Where did you see the 1GB mentioned? https://developers.cloudflare.com/d1/platform/pricing/

Architecturally would it be possible to implement Cap'n Proto as a data type for D1? Spanner recently released protocol buffer support (apparently was available for years in their internal build) and it unlocks some really cool features like type safety and 10x faster performance vs storing nested data in JSON/JSONB. Compared to Spanner's approach, Cap'n Proto seems like it would be significantly better too since it's zero-copy. Is this something that's been considered or technically feasible with D1's architecture?

lambrospetrou•8/15/25, 6:37 AM

No, 10GB is a hard limit at the moment. No immediate plans to change that.

LLengo Also, will D1 auto scale to any number of requests?

lambrospetrou•8/15/25, 6:38 AM

Also no, see my answer a few messages above for the same question: d1-database

If you need a traditional "big machine" database, you might be better off with Hyperdrive + any database provider of your choice.

Lengo•8/15/25, 6:40 AM

okay thanks

I'm probably just going to use Neon... if I could provide a suggestion, a service like theirs in the Cloudflare dev platform would be very cool

lambrospetrou•8/15/25, 6:47 AM

D1 is a more managed database over using SQLite Durable Objects directly, so it's great when you can shard your application data model across several of them. Sweet spot is a few tens so not exactly per user but not limited by the 10GB limit either, if you need more than that in the thousands you are better to use DOs directly.

Imagine apps like the trendy vibe coding platforms nowadays where you need a database for millions of independent projects and each one is self-contained and small, just as an example where it fits great. Or internal projects that fit within 10GB (or N multiples of them where sharding comes naturally) and the traffic is not crazy.

Lengo•8/15/25, 6:49 AM

Ah, so not for something like a social media app for example?

LLengo Ah, so not for something like a social media app for example?

lambrospetrou•8/15/25, 6:51 AM

Well, social media is broad. If you are building Facebook, no. If you are building your own version of a small social media platform you could involve D1 in certain aspects for sure, e.g. for things that are private to a user. But then it also depends no usage, so just by a 2-word description it's not obvious. Again, my guideline rule is that if you are fine with 0-100GB of total storage and requests are not tens of thousands per second, D1 can work.
Otherwise, if sharding is natural to your app, SQLite DOs, otherwise Hyperdrive + any external traditional database.

hi!

if i have the following monorepo:

├── packages/
│   ├── worker/  
│   └── db/ 
└── apps/   
    └── app1/
    └── app2/

├── packages/
│   ├── worker/  
│   └── db/ 
└── apps/   
    └── app1/
    └── app2/

where app1 and app2 are two separate workers with separate wrangler files that share the same db instance and generally share the same worker logic implemented in packages/worker. can i somehow point the local db to the same db? or are they forced to be generated in their own local .wrangler folder?

Hey, yesterday, during our burst load, we received 153 "D1_ERROR: D1 DB is overloaded. Too many requests queued." on our d1 db while serving about 161k queries for ~30 minutes. It's a lot of queries and it seems like we managed to just stand of the edge of a single D1 db capacity. Do you guys at Cloudflare see more statistics about databases hidden to us users that ought to be interesting?

lambrospetrou•8/22/25, 4:06 PM

There is no policy against doing that, but keep in mind that whle exporting your database is blocked from serving any queries, so doing it every 10 minutes, especially if it's more than a few hundred MBs, it's not going to be a nice experience to your users.

lambrospetrou•8/22/25, 5:31 PM

Not at the moment. Hopefully we will get to refactoring the whole export flow soon, and that won't be necessary.

With read-replicas, it should be a lot easier. Detach a replica and export that.

gruntlord6•8/22/25, 10:32 PM

Every 10 minutes seems excessive since you can just read the database directly or use time travel for restores between your backup periods. Is there something in the use case that requires that frequency?
