I doubt that, since your normal database would have to start up as well when first queried.

Also, this database has zero writes occurring, it's solely just reads

I have metrics to prove it

Zack•4/11/25, 10:31 AM

It may not be the startups causing the problem, but we didn't have these problems when running 6 seperate instances

Zack•4/11/25, 10:32 AM

Lets see what the team find when they take a look into it

When did you first enable replication for your database?

Zack•4/11/25, 10:34 AM

We have 7 databases, all with the same data. 6 to have one for each region, and the 7th in preperation for read replicas. I turned read replicas on yesterday after the release, and toggled it a couple times to see if that fixed the behaviour.

Zack•4/11/25, 10:34 AM

This instance primary is based in WEUR

Zack•4/11/25, 10:35 AM

This also gives us the ability to switch between the two setups easily with just a worker rollback

Zack•4/11/25, 10:38 AM

But yea, just reverted back to our old setup now, and immediately we return to no errors and latencies return back to normal ranges. Not a single request >2 seconds

The latency spikes you see is probably because those fail. Anyway, we will check the errors and see what's going on with your database.

With the read replicas being a thing, is it possible for things like the export to not lock up the db?

Or is that not possible due to how the infrastructure is setup?

gruntlord6•4/11/25, 12:29 PM

I know we can work around it by copying to a staging database first but I figured I'd ask

gruntlord6•4/11/25, 1:20 PM

Can't you just revert?

Brayden•4/11/25, 1:23 PM

@Roopendra I've mentioned this to the team just an FYI – sorry you're experiencing this!

Brayden•4/11/25, 1:24 PM

Oh good! Is your database back up now?

lambrospetrouOP•4/11/25, 1:24 PM

That's the plan, but not yet. Locking is still happening at the moment.

lambrospetrouOP•4/11/25, 1:28 PM

FYI, disabling replicas is not instant. If replicas are created and process some of your queries, it can take a few hours for them to stop processing queries and completely disappear.

Also, if the UI is slow sometimes, you can use the PATCH API directly to manage read replication: https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/resources/d1/subresources/database/methods/edit/

The read replication mode for the database. Use 'auto' to create replicas and allow D1 automatically place them around the world, or 'disabled' to not use any database replicas (it can take a few hours for all replicas to be deleted).

Also, as I mentioned yesterday our recommendation is to first try it in your staging databases or test environments and once verified that it works for your case enable it in production.

In general I would not use a beta in prodution unless I have verified its working with test projects

gruntlord6•4/11/25, 1:46 PM

I know its not helpful after the fact, but figured I would mention that

RRoopendra Yeah, my fault.

Brayden•4/11/25, 1:50 PM

I'm adding a beta label to the UI to make it more clear. We should have mentioned it's still in beta in our UI as well.

gruntlord6•4/11/25, 1:59 PM

yea, it was clear in the announcement from what I recall but UI would be nice for those who don't read that diretcly or missed that part

RRoopendra Looks like it came back up again. Thank you for your help!

lambrospetrouOP•4/11/25, 2:15 PM

@Roopendra FYI, we disabled replication for your database altogether for now, so even if you enable it replicas won't be created. We will remove the switch on Monday, so that you can manage it again yourself.

Milan•4/11/25, 2:27 PM

In the meantime though it would be a good idea to turn replication off for that DB if you haven't already @Roopendra

Nikolas•4/11/25, 5:06 PM

Hello, we have the exact same issue. Queries fail, dashboard fails, can't turn off replication even with the API, it returns this

{"errors":[{"code":7500,"message":"internal error; reference = e_PVSMDp_a7bf1e15234b4277b9f32a19516fdc30"}],"success":false,"messages":[],"result":null}

{"errors":[{"code":7500,"message":"internal error; reference = e_PVSMDp_a7bf1e15234b4277b9f32a19516fdc30"}],"success":false,"messages":[],"result":null}

the database id is 943219ad-705a-4a47-a87d-9b56e1b8e7ea
Thank you

Also I was wondering why nothing is mentioned in cloudflarestatus.com
