waitUntil

doesn't give you more time in a DO

Hard@Work•5/5/25, 9:45 PM

The request context for a Durable Objects extends at least 60 seconds after the last client disconnects. So waitUntil is not necessary. It remains part of the DurableObjectState interface to remain compatible with Workers Runtime APIs.

lambrospetrou•5/5/25, 9:46 PM

I have that in progress for my own library (durable-utilsdurable-utils), but not ready yet for any external use. I haven't seen any other library providing that though already.

AviOP•5/5/25, 9:48 PM

oh interesting. that makes me nervous though... i have some DO code that essentially works like a regular HTTP router and i'm using waitUntil for good measure

AviOP•5/5/25, 9:48 PM

why even expose that if it's truly a no-op?

IIRC because many things built for Workers expect ExecutionContextExecutionContext to exist

Your DO will stay active after the last request up to 1-2 minutes if you have some setTimeout/setIntervalsetTimeout/setInterval scheduled, otherwise it will be evicted after 10 seconds.
If you want to keep it running for longer you can schedule an alarm to run every few seconds doing nothing other than checking if your long running tasks are done and rescheduling itself if not yet. Alarms count as normal requests so they reset the timer for eviction.

what about a pending promise?

How do you export a DurableObject in a Next.js app using OpenNext on Workers?

TTyveris With hibernation, do you pay for those 1-2 min?

lambrospetrou•5/6/25, 8:49 AM

If you refer to websocket hibernation, then no, you do not pay for duration once the DO is hibernated.
Note that if you use setTimeout/setIntervalsetTimeout/setInterval your DO will NOT hibernate regardles if you are using websocket hibernation, hence you will be charged for duration in that case.

Tero•5/6/25, 7:48 PM

are there any disturbances with durable objects? One of objects started throwing errors when opening websockets at 18:30 UTC and it still continues. Other instances work fine. All calls to open a websocket end in a error with some internal code, for example:
internal error; reference = keblnpj3s5njtsgrk5tjitk3internal error; reference = keblnpj3s5njtsgrk5tjitk3

Somehow DO alarms get called everytime i refresh the static page

Milan•5/6/25, 9:45 PM

Hmm, are you maybe setting the alarm to run in the constructor? Alternatively, are you calling the alarm()alarm() handler directly somewhere in your DO code?

Not natively, though you should be able to dump the SQL manually

plgingras88•5/6/25, 11:55 PM

I must admit I am still amazed this is not the #1 priority and next feature for DO (I mean native backup/restore procedures through a R2 integration or else).

gruntlord6•5/7/25, 2:53 AM

you can use this at least
durable-objects

gruntlord6•5/7/25, 2:54 AM

otherwise you could have it write to d1 and use d1s dump feature

Alex•5/7/25, 8:46 AM

I get DO's that get stuck in an alarmalarm loop. https://screen.bouma.link/r7vljp4v2bMkNb5vJjlT
This has been reported long time ago and marked as resolved but it doesn't look resolved for me: https://github.com/cloudflare/workerd/issues/2993#issuecomment-2801468494

I have tried emptying the alarmalarm handler and wrapping all it's code in a try/catch. But I don't think I am going to get to the bottom of this without some help

Silvan•5/7/25, 3:14 PM

my assumption is still that the outerbase people are cooking something cool in regards of DO storage

Sstochastic How do you export a DurableObject in a Next.js app using OpenNext on Workers?

stochastic•5/7/25, 3:22 PM

Is this just impossible?

ac•5/7/25, 3:29 PM

Is this still an issue that's somehow hidden now? I don't have Smart placement turned on (it's on "default") but I am still getting this RPC receiver does not implement the method [x]RPC receiver does not implement the method [x] error when I should not be. https://community.cloudflare.com/t/smart-placement-breaks-durable-object-rpc/654797

Silvan•5/7/25, 4:05 PM

not impossible but not recommended anyway workers-and-pages-discussions

Silvan•5/7/25, 4:06 PM

but it would require you to change the built code

Thanks! Makes sense.

Hi

In WSL open devtools does not pop up anything, other commands work fine.
Did anyone run into this?

Sstochastic Thanks! Makes sense.

I use Durable Objects in remix and I made it so there is a backend worker handling the Durable Object for each customer (they get a unique instance each), and the remix app uses RPC to interface with the worker

Lifecycle

Memory management, resource management, and the lifecycle of RPC stubs.

gruntlord6•5/7/25, 7:54 PM

I don't explicitly manage it because the durable object runs on alarms until it completes the queued work

gruntlord6•5/7/25, 7:55 PM

generally it could be as few as one task to tens of thousands, and remix is not designed for managing that nor would it really make sense given the context

Silvan•5/7/25, 9:07 PM

well its still good practice and sadly dosent really work in that environment

SSilvan well its still good practice and sadly dosent really work in that environment

gruntlord6•5/8/25, 1:14 AM

likely, but we only use the RPC to initiate the worker so we end the context very quickly and the documentation says that automatically disposes of it

gruntlord6•5/8/25, 1:15 AM

doing it cleanly is always ideal, but using remix with bindings wasn't super well documentated from what I could find

gruntlord6•5/8/25, 1:15 AM

I'd love if cloudflare had official demos for these platforms with remix next js etc, showing basic things like database bindings, r2 access etc

Fernando Barroso•5/8/25, 2:21 PM

Hey all! Do you know of any observability service that could show spans across a worker and a DO? I know baselime used to be the best option in past but idk what the latest is on that since acquisition.

Alex•5/8/25, 2:28 PM

I have not tried it but I do know Sentry recently released DO support which looks like it supports connected traces: https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/pull/16180

This is coool!

CiRCUiT•5/9/25, 11:44 AM

I'm using Vercel's AI SDK, specifically the streamText function along with createDataStreamResponse, to send custom streaming data. I'd like to integrate this with a Cloudflare WebSocket setup using Durable Objects. What would be the best approach to achieve this integration?
