Is there a plan for the ability to wipe them from

wrangler

wrangler

too? I sometimes make some changes to my code that might leave fragments in storage, so I want to start from scratch, without manually having to built that logic into the DO code.

Hello, I’m Allie!OP•8/3/21, 7:22 PM

AFAIK, the

kenton•8/3/21, 7:23 PM

You can delete the whole namespace and recreate it from wrangler. We plan later to add the ability to list existing objects and perhaps to schedule a function to run on all objects.

kenton•8/3/21, 7:29 PM

at present it's likely to stay at the same pop. To move to a new pop, you'd have to wait until all cached traces of the old object have been wiped from the system, which could take a while. But we're still working on automatic migration.

kenton•8/3/21, 7:29 PM

(though if you deleted the entire namespace and created a new one, then nothing carries over)

kenton•8/3/21, 11:06 PM

Ah. Yes, deferring code to run after the response has already been returned is inherently unreliable, because in the case of a failure, no one finds out. E.g. if the power goes out, the task might never execute, but since the user already received a response, they won't know. Output gates can't help with this, since they can't predict what you're going to do in the future after you return the response. Generally, I don't recommend doing this, except maybe for stuff that is fine to be unreliable, like logging.

Kkenton lol just came here to post that, you beat me

kenton•8/4/21, 1:55 PM

idFromString()

idFromString()

specifically parses the output of

id.toString()

id.toString()

. It won't work with any string that wasn't specifically created by stringifying an ID from the same namespace.

idFromName()

idFromName()

takes any string you want and returns a unique ID corresponding to it.

in retrospect, the naming could have been better.

I'm in Denmark, so I hit CPH by default. Though, due to VPN on my PC, I mostly connect to AMS.

asp•8/4/21, 3:54 PM

My latency to CPH is ~10 ms and AMS is ~25 ms.

codefrau•8/4/21, 4:04 PM

Looks like your VPN is slowing down things maybe? FRA should be a lot less.

asp•8/4/21, 4:05 PM

Oh, I'm on a mobile connection right now - that's definitely why. Will test it in ~30 min when I'm home

codefrau•8/4/21, 4:05 PM

codefrau•8/4/21, 4:20 PM

yes

codefrau•8/4/21, 4:20 PM

the worker is in CPH and the DO in FRA

Doesn't 50 ms seem seem alright then, if it's from my PC -> Amsterdam (VPN) -> CPH (Worker) -> FRA (DO)?

I guess it is – I am spoiled by having the worker right here next to me

codefrau•8/4/21, 4:49 PM

Just to correct this - your connection from Amsterdam did not go via CPH. There is a colo in AMS, so that’s where the worker was.

codefrau•8/4/21, 4:49 PM

(the “via” item in the latency display is the worker colo)

asp•8/4/21, 4:53 PM

Ahh, alright - that's quite slow then, as I get 26 ms latency when running a Speedtest on the VPN. Cloudflare does peer with M247 in Amsterdam, right?

asp•8/4/21, 4:56 PM

Hmm, pinging

1.1.1.1

1.1.1.1

(on VPN to M247 in Amsterdam) gives me a latency of 28 ms, so perhaps the route between AMS and FRA is just slow for some reason?
