Durable Object Alarms with eu/fedramp juridictions are another option as well, and perhaps less breaking potential and more precision

AviOP•4/28/25, 9:08 PM

those can only ever have one running at once, right?

Chaika•4/28/25, 9:08 PM

per durable object instance

AviOP•4/28/25, 9:08 PM

that seems pretty complicated/messy for what we need, which is basically running a job queue

AviOP•4/28/25, 9:08 PM

i was using cf workflows for this but it was phenomenally broken

AviOP•4/28/25, 9:09 PM

i cannot believe they call that GA

Chaika•4/28/25, 9:09 PM

True, although I think the simplest and most reliable way for your use case would be calling it from a vps you have in a specific location or straight up proxying the request from those regions

AviOP•4/28/25, 9:10 PM

we've been discussing this approach... using a VPS would work but it'd mean setting up all new infra

AviOP•4/28/25, 9:10 PM

much simpler to just stick with CF

AviOP•4/28/25, 9:10 PM

to be clear we currently run this cron job on cf

AviOP•4/28/25, 9:10 PM

works nicely, processed many 100s of thousands of tasks

AviOP•4/28/25, 9:10 PM

we just aren't (yet) calling OpenAI from there

AviOP•4/28/25, 9:11 PM

but yes, a VPS with a specific static location would also work. i just don't want to have to manage another infra provider

Chaika•4/28/25, 9:11 PM

you're not the first one to run into the hkg problem, people have mentioned it in regards to ai gateway before

Chaika•4/28/25, 9:12 PM

hopefully they have some better fix eventually/some way to just avoid it, it's going to come up more and more I think

AviOP•4/28/25, 9:14 PM

i actually had the thought that ai gateway would help here, but i guess it'd just have the same problem of running on whatever nearby colo

Chaika•4/28/25, 9:15 PM

yup and some other requests in the asia pacific region are sometimes routed towards hkg as well, even if the requester isn't in the country

AviOP•4/28/25, 9:16 PM

really appreciate all your help and talking this out!

AviOP•4/28/25, 10:17 PM

anyone know if it's possible for a DO to change locations after creation?

AviOP•4/28/25, 10:17 PM

or is it "tied" to that region?

AviOP•4/28/25, 10:18 PM

oh, the docs say, not yet, but its planned

AAvi anyone know if it's possible for a DO to change locations after creation?

Hello, I’m Allie!•4/29/25, 1:19 AM

Within a region, it may move if the entire Colo goes down, but it won’t move cross-regions yet

Secrets Store in Dev mode doesnt seem to work, using the --remote flag does, but all console.logs dont display then.

Ricky U•4/29/25, 4:45 AM

So how would i use secrets store locally? is the fallback .dev.env? dont really want tos tore my secrets in plaintext, but how wold i go about using secret store locally??

Hi, are versions of

@cloudflare/workers-types

@cloudflare/workers-types

released in hand with a new compatibility date? For example,

@cloudflare/workers-types

@cloudflare/workers-types

4.20250429 was released, does that mean you can now set 2025-04-29 as the

compatibility_date

compatibility_date

in Wrangler config? I know you can put there any date and it automatically falls back to the nearest one but I would like to move only to actually existing ones and don't know how to find out that a new date is available.

LordSilver•4/29/25, 7:40 AM

interesting. i guess you'll be able to use this directly even without the playground ai? let's say i create a worker with one prompt "search for X product and give me the price", then I pass a list of shops, i would like the worker to use the same prompt for each website in the list so i can find the shop with the cheapest price.

Rui Figueira•4/29/25, 8:22 AM

Yes, playground AI uses workers AI under the hood, so it should be doable. Playwright MCP contributes a set of tools that can be called by workers AI: https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers-ai/features/function-calling/

kaelys.js•4/29/25, 3:44 PM

When I try to deploy a worker from the dashboard editor it’s reverting to the hello world default JavaScript. It was working yesterday. I’ve confirmed this in multiple browsers and by creating a new worker and it still occurs.

Max (@rozenmd)•4/29/25, 4:08 PM

that sounds weird - so you're clicking on an existing Worker, then the edit code button, and instead of seeing your code you see the hello world template?

kaelys.js•4/29/25, 4:10 PM

For better clarification, edit code then make some changes and hit “deploy” and the prior deployed version persists and the changes don’t save. Tried in Chrome/safari and new/existing worker and the issue is there.

For now I switched to deploy via wrangler which works fine.

darkpool•4/29/25, 5:06 PM

can multiple workers share the same domain? For example, let's say I have a frontend worker and an api worker. I want my frontend to be at myurl.com and my api to be at myurl.com/api. Is that possible?

Tobias•4/29/25, 5:08 PM

yes using https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/configuration/routing/routes/

Cloudflare Docs

Routes

Routes allow users to map a URL pattern to a Worker. When a request comes in to the Cloudflare network that matches the specified URL pattern, your Worker will execute on that route.

TTobias yes using https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/configuration/routing/routes...

darkpool•4/29/25, 5:10 PM

awesome thanks!

Hi, I would like to ask: when I add a "noindex" rule to the _headers file for the *.pages.dev subdomain and redirect the *.pages.dev subdomain to a custom domain using Bulk Redirects, will the custom domain still be indexed by crawler bots, especially Google?

kaelys.js•4/29/25, 7:56 PM

Here’s what I’m trying to do and I got it partially working;

I’m not sure where the best place to ask is.

We are a potential enterprise customer (CF) and use GCP. One of the biggest limiting factors for us in signing for enterprise and one of our projects is not being able to run a worker from a specific geo/colo.

It seems to work using a geo steered LB with an inner and outer worker so the execution of the inner worker can be shifted to say LHR instead of SEA (my closest colo).

Is there anything wrong with doing this or a reason why it won’t work?

Kkaelys.js Here’s what I’m trying to do and I got it partially working; I’m not sure where...

Chaika•4/29/25, 8:18 PM

I'm not sure what exactly you mean with using LBs in that way, but if you're going to go Enterprise, Cloudflare has a Enterprise only data localization suite that you can use to control exactly which locations can decrypt and serve your requests: https://developers.cloudflare.com/data-localization/regional-services/

Cloudflare Docs

Regional Services

Regional Services gives you the ability to accommodate regional restrictions by choosing which subset of data centers decrypt and service HTTPS traffic.

TomTom•4/30/25, 12:45 AM

So I recently tried building and deploying my backend and front end (node, next and typescript) into a Wrangler Worker. For some reason my worker's page is stuck on my "Loading Session" infinite loop because the /api/auth/session request isn't being made (from the network tabs and from logs). Is there a way I can look deeper into why this is happening?

TomTom•4/30/25, 12:45 AM

I'm a bit lost here

Benjamín Vicente 🇨🇱•4/30/25, 12:48 AM

I just found out that websites with workers + assets tend to be slower than pages on sequent navigations, since assets don't have cache with max-age

Will there be a way to set that assets return with specific cache-control value? It's weird that there isn't an option to add it directly, considering that most projects with frameworks build assets with max-age headers in mind.

Kenneth Solberg•4/30/25, 6:39 AM

After switching from Pages to Workers for my Astro site I can run deploy from local dev and everything works. However when I connect it to the GitHub repo the build fails with this message: "You have to fill in all your /.env environmental variables". Not 100% sure what's missing?

Kenneth Solberg•4/30/25, 6:58 AM

Rabid•4/30/25, 2:39 PM

I got it to work, I just opened the network tab, copied the request to add some unrelated flag, and then changed it to nodejs_compat and just ran the curl lol. Shouldn't be this hard to do.

probably a good bet those countries aren't likely to be green any time soon...
