My first suspicion would be that there is something in the data for the instance that is causing it. I suggest wrapping your fetch, onMessage, onRequest, etc methods with a try/catch and logging the details.

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

wrangler do --namespace <ns> read <id> <db.sqlite>

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.

Right, I don't really care about real-time. I was thinking about explicitly doing a one way sync with a command, maybe

pull

pull

is a better word. A command to export just once would be great, the one way sync would be just an optimization.

long time wish: export/backup/archive DO with read-only access to another DO's storage but without competing with the main DOs incoming request queue - a minimal replication delay would be fine

veeque•4/30/25, 4:15 PM

why is the 10gb limit a hard limit? it's not like the data has to travel to other locations, given that a DO only ever exists in the datacenter it was created.

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.

There is transparent migration already, but only when the original location is down, and not due to request traffic.

in all sql queries, instead of a one off

lambrospetrou favors doing it "lazily" in case you have functionality in your DO that doesn't need stored data. If that's not the case for you, doing it in the constructor is fine. That's what I do.

DaniFoldi•5/1/25, 11:30 AM

you can't use hibernation, connect multiple websockets to the same worker, so not quite

Zack•5/1/25, 11:30 AM

Ah I see

DaniFoldi•5/1/25, 11:30 AM

but I see where you're coming from, for a simple proxy, or maybe a filtering/logging service, yeah regular workers are just fine (even better for some things since no wall time charges)

ZZack Isn't storageless DO just a worker? 🤔

lambrospetrou•5/1/25, 11:34 AM

The big benefit of DOs over workers even without storage is coordination due to the global uniqueness of the DO ID.

Tobias•5/1/25, 6:44 PM

We just had a customer having an outage on an important realtime-flow because a DO was hanging for >1h - no requests timed out, they were hanging in pending state.

I'm a bit out of ideas here - since there are no errors, or no indicators on why this suddenly happened.

A re-deploy fixed this, and all connections were reset.

Tobias•5/1/25, 6:45 PM

(This wall time is from an alarm in a different DO that uses RPC to connect here)

Tobias•5/1/25, 6:46 PM

In the morning we had requests erroring with an overload error - self-recovered just fine after the load was gone. But this time, we're a bit clueless - especially since there was no self recovery :/

Tobias•5/1/25, 6:47 PM

The DB in the DO is still relatively small for DB standards, with just 50k records. Nothing that should hit the limit.

Tobias•5/1/25, 6:57 PM

@Sunil Pai - this was a partyserver DO with hibernation, not sure if you have seen this one before

Tobias•5/1/25, 7:15 PM

just happened again

Tobias•5/1/25, 7:24 PM

Yes, the requests are simply not connecting from either outside w/ Websockets or inside with RPC

Tim Lonsdale•5/2/25, 4:30 PM

Hey chaps, we've just started playing around with Sqlite Durable objects. We created a really simple alarm DO that wakes itself up every minute. The actual stored data is de minimis. Its a single column in a single row in a single table of ~100 bytes max. We've had this running for not very long - but our billable duration has already hit 1.6GB-s. I feel like that can't be right - do DOs have some fixed "base" storage associated with them?

Tobias•5/2/25, 4:52 PM

This is not storage but rather a RAM-like billing

lambrospetrou•5/2/25, 4:56 PM

It's indeed confusing to calculate it, but 1.6GB-sec means it's 12.5 seconds of 128MB (the DO memory you are charged). As Tobias said.

Tim Lonsdale•5/2/25, 4:57 PM

Ah but I assumed the DO was loaded into memory and thus the 128MB was the “size” of the DO

lambrospetrou•5/2/25, 5:00 PM

Durable Objects are code like Workers, and they have durable storage you can use up to 10GB. They don't load all that storage in memory. Your DO has 128MB to use for its normal code operations, and tha'ts what you are charged for duration. The durable storage itself is charged separately.
