you have way more experience with workers/pages, do you think moving django social bookmarking site built via in 2016 from pinax/django to a cloudflare site is a good idea, or will it cost a lot more to host in the long run and i should just update the django and python code and move it to a new server on say digital ocean

I have no experience of Django I’m afraid

Svetle is a pretty easy framework to pick up though, I would say. And when using AI, just treat it as a standard Svetle app, for the most part that will work as the Cloudflare Pages adapter handles translation from Svetle -> Cloudflare. Only caveat will be if you use bindings to connect to databases and stuff on Cloudflare,

i have a good amount of expeirence on a past project with workers and D1/KV but haven;t been keeping up with the new stuff you just linked me too. In the past workers project it was using kv-asset-handler , is https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/static-assets/ replacing that for some things?

Ashley•3/3/25, 7:38 PM

I believe so, yes. Static Asset Workers effectively store the assets in KV under the hood. I think using Pages is fine for what it’s worth, considering Static Asset Workers are in beta, and there’s probably a bajillion sites using Pages, so they aren’t just going to suddenly kill it (well, I would be very shocked

)

Ashley•3/3/25, 8:32 PM

It’s pretty simple to setup, docs are linked above - effectively you designate a folder as containing your static assets, and some config in wrangler.toml, and any request to a path matching a static asset will be served

and that is safe to say will be the future moving forward?

Ashley•3/3/25, 8:35 PM

Yes, Pages & Workers are merging gradually, and Static Asset Workers are effectively going to replace Pages in the long run, in short

Use a tunnel, put it on a subdomain, and then add a firewall that blocks all requests not from a Worker on your zone: https://developers.cloudflare.com/ruleset-engine/rules-language/fields/reference/cf.worker.upstream_zone/

Silvan•3/4/25, 1:09 AM

that would only appear if my server side (worker) is requesting the API tho right?
in my case the browser also requests that api endpoint. maybe mTLS is actually what im looking for?

Peps•3/4/25, 1:10 AM

yep it would only appear if the request comes for a worker, which could be yours or someone else's

Silvan•3/4/25, 1:12 AM

Okay good to know i will definitely need this for another project. But in this case i guess its fine to just allow access to it

1984 Ford Laser•3/4/25, 10:00 AM

Will there ever be an option for higher memory Workers?

I know CF is always upgrading their servers but do those performance upgrades make their way to V8 isolates in a meaningful way? Does 1ms of CPU time now do markedly more work now than 1ms of CPU time 3 years ago?

Just some general thoughts I was having. I have reformatted to correctly match my thinking of those being two thoughts separate to each other

Ashley•3/4/25, 11:15 AM

I’d say it’s more likely the upcoming container product will allow you to have more / tune memory rather than Workers raising memory, but no info yet on whether that will be possible afaik

Silvan•3/4/25, 12:03 PM

Just double checking. It has been mentioned that worker assets are cached even tho its not shown. Means even images having

public, max-age=0, must-revalidate

public, max-age=0, must-revalidate

is fine right?

Silvan•3/4/25, 12:51 PM

i really cant get Build Environment variables to work when i put them in my wrangler config. i usually set them in the dashboard but id like to have some default ones in there like node_version. i tried

and

but neither will show up in the build details

Aster•3/4/25, 3:05 PM

Hey, I am using cloudflare workers and I noticed my workers are getting requests for a bunch of routes like

/js/.env

/js/.env

/aws.yml

/aws.yml

/config/settings.prod

/config/settings.prod

, etc.

I do use the WAF managed rules: Cloudflare Managed Ruleset, Cloudflare OWASP Core Ruleset, and
Cloudflare Leaked credentials Check

Do you know how I can make sure cloudflare blocks these suspicious requests?

Peps•3/4/25, 3:12 PM

every public site will get random crawlers/bots that will hit all types of endpoints/paths to see if they can dig something up

Peps•3/4/25, 3:12 PM

some of the managed ruleset WAF rules cover the very common ones, but not necessarily all possibilities out there

Aster•3/4/25, 3:21 PM

I would expect the CF WAF to block .env requests

Aster•3/4/25, 3:23 PM

We have enterprise plan, and we use our own domain

Aster•3/4/25, 3:23 PM

Aster•3/4/25, 3:24 PM

That's why I'm wondering what I am missing

Aster•3/4/25, 3:24 PM

cause /config/settings.prod why not let it slip, but

**/.env

**/.env

should be blocked all the time

Aster•3/4/25, 3:25 PM

Actually, the core ruleset is not enabled? It's just logging

Aster•3/4/25, 3:32 PM

Actually the rules are blocking a ton of things

What im more confused about now is how i pass the ctx.waitUntil to a function

i ran into the classic TypeError: Illegal invocation: function called with incorrect this referenceTypeError: Illegal invocation: function called with incorrect this reference first. now when i pass down the entire platform into the function waitUntil ends up undefined (its available where im trying to pass it to the function)

do i really need apply/call in that situtation?
