Try Durable Objects. D1 is actually just a thin layer over Durable Objects. In the past D1 provided a lot of DX benefits like better observability, but those are increasingly being merged back into DO directly. What is a Durable Object? It&

You aren't the only one who was confused! We bungled the messaging there.

This is a bit of a misunderstanding. We are not sunsetting Pages. We are taking all the Pages-specific features and turning them into general Workers features -- which we should have done in the first place. At some point -- when we can do

Well... it doesn't. It just hides the one window. (Which personally is what I want. I hate it when multiple windows are grouped together just because they happen to be instances of the same application. For me that has nothing to do wi

What's the difference between "minimize" and "hide"? "Hide" is readily available in the context menu of a window (right-click on its toolbar). (Personally I rarely hide anything, I just have a messy stack

I am not very familiar with Supabase edge functions, but it appears to be based on Deno. According to Deno's documentation, it does not implement hardening against runtime exploits, instead recommending that you set that up separately:

Job scheduling and tenant sandboxing are generally the responsibility of the hosting provider, not the JS runtime. If you are going to run workerd on, say, Lambda, then you rely on Lambda for these things, not workerd. No other server JS ru

In my experience FSD doesn't like staying in the left lane. It'll use it to pass but then gets out of it as soon as it can. Often too soon as it just has to shift left again to pass the next car...

by kentonv 11mo ago
How do you meaningfully count interventions, though? I intervene on FSD all the time, but only due to differences of opinion, like I want to take a different route, or I think it's being too cautious, or I want to change lanes earlier

Honestly, I kind of think that ffmpeg should just document that it's not secure and that you're expected to run it in a sandbox if you plan to use it on possibly-malicious input. All the big cloud users and browsers are doing this

The Cloudflare Workers runtime is open source: https://github.com/cloudflare/workerd People can and do use this to run Workers on hosting providers other than Cloudflare.

We can't implement automatic caching of POST requests because there is no standard for computing cache keys for POST requests; it's different for every application. E.g. presumably the body of the request matters for cache matchin

The Cache API is a web-standard API. We chose to follow it in an attempt to follow standards. Unfortunately it turned out to be a poor fit. Among other things, as you note, the "cache key" is required to be HTTP-request-shaped, bu

You may be interested in the Dynamic Worker Loader API, which lets you set up isolate-based sandboxes (instead of containers) and gives you extremely fine-grained, object-capability-based control over permissions. It was announced as part o

It's not deprecated. There's confusion because the implementation is changing to be better-integrated with Workers, and currently it's manual migration to get the new implementation, but eventually it'll be automatic. It

Correction: The author of the SvelteKit benchmark says it is designed to do the same work as the Next.js one: https://x.com/bmdavis419/status/1978242304432325041 But the "vanilla" benchmark generates som

The benchmark cases are not comparable to each other. Each does totally different work. They are only meant to compare hosting providers.

Agreed. The best apps turned out to be the ones written for the platform. And many of those took people an afternoon to write, since the platform handled so much for you. Porting "normal" apps into Sandstorm felt like it defeated

Those numbers are indexes into a table that is connection-specific. So the numbers themselves aren't secrets at all, and it doesn't matter if you can guess them -- they won't mean the same thing in the context of some other c
