Just to circle back on that. It's not a read replication issue, there is a regression in our API that returns always "disabled" for read replication mode hence the UI always shows that.
Read replication is still enabled though, and works fine.
We are making a fix now to the API and hopefully will be out by end of the day.

That means you send more requests than what your DB can process. It's not a fixed number limit since it depends on your queries. D1 is single threaded, so the slower the queries, the less amount it can execute. Some users do more than 1K/sec, others can only do 10/s.

lambrospetrouOP•9/5/25, 6:41 PM

It's single threaded, and in each query we return its execution time, so you can track the latency of your queries and judge how many you can handle per second on average based on your traffic.
For example, if you see that your queries are on average 2ms, then you can handle roughly 500.

Hello team, for the past two weeks there were several thousands of D1 errors like network lost/d1 internal errors etc., that happens intermittently So we have tried deleting the data in our D1 database (previously around 4GB) and implemented retries, but now seeing the same level of intermittent errors saying "Exceeded maximum DB size" even the current storage is less than 50MB.

This error means that either you are inserting more than the limit for a single DB according to your plan (500MB/10GB), OR, that you are exceeding your account storage limit, again according to your plan.
If you go through support or you account manager they can raise the account limits. The DB size limit cannot be raised higher than 10GB.

After enabling read replication on my D1 DB when should I expect to see the instance count increase from 1? The docs state that one will be spun up in every region, but I'm not seeing that yet (it was only 15 mins ago I enabled it). EDIT: still at 1 instance many hours later.

aza547•9/6/25, 11:06 AM

- Is there something that prevents replica creation if the DB isn't getting enough traffic? My database is very quiet just now (but not silent, it's still receiving queries from all over). But I was still hoping to see the replicas in action.
- Also curious if relicas are spun up on demand within the same region if traffic is high? Didn't see a mention of that in the docs.
I'm trying to dig myself out of a hole where my user database is overloaded during peak times by enabling read replication on it, I'd love to stick with D1 rather than going to another (multi-threaded) offering.

lambrospetrouOP•9/7/25, 8:15 AM

Read replicas have the same lifecycle as a primary DB. If there is no constant traffic for 1-2 minutes, they will hibernate. Once the next request comes in they will start their boot process, and until they finish booting requests are forwarded to the primary. Once the replica boots (depends on the DB size how many (milli)seconds it will take), then replicas serve the read traffic in that region.

If your traffic is very low, once every few minutes for example, then you probably won't see any traffic served by replicas.

My database is very quiet just now (but not silent, it's still receiving queries from all over).

This is not concrete. What is quiet, and what is "still receiving queries from all over"?

Is there something that prevents replica creation if the DB isn't getting enough traffic?

No, replicas are always "created" as in ready to start, one in each region. But, the traffic is what keeps them alive. No traffic, and they will shutdown again.

Each response has fields telling you if it's the primary or a replica handling your request and from which region: https://developers.cloudflare.com/d1/best-practices/read-replication/#check-where-d1-request-was-processed

const result = await env.DB.withSession()

Also, I assume you use the Sessions API. Otherwise, all your requests will go to the primary regardless if you have enabled read replication or not.

aza547•9/7/25, 8:44 AM

Thank you for the detailed response. That clears it up for me

- It would be awesome if this could be captured in the docs.
- My problem is almost certainly that I'm not using the sessions API.

This is not concrete. What is quiet, and what is "still receiving queries from all over"?

What I was trying to convey is that there is consistent non-zero traffic in every region, and that I expected read replicas in every region to be queried. "Quiet" as in "not enough to overload the primary DB".

The docs to me imply that the sessions API is to guarantee sequential consistency for a set of queries, but the bulk of my traffic is pulling a single field out of the database so I don't actually care about sequential consistency in a lot of cases.

Feel free to point out if I'm missing the obvious, but I don't think the docs make it clear that the sessions API is required for queries to hit a read replica.

I'll go add some .withSession().withSession() calls to my worker and see what happens. Thanks again.

At the very top: Your application can use read replicas with D1 Sessions API.Your application can use read replicas with D1 Sessions API.

We can make it even stronger if that's not clear enough. I will add another clarifying sentence there.

aza547•9/7/25, 8:50 AM

That would be great, I guess I'm still reading that as "you can use the sessions API optionally to get sequential consistency which a read replication enabled DB otherwise doesn't provide"

lambrospetrouOP•9/7/25, 9:42 PM

No, replication is done asynchronously, and there is no blocking time while replicas are being created. As I mentioned above though, in order to get benefits from replicas you would need some continuous traffic, especially since 3GB would need a few seconds to boot.
If you only have a request per minute for example, you will pretty much always go to the primary.

Hi im a noob to d1 and my biggest concern is obviously avoiding something like tea app disaster.

What is the "tea app disaster"?

D1 is durable storage, and provides up to 30 days of Point-in-time-restore for your data to be able to revert to any point in these 30 days.

There are certain limits, about storage (10GB) and fixed resource limits due to being single threaded execution of the queries, but we don't lose your data.

If you have specific concerns or questions, happy to answer. Or anyone in this community for what's worth.

D1 data is encrypted at rest (built ontop of Durable Objects), but obviously access is authenticated using either your worker binding (so having access to deploying workers) or to the Cloudflare access tokens, so you should protect your access tokens as any other secret. I can't say anything specific about the leaked incident of Tea.

Anes•9/8/25, 3:43 PM

you can apply the migrations using drizzle, your drizzle.config.ts should look like this:

import { defineConfig } from "drizzle-kit";
import { config } from "dotenv";

config({
  path: ".env.stage"
});

export default defineConfig({
  schema: ["./src/app/schema.ts", "./src/app/auth-schema.ts"],
  out: "./drizzle/app",
  dialect: "sqlite",
  driver: "d1-http",
  dbCredentials: {
    accountId: process.env.CF_ACCOUNT_ID,
    databaseId: process.env.CF_DATABASE_ID,
    token: process.env.CF_TOKEN,
    url: ""
  }
});

import { defineConfig } from "drizzle-kit";
import { config } from "dotenv";

config({
  path: ".env.stage"
});

export default defineConfig({
  schema: ["./src/app/schema.ts", "./src/app/auth-schema.ts"],
  out: "./drizzle/app",
  dialect: "sqlite",
  driver: "d1-http",
  dbCredentials: {
    accountId: process.env.CF_ACCOUNT_ID,
    databaseId: process.env.CF_DATABASE_ID,
    token: process.env.CF_TOKEN,
    url: ""
  }
});

eg script: "db:push": "drizzle-kit push --config=./drizzle.config.ts""db:push": "drizzle-kit push --config=./drizzle.config.ts",
