D1

HTTP API now returns a HTTP 400 error for invalid queries

Previously, D1’s HTTP API returned a HTTP 500 Internal Server error for an invalid query. An invalid SQL query now correctly returns a HTTP 400 Bad Request error.

D1’s Workers API is unaffected by this change.

Stream

Live Instant Clipping for live broadcasts and recordings

Clipping is now available in open beta for live broadcasts and recordings. For more information, refer to Live instant clipping documentation.

Workers

  • Improve Streams API spec compliance by exposing desiredSize and other properties on stream class prototypes
  • The new URL.parse(...) method is implemented. This provides an alternative to the URL constructor that does not throw exceptions on invalid URLs.
  • R2 bindings objects now have a storageClass option. This can be set on object upload to specify the R2 storage class - Standard or Infrequent Access. The property is also returned with object metadata.

Workers AI

Add AI native binding

  • Added new AI native binding, you can now run models with const resp = await env.AI.run(modelName, inputs)
  • Deprecated @cloudflare/ai npm package. While existing solutions using the @cloudflare/ai package will continue to work, no new Workers AI features will be supported. Moving to native AI bindings is highly recommended

Workers

D1

D1 is generally available

D1 is now generally available and production ready. Read the blog post for more details on new features in GA and to learn more about the upcoming D1 read replication API.

  • Developers with a Workers Paid plan now have a 10GB GB per-database limit (up from 2GB), which can be combined with existing limit of 50,000 databases per account.
  • Developers with a Workers Free plan retain the 500 MB per-database limit and can create up to 10 databases per account.
  • D1 databases can be exported as a SQL file.

Durable Objects

Billing reduction for WebSocket messages

Durable Objects request billing applies a 20:1 ratio for incoming WebSocket messages. For example, 1 million Websocket received messages across connections would be charged as 50,000 Durable Objects requests.

This is a billing-only calculation and does not impact Durable Objects metrics and analytics.

Hyperdrive

Hyperdrive is now Generally Available

Hyperdrive is now Generally Available and ready for production applications.

Read the announcement blog to learn more about the Hyperdrive and the roadmap, including upcoming support for MySQL databases.

Workers

  • The new unwrap_custom_thenables compatibility flag enables workers to accept custom thenables in internal APIs that expect a promise (for instance, the ctx.waitUntil(...) method).
  • TransformStreams created with the TransformStream constructor now have a cancel algorithm that is called when the stream is canceled or aborted. This change is part of the implementation of the WHATWG Streams standard.
  • The nodejs_compat compatibility flag now includes an implementation of the MockTracker API from node:test. This is not an implementation of the full node:test module, and mock timers are currently not included.
  • Exceptions reported to Tail Workers now include a “stack” property containing the exception’s stack trace, if available.

AI Gateway

Queues

Delay messages published to a queue

Messages published to a queue and/or marked for retry from a queue consumer can now be explicitly delayed. Delaying messages allows you to defer tasks until later, and/or respond to backpressure when consuming from a queue.

Refer to Batching and Retries to learn how to delay messages written to a queue.

Queues

Support for pull-based consumers

Queues now supports pull-based consumers. A pull-based consumer allows you to pull from a queue over HTTP from any environment and/or programming language outside of Cloudflare Workers. A pull-based consumer can be useful when your message consumption rate is limited by upstream infrastructure or long-running tasks.

Review the documentation on pull-based consumers to configure HTTP-based pull.

Turnstile

Rules

New TLS fields in rule expressions

Customers can now use new fields cf.tls_client_hello_length (the length of the client hello message sent in a TLS handshake), cf.tls_client_random (the value of the 32-byte random value provided by the client in a TLS handshake), and cf.tls_client_extensions_sha1 (the SHA-1 fingerprint of TLS client extensions) in various products built on Ruleset Engine.

Rules

Origin Rules now allow port numbers in Host Header Override

Customers can now use arbitrary port numbers in Host Header Override in Origin Rules. Previously, only hostname was allowed as a value (for example, example.com). Now, you can set the value to hostname:port (for example, example.com:1234) as well.

Hyperdrive

Improved local development configuration

Hyperdrive now supports a WRANGLER_HYPERDRIVE_LOCAL_CONNECTION_STRING_<BINDING_NAME> environmental variable for configuring local development to use a test/non-production database, in addition to the localConnectionString configuration in wrangler.toml.

Refer to Local development for instructions on how to configure Hyperdrive locally.

Queues

Default content type now set to JSON

The default content type for messages published to a queue is now json, which improves compatibility with the upcoming pull-based queues.

Any Workers created on or after the compatibility date of 2024-03-18, or that explicitly set the queues_json_messages compatibility flag, will use the new default behaviour. Existing Workers with a compatibility date prior will continue to use v8 as the default content type for published messages.

Trace

Cloudflare Trace now supports BYOIP zones

Customers can now use Cloudflare Trace to trace HTTP/S requests through their BYOIP zones.

WAF

D1

Change in wrangler d1 execute default

As of [email protected], wrangler d1 execute and wrangler d1 migrations apply now default to using a local database, to match the default behavior of wrangler dev.

It is also now possible to specify one of --local or --remote to explicitly tell wrangler which environment you wish to run your commands against.

Even if the hostname is not proxied by Cloudflare, Cloudflare Trace will now return all the configurations that Cloudflare would have applied to the request.

WAF

2024-03-11

For more details, refer to the dedicated page for 2024-03-11.

Workers

  • Built-in APIs that return Promises will now produce stack traces when the Promise rejects. Previously, the rejection error lacked a stack trace.
  • A new compat flag fetcher_no_get_put_delete removes the get(), put(), and delete() methods on service bindings and Durable Object stubs. This will become the default as of compatibility date 2024-03-26. These methods were designed as simple convenience wrappers around fetch(), but were never documented.
  • Updated v8 to version 12.3.

D1

Billing for D1 usage

As of 2024-03-05, D1 usage will start to be counted and may incur charges for an account’s future billing cycle.

Developers on the Workers Paid plan with D1 usage beyond included limits will incur charges according to D1’s pricing.

Developers on the Workers Free plan can use up to the included limits. Usage beyond the limits below requires signing up for the $5/month Workers Paid plan.

Account billable metrics are available in the Cloudflare Dashboard and GraphQL API.

Queues

Explicit retries no longer impact consumer concurrency/scaling.

Calling retry() or retryAll() on a message or message batch will no longer have an impact on how Queues scales consumer concurrency.

Previously, using explicit retries via retry() or retryAll() would count as an error and could result in Queues scaling down the number of concurrent consumers.

Access

Access for SaaS OIDC Support

Access for SaaS applications can be setup with OIDC as an authentication method. OIDC and SAML 2.0 are now both fully supported.

D1

API changes to run()

A previous change (made on 2024-02-13) to the run() query statement method has been reverted.

run() now returns a D1Result, including the result rows, matching its original behaviour prior to the change on 2024-02-13.

Future change to run() to return a D1ExecResult, as originally intended and documented, will be gated behind a compatibility date as to avoid breaking existing Workers relying on the way run() currently works.

Stream

Tonemapping impovements for HDR content

In certain cases, videos uploaded with an HDR colorspace (such as footage from certain mobile devices) appeared washed out or desaturated when played back. This issue is resolved for new uploads.

  • Single Page Applications: Introduce zaraz.spaPageview() for manually triggering SPA pageviews
  • Pinterest Managed Component: Add ecommerce support
  • Google Ads Managed Component: Append url and rnd params to pagead/landing endpoint
  • Bugfix: Add noindex robots headers for Zaraz GET endpoint responses
  • Bugfix: Gracefully handle responses from custom Managed Components without mapped endpoints

D1

API changes to raw(), all() and run()

D1’s raw(), all() and run() query statement methods have been updated to reflect their intended behaviour and improve compatibility with ORM libraries.

raw() now correctly returns results as an array of arrays, allowing the correct handling of duplicate column names (such as when joining tables), as compared to all(), which is unchanged and returns an array of objects. To include an array of column names in the results when using raw(), use raw({columnNames: true}).

run() no longer incorrectly returns a D1Result and instead returns a D1ExecResult as originally intended and documented.

This may be a breaking change for some applications that expected raw() to return an array of objects.

Refer to D1 client API to review D1’s query methods, return types and TypeScript support in detail.

Vectorize

Metadata API changes

Vectorize now supports distinct returnMetadata and returnValues arguments when querying an index, replacing the now-deprecated returnVectors argument. This allows you to return metadata without needing to return the vector values, reducing the amount of unnecessary data returned from a query. Both returnMetadata and returnValues default to false.

For example, to return only the metadata from a query, set returnMetadata: true.

let matches = await env.YOUR_INDEX.query(queryVector, { topK: 5, returnMetadata: true })

New Workers projects created on or after 2023-11-08 or that update the compatibility date for an existing project will use the new return type.

HLS improvements for on-demand TS output

HLS output from Cloudflare Stream on-demand videos that use Transport Stream file format now includes a 10 second offset to timestamps. This will have no impact on most customers. A small percentage of customers will see improved playback stability. Caption files were also adjusted accordingly.

D1

Row count now returned per query

D1 now returns a count of rows_written and rows_read for every query executed, allowing you to assess the cost of query for both pricing and index optimization purposes.

The meta object returned in D1’s Client API contains a total count of the rows read (rows_read) and rows written (rows_written) by that query. For example, a query that performs a full table scan (for example, SELECT * FROM users) from a table with 5000 rows would return a rows_read value of 5000:

"meta": {
  "duration": 0.20472300052642825,
  "size_after": 45137920,
  "rows_read": 5000,
  "rows_written": 0

}

Refer to D1 pricing documentation to understand how reads and writes are measured. D1 remains free to use during the alpha period.

D1

Bind D1 from the Cloudflare dashboard

You can now bind a D1 database to your Workers directly in the Cloudflare dashboard. To bind D1 from the Cloudflare dashboard, select your Worker project -> Settings -> Variables -> and select D1 Database Bindings.

Note: If you have previously deployed a Worker with a D1 database binding with a version of wrangler prior to 3.5.0, you must upgrade to wrangler v3.5.0 first before you can edit your D1 database bindings in the Cloudflare dashboard. New Workers projects do not have this limitation.

Legacy D1 alpha users who had previously prefixed their database binding manually with __D1_BETA__ should remove this as part of this upgrade. Your Worker scripts should call your D1 database via env.BINDING_NAME only. Refer to the latest D1 getting started guide for best practices.

We recommend all D1 alpha users begin using wrangler 3.5.0 (or later) to benefit from improved TypeScript types and future D1 API improvements.

New default storage subsystem

Databases created via the Cloudflare dashboard and Wrangler (as of v3.4.0) now use D1’s new storage subsystem by default. The new backend can be 6 - 20x faster than D1’s original alpha backend.

To understand which storage subsystem your database uses, run wrangler d1 info YOUR_DATABASE and inspect the version field in the output.

Databases with version: beta use the new storage backend and support the Time Travel API. Databases with version: alpha only use D1’s older, legacy backend.

More accurate bandwidth estimates for live video playback

When playing live video, Cloudflare Stream now provides significantly more accurate estimates of the bandwidth needs of each quality level to client video players. This ensures that live video plays at the highest quality that viewers have adequate bandwidth to play.

As live video is streamed to Cloudflare, we transcode it to make it available to viewers at mulitple quality levels. During transcoding, we learn about the real bandwidth needs of each segment of video at each quality level, and use this to provide an estimate of the bandwidth requirements of each quality level the in HLS (.m3u8) and DASH (.mpd) manifests.

If a live stream contains content with low visual complexity, like a slideshow presentation, the bandwidth estimates provided in the HLS manifest will be lower, ensuring that the most viewers possible view the highest quality level, since it requires relatively little bandwidth. Conversely, if a live stream contains content with high visual complexity, like live sports with motion and camera panning, the bandwidth estimates provided in the HLS manifest will be higher, ensuring that viewers with inadequate bandwidth switch down to a lower quality level, and their playback does not buffer.

This change is particularly helpful if you’re building a platform or application that allows your end users to create their own live streams, where these end users have their own streaming software and hardware that you can’t control. Because this new functionality adapts based on the live video we receive, rather than just the configuration advertised by the broadcaster, even in cases where your end users’ settings are less than ideal, client video players will not receive excessively high estimates of bandwidth requirements, causing playback quality to decrease unnecessarily. Your end users don’t have to be OBS Studio experts in order to get high quality video playback.

No work is required on your end — this change applies to all live inputs, for all customers of Cloudflare Stream. For more, refer to the docs.

R2

  • Unsupported search parameters to ListObjects/ListObjectsV2 are now rejected with 501 Not Implemented.
  • Fixes for Listing:
    • Fix listing behavior when the number of files within a folder exceeds the limit (you’d end up seeing a CommonPrefix for that large folder N times where N = number of children within the CommonPrefix / limit).
    • Fix corner case where listing could cause objects with sharing the base name of a "folder" to be skipped.
    • Fix listing over some files that shared a certain common prefix.
  • DeleteObjects can now handle 1000 objects at a time.
  • S3 CreateBucket request can specify x-amz-bucket-object-lock-enabled with a value of false and not have the requested rejected with a NotImplemented error. A value of true will continue to be rejected as R2 does not yet support object locks.

Added deltas to wrangler pages publish
