this reminds me.

With the http api, does that work the same as querying from a workers without a session, consistency wise?
i know the http api adds additional latency, but thats not a huge issue with what im using it for. Consistency can be though

Basically, I'm writing to the d1 database from a service running outside of cloudflare, then reading it from workers (on cf pages)

please ping me if you reply

The HTTP API does not use Sessions API for now, so all queries go to the primary.
BTW, the latency for queries has improved a lot a few weeks ago so it's not far off from the Workers Binding (still a bit slower though).

got it, thanks

Yeah, this should work. Read more at https://developers.cloudflare.com/d1/worker-api/d1-database/#batch
Let us know if you find sometihng not working as expected.

Keep in mind the

first-unconstrained

first-unconstrained

means a replica will most likely process the query.

Jumaron•7/1/25, 5:16 PM

How many queries do i need until the read replicas kick in, i still have 0 :/
Using similiar code like quankitt3 from above.
platform.env.DB.withSession(first-unconstrained);
Tried even with bookmarks but sadly nothing works.
Is there a requirement one needs to hit?

Yes issue was resolved

Most likely the disabling and enabling the Replica button again fixed it.

When you don't use sessions explicitly, every request is always sent with

first-primary

first-primary

. Those examples should be identical in practice, since the replicas forward writes to the primary.

If the queries were reversed though, and the

select

select

was the 2nd query happening, they would be different.

So, please forgive me if I'm asking an RTFM sort of question -- I've researched quite a bit, but haven't found definitive answers, I'd be happy to be pointed at the right place to look. I'm just getting started with CloudFlare Workers / D1, and I'm wanting to make sure I fully understand the security models so that I don't accidentally expose my users to security holes. I have read that cloudflare workers are serverless, which sounds to me like my full codebase (assembled) will be getting delivered to the end-users browser. If this is the case, it introduces some interesting security problems with disassembly, but I think is manageable. What I'm unclear about though is -- where are secrets stored, and how to prevent an end-user from doing something nefarious like modifying the wasm to query a different users data, for example. I'm sure something must be in place -- I'm guessing it's not really fully serverless, but I haven't been able to find out what portions are delivered to the end user, and which are not. Any pointers to where I can learn this would be greatly appreciated. Apologies for the novel

onlyanegg•7/2/25, 10:07 PM

TLDR: workers aren't serverless in the way I was thinking of them. There isn't a single server, but edge servers all over the world that execute the code. I'm replying to myself because after I typed that novel, I thought of some new ways to search, and ended up at this link: https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/serverless/what-is-serverless/ - which explains it pretty well

Chaika•7/2/25, 10:32 PM

lol yea it's kind of a confusing name for beginners, generally though when you see serverless anything it's just a way the provider is saying "You don't manage servers or server level issues/worries", generally platforms where you just worry about code, but there's still servers and datacenters behind the scenes

Isaac McFadyen•7/2/25, 11:08 PM

^ also note that there's something with a very similar name to Workers called "Service Workers" that are exactly what you described (code is delivered to browser and executed in browser), but they're something anyone can deploy/use and are different than Workers.

onlyanegg•7/2/25, 11:50 PM

Yeh thanks much for confirmation / clarification - I love the concept, am hoping to switch a fair bit of stuff off my own servers before too long

Jumaron•7/3/25, 11:56 AM

What is the limit of the amount of d1 databases you could increase it to? (Not the 50k, but highest limit possible by request)

Yeah it worked. But the Dashboard from D1 doesnt display it. With PRAGMA table_info('table_name'); it shows the updated default value.

gruntlord6•7/4/25, 8:20 PM

its a case by case basis so you won't get a public answer. If you need that many I would use durable objects instead because they don't have any hard limits in terms of amount of objects (just the amount of classes) https://developers.cloudflare.com/durable-objects/platform/limits/#how-many-durable-objects-can-i-create

Cloudflare Docs

Limits

Durable Objects are a special kind of Worker, so Workers Limits apply according to your Workers plan. In addition, Durable Objects have specific limits as listed in this page.

okHadi (parhlai.com)•7/6/25, 2:35 AM

Hey, need (any) opinion on my appraoch on developing an application on D1. I'm thinking to implement a microservices based architecture, so each logical business unit (e.g users, signups, blogs) will have their own database. This works well in my mind.

I still can't wrap my mind around the 10gb limitation on each database. Even with a microservice architecture, if I have to scale at some point, I will hit this limit with a single db. Of course cloudflare says that you can have many DBs, but how can I even make it work?

In my application, most of the data will be shared (you can think of it as a info website). So each user will almost always see the same data. So I can't do a "multi tenant" approach here.

Another option is sharding: but I'm new to DB design and still wrapping my head around it. So far, sharding doesn't fill the usercase.

This sounds more of an architecture question than a d1 question, but I'm happy to learn any advice, or any case studies that I can be pointed towards. Thanks : )

okHadi (parhlai.com)•7/6/25, 2:39 AM

follow up question: is sharding really a recommended architecture with D1?

okHadi (parhlai.com)•7/6/25, 2:48 AM

Well, each user can sign up, and let's say, they have a shared access to the same data, let's say blogs. The blogs can be of finance, education or any other category. For each category, I can create a database. Makes sense to me. But if I a category has so many blogs that it reaches the 10gb limit?

I'm not convinced I'll hit the limit honestly, but it is still an interesting question for me to ask. "In case" I do, what should I do to plan to scale?

OokHadi (parhlai.com)Well, each user can sign up, and let's say, they have a shared access to the sam...

gruntlord6•7/6/25, 2:52 AM

I’m not really sure I understand, why would each use have a shared blog database?

For example, I have an application with hundreds of thousands of e-commerce products that store owners can import, that needs to be shared so I use a single d1 instance . But all the other data the stores have is in tenant based durable objects, because they don’t need to be shared and don’t apply in other contexts.

okHadi (parhlai.com)•7/6/25, 2:54 AM

okay well yeah ecommerce app makes more sense lol, my bad

like in your case, there a hunderds of thousands of products, if you were to scale it to millions and hit the limit, what would be the approach?

I haven't looked much into durable objects yet, I guess that should be my next study

gruntlord6•7/6/25, 2:55 AM

Each product type is its own database

gruntlord6•7/6/25, 2:56 AM

If I needed two for a single type I would just have the client be updated to reflect that. One of them is about a gb now but I could also just optimize it more

gruntlord6•7/6/25, 2:56 AM

A 10gb database is a big database. There are legitimately large databases that need to be bigger but most are just unoptimized or not well architected

okHadi (parhlai.com)•7/6/25, 2:57 AM

I see

okHadi (parhlai.com)•7/6/25, 2:57 AM

yeah makes sense

gruntlord6•7/6/25, 2:58 AM

D1 is great for shared data but durable objects are a lot nicer for tenant based data since you don’t need to deploy each one, just the base class

Silvan•7/6/25, 6:44 PM

yea most of the time i use d1 for just auth and then DOs for tenants/micro services
