Hey. Pages is still supported but longer term we want to get to a point where every new application can be built on Workers

Is it possible to setup a subdomain for cloudflare workers without either

Setup the apex domain within cloudflare
Pay 250 dollar a month to setup a subdomain zone

Currently this is possible for cloudflare pages (i.e. just point the subdomain to cloudflare pages).

If not, is it planned in order to have feature parity between cloudflare workers & pages?

Hi there! I'm trying to build a worker that does realtime audio "splicing" from component mp3s. Essentially based on an audio file layout, grab the files from r2, remove header info and splice the mp3 audio data together and stream.

I've succeeded in building this. But now I'm running into a problem that seems maybe unsolvable: clients expect to be able to issue range requests in a header asking for specific bytes in the audio (I'd like to listen starting at 10:00 in...).

What I'd ideally like is that an initial request will be cached entirely, and then the cdn would take over to respond to the range request with a proper 206 response and the bits. There doesn't seem to be a way to do this.

If I respond with a 206 from the worker, it can't be cached
If I respond with a 200 with the whole file, the client doesn't get what it asked for

Any ideas?

You would need to implement this cache slicing logic in your Worker. Worker responses can’t be cached, so requests will always be billed. Note however that they can interact with the Cache API as part of their handling of a request

jsonperl•3/26/25, 3:01 PM

The other huge gotcha here is that anything besides directly streaming from r2 out to the client will quickly surpass the memory limits of a worker. Audio is large, but the streaming solution built works well as it just streams it through without holding much in memory.

Any caching of the whole thing (or writing out to r2 for a "tempfile") is going to need it loaded in memory, which cannot work.

RIP i just wasted an entire day going down the websockets rabbit hole only to realise discord has a cloudflare ban so i can't use workers with DO for their gateway api :(:(

M

Mia•3/26/25, 10:42 PM

they just 401 when a new connection attempt originates from a worker ip

M

Mia•3/26/25, 10:42 PM

and from what ive read the only way around this is with Aegis but that's enterprise only

M

Mia•3/26/25, 10:43 PM

proxy policies would be cool on a per-worker basis

Mia•3/26/25, 10:43 PM

im fine hosting a proxy on my own server just to get around the discord cloudflare ban :\

Mia•3/26/25, 10:44 PM

although that will add even more layers of complexity and latency for the traffic so not optimal

I guess it’s not a huge waste of time cause I did learn a ton about workers, hono, durable objects and websockets… it just sucks i can’t do the thing i set out to do after all that time

https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/platform/limits/#simultaneous-open-connections

Simultaneous open connections

You can open up to six connections simultaneously, for each invocation of your Worker. The connections opened by the following API calls all count toward this limit:

- the fetch() method of the Fetch API.

- the fetch() method of the Fetch API.

I do not quite understand this part, it said that fetch() calls all count toward the concurrent request limit.

So, if I have a code below

const results = await Promise.all([
  fetch(url1),
  fetch(url2),
  fetch(url3),
  fetch(url4),
  fetch(url5),
  fetch(url6),
  fetch(url7), // Exceeds the limit of 6
]);

const results = await Promise.all([
  fetch(url1),
  fetch(url2),
  fetch(url3),
  fetch(url4),
  fetch(url5),
  fetch(url6),
  fetch(url7), // Exceeds the limit of 6
]);

const results = await Promise.all([
  fetch(url1),
  fetch(url2),
  fetch(url3),
  fetch(url4),
  fetch(url5),
  fetch(url6),
  fetch(url7), // Exceeds the limit of 6
]);

const results = await Promise.all([
  fetch(url1),
  fetch(url2),
  fetch(url3),
  fetch(url4),
  fetch(url5),
  fetch(url6),
  fetch(url7), // Exceeds the limit of 6
]);

Is the seventh call is going to be delayed (?) or something? I'm not a native english speaker so 99% I have misunderstood the docs here. Just want to confirm here

P

Peps•3/27/25, 1:53 AM

correct, the seventh call will be slightly delayed until one of those other 6 fetches are done

roma•3/27/25, 1:54 AM

Ahh wow interesting, Thank you! I think I'm going to make batch (of six) call then just to make sure everything okay. Thanks!

most you can do is set usage alerts for specific amount of requests/cpu time

is a "same zone subrequest"

C

Chaika•3/27/25, 2:10 PM

if you're doing that there's tons of special handling on it, like bypassing other workers, etc. --remote dev is going to come from an entirely different context
maybe it helps more to reframe it: The "context", in this context, is the zone/website the worker is running on, not per account or anything like that
