Did Workers CI build parallelization get increased? Not complaining at all, it used to be one at a time and now it seems like there are many parallels workers that can build at once. WAY faster and so helpful :10000:

Starting in April Workers Paid started paying for the builds, and also got the extra parallelization which was slated for the plan

Not really a solution to your exact question, but imo just go with AWS SES.

The DX of Secrets is not ideal. The documentation says for local development put the secret in .dev.vars but then the binding become a string while in production mode it is a SecretsStoreSecret object with an async get() method .. I sort of expected to get a SecretsStoreSecret in both cases with a stub for local mode that takes the secret from an environment variable.

st3fan•4/19/25, 1:32 AM

Even better, I'd like my secrets to come from 1Password. So ideally I run

op run -- wrangler dev

op run -- wrangler dev

and it will pickup the local secrets from environment variables that have 1Password Refs in them (

op://Private/Vault/GitHub/token

op://Private/Vault/GitHub/token

)

st3fan•4/19/25, 1:33 AM

Does CF monitor this Discord? Or is there a better place where I could write a story about this.

st3fan•4/19/25, 1:53 AM

Hmm it works with

wrangler dev --remote

wrangler dev --remote

.. the binding is a

SecretsStoreSecret

SecretsStoreSecret

and it gets the value from the real secret store. I'm confused how this works. Should this work? Doesn't this basically give everyone on the team access to the secrets? Just

console.log()

console.log()

them in your local env?

st3fan•4/19/25, 2:18 AM

A GitHub app private key is too long to fit in the secret store .. whomp whomp .. not sure what to do now,

I filled in this form with some thoughts

mr.niko.la•4/19/25, 6:44 AM

"I have a Cloudflare domain with a CF Pages frontend that connects to my backend via a Cloudflare tunnel. However, my CORS settings are being bypassed.

I've tried the following without success:

No Pages rules or transform rules are active
Purged cache completely
Set development mode on Pages to bypass caching

Despite these efforts, requests are still only being allowed from a specific subdomain origin.

Any suggestions on how to properly configure CORS for my setup?"

Or how to disable cf pages Cors and let my backend handle it ?

Is there some guidance on how to split up or combine endpoints in workers? I have a small API and a webhook - is it common to combine it all in a single worker? Or is it better to split it up in multiple? Sorry I know this is a vague question. New to serverless design patterns.

st3fan•4/19/25, 1:35 PM

ChatGPT actually gave some good tips ...

When to keep multiple endpoints in a single worker:
• You want shared logic, like auth, middleware, routing, or common utility functions.
• You want faster cold starts (Cloudflare Workers are fast, but more workers = more potential cold starts).
• You’re trying to simplify deployment, versioning, and observability.
• Your app is a cohesive unit, like a backend API or a website.

When to split into separate workers:
• You have very different workloads (e.g., image resizing vs. data API).
• You want to enforce stricter limits or security boundaries (e.g., public vs internal APIs).
• You’re deploying to different teams or lifecycles (e.g., teams own different services).
• You hit size/dependency limits (1MB per Worker code bundle).
• You want to deploy independently and reduce blast radius of changes.

plgingras88•4/19/25, 3:21 PM

Following the announcement of the beta worker container, it seems like we'll be able to select an instance type, with vcpu, etc. Do we have an idea of what these instance types may look like ? Will these be based on AWS EC2, etc. Otherly said, can we expect some power, like 4x vCPU of 3-4Ghz with 4-8Gb or ram ?

FYI it's wrong about the size limit, that was changed to 10MB now for paid plans. 3MB on free though.

st3fan•4/19/25, 5:10 PM

Maybe this is a bug in the UI then? I can’t show now but it clearly said “validation failed max size is 1024” for me

ItsWendell•4/19/25, 5:20 PM

I keep hitting 524 when I work with the Google Vertex Gemini 2.5 Flash API's, it's doing some complex thinking work and function / tool calling to process documents into a different format in multiple steps. I use workflows do handle this. The problem is that even though I use streaming, the tool call itself / thinking on the gemini-side might take over 100 seconds occasionally. That will trigger a 524 error because of Cloudflare's connection limits if I understand correctly. I already use SSE APIs, but since I force a complex function call for the AI to fill in as it's initial step, sometimes no bytes are sent within those first 100 seconds.

https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/reference/connection-limits/#configurable-limits

But it looks like this is only configurable through Enterprise accounts, are there any clever work-arounds?

Isaac McFadyen•4/19/25, 5:57 PM

This is for a secret, not a Worker. You discussed splitting Workers above because of the size limit but they're completely different products

Isaac McFadyen•4/19/25, 5:57 PM

The Worker itself can be 3MB on Free and 10MB on Paid plans.

Isaac McFadyen•4/19/25, 5:57 PM

The secrets in the Worker can be max 1KB (secret = encrypted env var, basically)

st3fan•4/19/25, 6:22 PM

Ah ok I misunderstood. The worker size was never a problem for me. I don'tt hink I said anything about that.

Ashley•4/19/25, 7:42 PM

No, in short. Invocations are rapidly killed, it’s not really like Lambda where it may stick around for a while.

Alternatively, you can use the (free) cache API: https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/runtime-apis/cache/

Ah I was thinking of keeping a Hono router around. To save CPU time for setup.

Sst3fan Ah I was thinking of keeping a Hono router around. To save CPU time for setup.

Isaac McFadyen•4/19/25, 7:49 PM

The way hono is designed, you keep the router in the global scope anyway - it's only initialized once at startup.

Isaac McFadyen•4/19/25, 7:50 PM

i.e. https://hono.dev/docs/getting-started/cloudflare-workers

const app = new Hono()

export default app;

const app = new Hono()

export default app;

st3fan•4/19/25, 7:50 PM

Yes but if I understand correctly it would be initialized for every http request handled?

Sst3fan Yes but if I understand correctly it would be initialized for every http request...

Isaac McFadyen•4/19/25, 7:50 PM

Nope, because anything outside of the

fetch

fetch

handler (which Hono handles for you, in that example) is "global"

st3fan•4/19/25, 7:51 PM

That contradicts what @Ashley said earlier?

st3fan•4/19/25, 7:54 PM

I can add some logging to find out

Ashley•4/19/25, 7:58 PM

I’ve not used Hono tons, but I figured you wanted to cache something that was mutable which definitely won’t work typically.

Ashley•4/19/25, 7:58 PM

A given isolate has its own scope, but isolates are not necessarily long-lived. An isolate may be spun down and evicted for a number of reasons
Because of this, it is generally advised that you not store mutable state in your global scope unless you have accounted for this contingen

Hono, a GitHub api client, a webhook router. I think j it is all stateless. Thanks that is a good document!

st3fan•4/19/25, 8:10 PM

Yeah sounds like no guarantees but may shave some milliseconds off requests if I keep things around.

Walshy•4/19/25, 9:28 PM

Yeah if you re-use the isolate, what you put in global scope still exists. It can be a way to re-use across requests but there's no guarantee any 2 requests will hit the same isolate.

vg•4/20/25, 8:48 AM

For deploying a static Angular site, is it recommended to use Workers Static or Pages?

Walshy•4/20/25, 11:04 AM

?pages

SuperHelpflare•4/20/25, 11:04 AM

As announced during Developer Week, Cloudflare recommends all new projects use Workers Assets. Cloudflare Pages will continue to be supported, but, going forward, all of our investment, optimizations, and feature work will be dedicated to improving Workers. If there is something missing that you think Workers needs, please send it in #workers-and-pages-feature-suggestions

st3fan•4/20/25, 3:30 PM

I have a thing running!

st3fan•4/20/25, 3:32 PM

But I have two "Uncaught exception" errors. I found those back in the logs and they are both "The script will never generate a response." errors with a http status 500. But there are no stack traces anywhere. What should I do to see those? (Assuming the platform catches them - I don't have any exception handlers because I wanted to see it from the platform side first)

st3fan•4/20/25, 3:42 PM

wrangler tail

wrangler tail

also tells me Exception ThrownException Thrown but no details other than Error: The script will never generate a response.Error: The script will never generate a response.
