What kind of stats?

Rahil•5/21/25, 11:13 PM

elo rating and overall ranking. It's for 8 ball/pool. I have a friend who's built a more advanced version of the bot helping me and he suggested using railway to host it, but I found out about workers and wanted to see if workers is a good free alternative or just not the right type of tool for the job. My friend said he's not familiar with workers, so he doesn't know, so I thought I'd ask here. It's going to be the first bot I host, so I don't know if I should be using Workers or something else. If not, I'll just stick to railway

Sorry, I meant how do you get those stats? Do you send them via a command? Does the bot have to keep track of messages sent?

Rahil•5/21/25, 11:20 PM

it's gonna be a command like /matchend [username] or something like that, and the bot will send a message and the other person clicks confirm or deny. When the other person clicks confirm, it will update the database with both people's new elo rating

And what does it compute the actual Elo off of?

Rahil•5/21/25, 11:28 PM

it's going to be a combination both the players' current elo and win rate. It going to retrieve the current elo and in rate from the database, and update it based on a formula. My friends bot takes into account the number of matches played with the other person, but mine will essentially be the same thing but only with a single round.

has anyone here used astro sessions with cf?

hi, can anybody help with this?
For the past few days, some users can’t open our website. They are getting ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT on our Cloudflare Pages site. I posted about this on the Cloudflare community page: https://community.cloudflare.com/t/my-website-is-not-opening-for-some-users/800642

Some users have reported that they are unable to access the site.

We’ve tried a few troubleshooting steps that worked for some users, such as resetting their Wi-Fi or connecting to a different network. However, we don’t yet know how many users are affected.

we are not sure why this issue is happening..?

ai.alok•5/22/25, 7:43 AM

we don't have any info about their specific location but certainly all are from India.

ai.alok•5/22/25, 7:44 AM

This is one of our user on twitter.

AubSs•5/22/25, 10:35 AM

Hello, we're getting a few errors 500 when fetching some js/css assets from our Vue SPA App from CF Pages. Assets are deployed. What could be the reason ?

AubSs•5/22/25, 10:38 AM

And it's totally random. Assets sometime are available and a few minutes later, not anymore.

ai.alok•5/22/25, 11:37 AM

This is not happening with us but some of other website as well in India.

What can be the real cause?

KTrain•5/22/25, 12:09 PM

Hi, how do I change the version of pnpm used in the environment without having to change my build command?

dhkl•5/23/25, 1:21 AM

We just saw some pretty wild stuff. We've been deploying our Next.js on Workers. Just now, we noticed that a much older version (many hours ago) of the site was being served to users

quisi.do•5/23/25, 2:05 AM

Quick question: Would I only ever want to use Workflows for an API call that isn't expected to finish promptly? I have several asynchronous APIs where I want the call to wait until they are complete. I like that workflows encapsulate steps, maintain state, and auto-retry... but I don't want the response to be "Here's an instance ID. Come back later for a response." I want it to actually wait on the response. Are workflows the wrong tool for APIs that are intended to respond quickly, or is there a way to await instance.response()await instance.response()?

Dubz•5/23/25, 2:28 AM

For whatever reason I'm having difficulty finding this again but how does one go about rewriting a URI path to a different file without redirecting/worker script? :meow_stare:

0x146231489231923•5/23/25, 2:27 PM

can ask framework specific question here? wanna ask ques related to react-router, basically how to enable hot reload for cloudflare worker local development?

0x146231489231923•5/23/25, 2:28 PM

wrangler dev

wrangler dev

command with hot reload

00x146231489231923 `wrangler dev` command with hot reload

Max (@rozenmd)•5/23/25, 2:56 PM

looking at https://github.com/cloudflare/templates/tree/main/react-router-starter-template it seems like react-router devreact-router dev should automagically run wrangler under the hood (you might need to clone the template to see whats going on)

dave•5/23/25, 4:48 PM

How often can someone change their workers.dev subdomain?

For context, I want to offer a free API for developers using Workers, but I want to rate limit to be fair and cap costs on our end.

Dubz•5/23/25, 4:49 PM

if it's a free API why not just keep open source and let them host it? Would let them control their limits directly with Cloudflare, have a higher limit, and keep things free to you

dave•5/23/25, 4:51 PM

because the backend code is a paid SaaS that I'm trying to encourage people to sign up for. I'm trying to offer a free tier to get people to try it.

Dubz•5/23/25, 4:52 PM

gotcha, that makes sense. I mean there's nothing preventing users from hitting the API in many ways so maybe offer an API key for tracking/limiting?

Dubz•5/23/25, 4:52 PM

I seem to be having difficulty locating this but I know I've seen it before.

Dubz•5/23/25, 4:54 PM

oh lmao I'm looking in worker docs for a wrangler config or something

Dubz•5/23/25, 4:54 PM

I thought you could set routing rules in there to say if path then file

Dubz•5/23/25, 4:56 PM

ahh

Dubz•5/23/25, 4:56 PM

I figured being in this channel might've hinted lol

Dubz•5/23/25, 5:00 PM

apparently _redirects_redirects can do this if you set the code to 200
https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/static-assets/redirects/#proxying

Cloudflare Docs

Redirects

To apply custom redirects on a Worker with static assets, declare your redirects in a plain text file called _redirects without a file extension, in the static asset directory of your project. This file will not itself be served as a static asset, but will instead be parsed by Workers and its rules will be applied to static asset responses.

Yes, there is? That's why I want to check CF-WorkerCF-Worker (and enforce

2a06:98c0:3600::103

2a06:98c0:3600::103

as the source IP).

so maybe offer an API key for tracking/limiting?

That isn't nearly as frictionless. I already do that and it's just one more reason why people don't want to try it out.

dave•5/23/25, 5:26 PM

https://blog.cloudflare.com/sending-email-from-workers-with-mailchannels/

^ I basically want to offer my service like this.

Dubz•5/23/25, 5:26 PM

Yes, there is? That's why I want to check CF-Worker (and enforce 2a06:98c0:3600::103 as the source IP).

I can make 20 free Cloudflare accounts and abuse the API while looking legitimate. Even if I have to buy a domain for each, that's what, $4/yr/ea?

As for the API key, it's going to be needed for the paid plan, so they might as well look to implement it in some way. Ask for email, provide key in response. KISS principle.

dave•5/23/25, 5:27 PM

that's fine. The amount of free services I'm offering is <$4, so people are welcome to waste their money if they want to do that.

Dubz•5/23/25, 5:27 PM

<$4/yr?

dave•5/23/25, 5:27 PM

mhm, that's already done.

Dubz•5/23/25, 5:27 PM

That's assuming you need a domain to make the Cloudflare account for workers, I don't know that you do.

dave•5/23/25, 5:28 PM

You do..

dave•5/23/25, 5:28 PM

if you don't know, that's okay.

dave•5/23/25, 5:28 PM

but please do not derail the actual original question.

dave•5/23/25, 5:30 PM

I could enforce that CF-WorkerCF-Worker be an actual domain, but then that completely breaks anybody using Email or Cron Workers

Dubz•5/23/25, 5:31 PM

just playing devil's advocate

Dubz•5/23/25, 8:00 PM

Can't seem to figure this out.

/ping

/ping

works to show contents of /ping.txt/ping.txt, but /online/online keeps giving a 307 redirect to

...

/online /index.html 200
/ping /ping.txt 200

/online /index.html 200
/ping /ping.txt 200

Dubz•5/23/25, 8:01 PM

if I comment out the first line the redirect disappears and /online.html/online.html is served to /online/online (file exists but I don't want to serve it. may delete but didn't want to if that's not going to fix it)

Dubz•5/23/25, 8:08 PM

Had to use /online / 200/online / 200
