no, container versions not incrementing

fare•10/30/25, 9:34 AM

Can someone tell me if I'm sending 4-5 requests in a container's URL in a loop, will they all get directed to a single container instance, or they will be distributed against 3-4 instances? How is this derived?

F

fare•10/30/25, 9:35 AM

Locally I have seen them create multiple instances

K

kian•10/30/25, 1:53 PM

Depends how you're acquiring them - it's the same as Durable Objects. You can send them all to a static ID for a singleton, you can randomly distribute it across instances, etc

This is my code — I am not using a static ID. If I switch to using a static ID, does that mean my container rollout time won’t be as long?

K

kian•10/30/25, 3:40 PM

Rollouts depend on how quickly your old Containers are shutting down (they should handle SIGTERM signals) & how quickly the new ones can start

<@235148962103951360>•10/30/25, 4:01 PM

Is there any way to set the location a container starts in?

If the old containers stay active and never shut down, does that mean I won’t be able to deploy new containers?

If you were the user, would you accept waiting 5 hours for a new version to be redeployed? What if there’s a hot fix that needs to go live immediately? I’d like to know what we can do to reduce rollout time?

We’ll take a look - there’s a known bug that a new instance we’re trying to bring up can get stuck & we’re not correctly replacing it

T

Thank you very much — I really appreciate you looking into this.
Hoping the fix can be rolled out as soon as possible.

K

kian•10/30/25, 8:54 PM

Generally we expect rollouts to take as long as old instances shutting down and starting new ones - new ones can sometimes get stuck and we need to fix some things to make sure the stuck ones are retried

K

kian•10/30/25, 8:54 PM

The rollout strategy options right now are only “proceed to the next step once X% of instances are on the new version” but we’ll bring more options over time

Currently each deployment takes a long time and it’s causing impact.

We’re currently unable to deploy a new version because it’s stuck in the updating state

Cloudflare should remove egress to its own products like kv and r2 from a cloudflare container.

tao•10/31/25, 10:26 AM

And I also noticed another issue — even when the status is still updating and the container version hasn’t increased, new containers still start and run.
This is quite confusing, because it’s hard to tell whether my new version has actually been deployed successfully or not.

this is my config. i ran a deploy but the container still says the last location it was in, which isn't in the region i specified. I also get a warning in the wrangler config saying: Property constraints is not allowed

Wrangler also doesnt show the edit in the list of applied changes it shows when deploying

edit: seems i had to delete the container completely to get it to start in the right location

FYI seems this might just be a UI issue as you probably will see your container versions incrementin
