I actually meant running the function inside an object created using `idFromName()` - my fault.

HYeah, it can recreate itself at another time, but without the previous storage.
Aalso at another PoP?
HIs that , and ?
HYeah, the recreation should then be by the nearest POP that is a valid DO hosting colo.
Kat 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.
K(though if you deleted the entire namespace and created a new one, then nothing carries over)
AAlright, that makes sense!
W@kentonv_cf How the in/out gates plays with the ctx.waitUntil? Will this break the rules?
K doesn't actually do anything in particular anymore. The object keeps running for at least 30 seconds after the last request whether or not use use waitUntil().
WBut if we use storage operations on the waitUntil, we will be able to make a response without actually wait.
KAh. 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.
CVery good writeup about an exciting design. Can't wait to test. Just bogged down with other stuff 
ADoes anyone have numbers on roundtrip time to Durable Objects living on the other side of the world?
Kwhat is the difference between idFromName() and idFromString() and how long value (max. length) I could put there?
K specifically parses the output of . It won't work with any string that wasn't specifically created by stringifying an ID from the same namespace.
idFromName()in retrospect, the naming could have been better.
Kthanks!

CLAX to KIX is ~ 130 ms, LAX to FRA ~170 Where are you? I can send you a link to try
AI'm in Denmark, so I hit CPH by default. Though, due to VPN on my PC, I mostly connect to AMS.
AMy latency to CPH is ~10 ms and AMS is ~25 ms.
CTry these for latency testing:

Click "test latency" a few times, and maybe reload to make a new request.

CLooks like your VPN is slowing down things maybe? FRA should be a lot less.
AOh, I'm on a mobile connection right now - that's definitely why. Will test it in ~30 min when I'm home 
COh that is a problem too of course. In LA I sometimes get single digit latencies 
(on fibre at home)
(on fibre at home)Aon fibre at homeI "only" have 1000/500 over COAX (DOCSIS 3.1) :/
ASpeeds are great, but latency doesn't get lower than ~10 ms to anywhere
A@codefrau I launched the links on my PC now (with VPN)
CSo that's the connection from Amsterdam then - can you try without VPN? 50 ms to FRA still seems like a lot
ADone
C32ms, that looks better
ASo 32 ms is roundtime from my PC to FRA via CPH?
Cyes
Cthe worker is in CPH and the DO in FRA
ADoesn't 50 ms seem seem alright then, if it's from my PC -> Amsterdam (VPN) -> CPH (Worker) -> FRA (DO)?
CI guess it is – I am spoiled by having the worker right here next to me
AI don't think there's anything to do about the ~10 ms latency added just to get out of the house
Athis is COAX after all
AAnyways, thanks a lot for the help
CYou're welcome 
CJust 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.
C(the “via” item in the latency display is the worker colo)
AAhh, 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?
AHmm, pinging
1.1.1.1
IIs it possible to move an web-socket connection from the worker to a durable object?
Cyes, you pass the websocket request (with the "Upgrade: websocket" header) to the DO via
KWhen I have durable object, let's call it xyz I must use fetch to communicate with it?
or could I call it's functions directly?
example: xyz.storage.get('key');
or could I call it's functions directly?
example: xyz.storage.get('key');
CYes, fetch only
Kok, thanks
