We released some improvements to the D1 REST API a few days ago and now most endpoints should have some speedup. The query endpoints especially now should be much faster if you are outside the US.

Read more in the changelog: https://developers.cloudflare.com/changelog/2025-05-30-d1-rest-api-latency/

Would love to see if anyone notices this in their graphs.

Yeah there is a bit more work to do there, but if you have high traffic going through a worker is still best. REST API has the rate limiting, still needs to do auth, check your plan status, etc, so it will always have some delay even if rate limiting was higher. But yes, rate limiting is a common issue with the REST API. It's a thing folks want to improve across CF overall.

Hello! I'm strugling to create a new D1 database (via wrangler and the web dashboard). I get an error about not being able to create more than 10, despite being a paid user with a limit of 50,000.

Any ideas?

gruntlord6•6/5/25, 2:38 PM

could you have a worker in the middle that prevents writes from being passed?

gruntlord6•6/5/25, 2:38 PM

alternatively you could download the d1 export and spin up a local sqlite database

davidbarratt•6/7/25, 12:55 AM

can you dynamically bind a D1 database? I'd like to have a database per-tennat that gets selected based on the request, but it doesn't look like that is posible without just using the REST API directly? Is that right?

You'll probably need a bit more boilerplate than with D1 but its a far better solution overall

dsds10•6/7/25, 8:44 AM

hmm that's interesting. somehow I had the "sqlite in do" stored as "ephemeral" in my mind, but checking the docs that's not the case. I also read that the max size in DO was 1GB, but this doesn't seem the case anymore (or never was)

what are the pro/cons of using sqlite in DO vs using D1?

bkyerv•6/7/25, 9:01 AM

why does wrangler d1 create [name] not work with oauth token (results in auth error) and requires api token? is it by design? or is it a known bug?

Brayden•6/7/25, 11:04 AM

D1 is actually built on top of DO's as an interesting note. D1 uses the SQLite storage layer of DO's but as part of D1 there are also a bunch of boilerplate and helper functionality built on top to make it easier to interact with.

I also read that the max size in DO was 1GB

They did use to be 1GB not too long ago, but not it is 10GB

what are the pro/cons of using sqlite in DO vs using D1

Pros of DO: you have a lot more flexibility to do what you want. Compute & storage all at the same time. Cons of DO: you have to build the boilerplate interfacing systems to inspect them at the moment (but there are libraries that do this). From a storage layer perspective.. they are both DO SQLite!

dsds10•6/7/25, 1:26 PM

@Brayden thanks! what libraries are you referring to? Just made some tests to auto create instances of my backend system on demand and it works surprisingly well! kinda feels like making a cloud self service in a day

Am I right to assume read/writes are not counted like in D1 as it's effectively querying it "locally"? I think just the requests to the DO and the duration it lives is billed afaik.

@Larry seems like everything has it's pro's and con's

only scratched the surface of DO's so far, but it works great

dsds10•6/7/25, 2:37 PM

works like a charm! in case anyone curious, here is an example: https://example.bknd.run/ (ACL enabled)
you can create your own instance by changing the subdomain to whatever you like

really cool what D1 and DO enables us to create :cloudflare:

Apparently this happens if you try to export a remote database that has fts5 tables on it.

Love to see when people 'figure out' DOs and realise how powerful and interesting they are
Just a note that you are still charged for SQL reads/writes in DOs, but the read pricing is very reasonable

lambrospetrouOP•6/9/25, 6:22 PM

What do you mean downtime? There shouldn't be a downtime. The replica information is cached in the locations where it has been used once, so it needs a few hours for them to completely stop being used, though.

at least once a week i feel like there are 10-20min outages

Can you give me details about this? What kind of outages? Was it due to replicas? In all regions, or specific ones? I don't recall some past message here. Feel free to DM me the database and account IDs and will check it.

lambrospetrouOP•6/10/25, 4:57 PM

Can you send me your account ID and database ID and I can restart the DB for you, if it's still stuck?
Is this the first time you tried to export and faced this issue or did this happen again another time for the specific database?
I am trying to pinpoint some common cases where exports take much longer than usual, hence why I am asking.

dsds10•6/10/25, 8:57 PM

Afaik you have 3 ways to achieve this:

1. update worker bindings via the API to add an additional d1 database (docs states that you can theoretically bind up to 5k dbs, env limits)
2. use d1 over http (but queries are way slower)
3. use durable objects with sql storage (downside is that you can‘t use the tooling d1 offers)
