Anyone know if we could get a DO’s load from an internal API as detailed in the queues article (highlighted above). Or is this something that was custom-built?

Fernando Barroso•3/6/25, 1:55 AM

(By load I mean requests per second, I know we could get database size using the sql storage API)

That is something they would have done in the DO's custom code I imagine, and not something just available to all DOs created

why does it sometimes take ~500ms to get a stub even with frequent traffic to it?

I

Iggy•3/6/25, 5:19 PM

it looks like it's because of this: https://github.com/cloudflare/workers-sdk/issues/2700. are there any workarounds or do you just have to accept ~500ms cold starts?

Someone asked me the other day, and now I’m curious, what’s the max number of concurrent WebSocket connections that a DO can have? Assuming it’s using hibernation, and to keep it simple let’s say each message sent is just relayed to all connected clients so nothing complex or computationally-heavy.

A

Ashley•3/8/25, 10:13 AM

My guess was that it’s effectively unlimited, but it’s “gated” by the fact it’s single-threaded so it can only process so much (e.g. if you had 100,000 clients, and they are all sending messages, there’s likely no way the single thread can process and broadcast all these messages without falling behind)

That's a hard limit, but of course it depends on how much memory your application is using

lambrospetrou•3/13/25, 6:52 PM

No numbers are advertised, but all writes are acknowledged by a quorum from five followers before returning to your worker. See details in https://blog.cloudflare.com/sqlite-in-durable-objects/

To solve this problem, we take advantage of our global network. Every time SQLite commits a transaction, SRS will immediately forward the change log to five "follower" machines across our network. Once at least three of these followers respond that they have received the change, SRS informs the application that the write is confirmed. (As discussed earlier, the write confirmation opens the Durable Object's "output gate", unblocking network communications to the rest of the world.)

When a follower receives a change, it temporarily stores it in a buffer on local disk, and then awaits further instructions. Later on, once SRS has successfully uploaded the change to object storage as part of a batch, it informs each follower that the change has been persisted. At that point, the follower can simply delete the change from its buffer.
[...]
Each of a database's five followers is located in a different physical data center. Cloudflare's network consists of hundreds of data centers around the world, which means it is always easy for us to find four other data centers nearby any Durable Object (in addition to the one it is running in). In order for a confirmed write to be lost, then, at least four different machines in at least three different physical buildings would have to fail simultaneously (three of the five followers, plus the Durable Object's host machine). Of course, anything can happen, but this is exceedingly unlikely.

M

Milan•3/13/25, 8:34 PM

Generally it should be pretty likely it goes back to the same machine, unless that machine becomes unhealthy (in which case you wouldn't even want it to be scheduled there again, a cold start is preferable to no start!)

It's really tricky to say how often individual DOs suffer from infra issues:
1. not all PoPs are the same,
2. you could have some DOs in a namespace have nearly perfect availability over some period, and then a handful with terrible availability (ex. if they only do 10 requests in a month, but all 10 were during an incident, or when a PoP was under a lot of load and we were doing maintenance so there were fewer resources than normal, etc)

Not that any of this has any bearing on durability/application correctness

100%, with it being possible to apply for a credit for the amount of time that was lost X your average usage. Usually, large platform downtimes are measured in minutes, not hours, so even if there is possibility for a credit, it wouldn't even be that much

Because the service isn't different for Enterprise versus non-Enterprise, the uptime for customers on SLA and not on SLA is likely to be identical. But yes, Enterprise customers have 100% uptime SLAs, if they request it.
