Yes. KV is really meant to be used with Workers. In the event you don’t want your program logic on Workers, I would still recommend using a Worker to do the actual reads/writes against KV, as it should be a lot more performant than using the default HTTP API

yinxingmaiming6409OP•5/15/25, 7:26 AM

But it's really difficult for workers to restrict the development language

Is this because of the connection overhead of using the HTTP API? And is it mitigated for writes if you’re using bulk writes?

T

thomasgauvin•5/16/25, 1:45 PM

Yes, it's actually because the HTTP API includes both control plane operations (create resources in Cloudflare) and data plane operations (write, read on KV for example). We're working on removing the API rate limits entirely because KV itself does not need to be rate limited

T

thomasgauvin•5/16/25, 1:46 PM

So today, if you use bulk operations, you can definitely do more operations against your KV namespace than with individual operations

Is the removal of the API rate limit just for the KV endpoints? Or is there a more general discussion around removing that limit altogether

P

planet•5/17/25, 1:13 PM

some people put the Cache API in front of KV to reduce read costs, and it's still very fast (not sure if faster tho)

P

planet•5/17/25, 1:16 PM

use whatever works

P

planet•5/17/25, 1:19 PM

use kv as the persistent backend that the cache api will pull from

FFlikTeoh You're right. Just couldn't figure out why still need the KV 😅

T

thomasgauvin•5/19/25, 3:05 PM

KV is the persistent source of truth for data for many developers. What are you using as your persistent store in your case?

T

thomasgauvin•5/21/25, 1:54 PM

If you have small data that can fit in Secrets or Workers Environment Variables that is static (changes to secrets and env vars require new deployments), then yes, that's a good solution

A

Alex Izydorczyk•5/21/25, 8:54 PM

We are trying to decide if to adopt KV. Here is our scenario:

We're using their KV store alongside Cloudflare Workers to serve as a cache for some of our frequently queried postgres queries.
We're hitting the cache, directly from the browser by querying a worker's API endpoint
The average payload size is 250kb, but it's taking 300-400ms to respond

A

Alex Izydorczyk•5/21/25, 8:55 PM

is that expected performance? Not based on anything, I would have thought we'd get even faster performance

planet•5/21/25, 10:01 PM

#hyperdrive better suited for this. tho 300-400ms for kv seems long

T

thomasgauvin•5/22/25, 4:09 PM

Hyperdrive is a good fit indeed @Alex Izydorczyk . But both Hyperdrive and Workers KV use the same caching layer. The difference is that Workers KV is persistent storage. If you write something to KV and access after it has been removed from cache (based on the cacheTtl parameter), you will be getting the value from KV's central stores https://developers.cloudflare.com/kv/concepts/how-kv-works/

A

Alex Izydorczyk•5/22/25, 4:17 PM

Not to throw my own engineer under the bus, but he says " Hyperdrive is just a connection pooler with a very light caching layer. It makes connecting to postgres quick yes, but not a true caching layer like KV." -- it sounds like we have some fundamental misunderstanding of the product difference?

1984 Ford Laser•5/27/25, 2:24 AM

Should I be seeing latency this high, even with mostly cold reads?

yinxingmaiming6409OP•5/28/25, 4:24 PM

Does the webrtc of CALL have to follow the SFU protocol? Data to CloudFlare servers, does everyone's connection consume data?

P

piffie•5/31/25, 7:33 AM

why is the write in batch function only available via rest API and not via the worker API? does not make sense.
