee the stream?
Also how are these transformations priced? Is

.info(stream)

.info(stream)

free? Do I assume that each call to

<some transformations>.output()

<some transformations>.output()

triggers one "unique transformation" quota usage? E.g. 5k free

.output()

.output()

calls per month then $0.5 per 1k thereafter?

Keebs•2/24/25, 8:26 PM

is there a way to deploy pages & workers at the same time? like if I have pages using 5 workers... can I just have it all in one package?

Keebs•2/24/25, 8:27 PM

oh nevermind

coliquet•2/24/25, 8:35 PM

I know this is a really stupid question, but I'm legit so lost. So many forums and documentations mention or are telling me to go to workers and pages but I can't find it for the life of me. I found a guide that says you can find it at your account home but the only thing I see that says workers or pages is "Workers for Platforms"

Ddave Does the cache not work in Cron handlers?

Hard@Work•2/24/25, 9:34 PM

No, since they run under your workers.devworkers.dev, which has Cache disabled

HHard@Work No, since they run under your `workers.dev`, which has Cache disabled

This new Images binding looks great! Definitely will simplify multiple parts of my graphics workflow

One question, is there a limit to the number of .draw().draw() commands that can be done in a single request? Through the existing draw: []draw: [] method, I have been limited to ~70 layers due to 16KB header limit, hoping this will be able to get around that but not sure if the binding is just doing a fetch()fetch() underneath

Isaac McFadyen•2/24/25, 11:14 PM

Most bindings are doing fetches underneath, but whether it uses the same format (passed in the header) will depend on the implementation.

1984 Ford Laser•2/24/25, 11:15 PM

All good, I have a batching method that works fine (draw 25 layers, save result, draw next 25 layers on saved result), but this should still simplify that setup a lot
