I'm not using the KV storage in any form, just SQLite backed DOs. is what I'm experiencing normal or should I be doing extra validation on

If you and the caller function returns successfully it should be all you need.
You say you observe data deleted in terms of size too, so it does go through.
We don't restore your data automatically unless you restore to a bookmark yourself.

lambrospetrou•4/28/25, 8:29 AM

I think that error is relevant to the delete you try to do and it probably means the delete doesn't fully go through, or that error causes the deletion to be reverted. I will forward it to the team to investigate more.
Your code is correct in terms of the delete code.

Hey there! Has anyone here used workers analytics engine for back-office/analytics on a DO-per-user setup? I am thinking of either using WAE or a tree structure of DOs where I have a “parent” DO keep track of all its children via an initialization function and later on asynchronously via alarms.

Has anyone done anything like this?

lambrospetrou•4/29/25, 3:52 PM

Yes, that's common.
You can avoid the alarms by only having active DOs "heartbeat" to your "parent" DO, instead of waking them up with alarms all the time. Unless you do need that, of course.

lambrospetrou•4/29/25, 4:52 PM

For compute requests billing-only, a 20:1 ratio is applied to incoming WebSocket messages to factor in smaller messages for real-time communication. For example, 100 WebSocket incoming messages would be charged as 5 requests for billing purposes.

More than a direct use case, I was hopeful read replication would enable dynamic relocation of DOs. If a worker accesses the DO from another data center it gets read replicated right there. After the DO gets evicted, next time it's accessed, if there was already a read replica in the new data center, that replica gets promoted to write leader.

Also, it'd be nice to have locally replicated DO sqlite files for debugging. Maybe with something like

lambrospetrou•4/30/25, 9:23 AM

Also, it'd be nice to have locally replicated DO sqlite files for debugging. Maybe with something like wrangler do --namespace <ns> read <id> <db.sqlite>

You mean, doing an export/dump/copy right once? You don't expect things to be replicated locally in real time when changes happen remotely.

After the DO gets evicted, next time it's accessed, if there was already a read replica in the new data center, that replica gets promoted to write leader.

This is something that we are thinking about but not as part of read replication. Moving the primary should take into account more than just a single request, so it wouldn't work like that, but yeah the team at some points wants to be able to move primary DOs.

You mean, doing an export/dump/copy right once? You don't expect things to be replicated locally in real time when changes happen remotely.

Right, I don't really care about real-time. I was thinking about explicitly doing a one way sync with a command, maybe is a better word. A command to export just once would be great, the one way sync would be just an optimization.

lambrospetrou•4/30/25, 4:26 PM

Few reasons, cold starts would be very slow and it would be hard to get the fast SQLite performance from local queries if you had to load pages from remote most of the time (even with caching). Also, the fact that the DOs do not move (yet), is just because it's not implemented, yet.
