I believe that DOs persist in one colo, until they are shut down. Once they are triggered again, they are reinitialized in the nearest DO-ready colo to the incoming request.

Hello, I’m Allie!•8/6/21, 1:58 AM

According to your log above, it seems that because there was an extended period of time with no requests, it was terminated(FRA). Once someone else triggered it(Me, probably), it was reestablished in the nearest Colo(SJC) to my request.

Hello, I’m Allie!•8/6/21, 2:00 AM

At least I believe so, I'm having a hard time figuring out that log.

codefrauOP•8/6/21, 2:00 AM

LAX being down for a while would make sense, but I'd have assumed it would move back to LAX once its up again.

Hello, I’m Allie!•8/6/21, 2:01 AM

Not if the next request comes from somewhere else, before it can reestablish itself there.

Erwin•8/6/21, 7:25 AM

DOs that do not have any external state (used the storage API) can be garbage collected and restarted at some other point.

But if I am not mistaken we did have an issue in LAX recently, so it may have been a fail-over indeed. And SJC being the copy with the data now.
And you are correct in that a DO will not leave the cluster it is currently part of, so it won't move from the US to the EU etc.

ItsWendell•8/6/21, 8:30 AM

I've tried this in multiple ways now but can't get it to work. In short, I have a worker which manages incoming websocket connections for GraphQL subscriptions. Once a subscription comes in for a specific chatroom, a connection needs to be opened (or forwarded) to that durable object of that specific chatroom.

The fetch method of stubs don't seem to return a webSocket, created and passed down as response on the durable object.
I can't seem to pass a websocket to the durable object

Any tips? Is this at all possible?

Erwin•8/6/21, 8:32 AM

It is already possible to restrict DOs only to EU colos.. https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/runtime-apis/durable-objects#restricting-objects-to-a-jurisdiction

It isn't possible to automatically migrate a DO after it is created, especially if it has stored data already.

Erwin•8/6/21, 8:33 AM

I don't have a lot of experience with the websocket side of things @itswendell, but I feel it should absolutely be possible?

ItsWendell•8/6/21, 9:20 AM

I'm not so sure about that, I think the tricky thing is is that the connection comes starts in the Worker. The Worker creates and start's listening to WebSocket events with the client. Once a websocket event comes in that subscribes to a specific chatroom channel, I need to somehow communicate from the Worker to the Durable Object in real-time.

I can't start a client / server from the Worker since there is no way I can pass the client in a Fetch request to the Durable Object.
I can't start a client / server from the Durable Object, since the response of the durable object with fetch, doesn't include the webSocket.

Erwin•8/6/21, 9:21 AM

That is correct. (Assuming it saved something to storage). If it didn’t save something to storage I believe it could.

Any plan to activate any DO here on SouthAmerica? It’s bad to always be routes to US … that ads to much latency that makes hard to test our software for any regression.
