Workers

  • Fixed RPC to/from Durable Objects not honoring the output gate.
  • The internal_stream_byob_return_view compatibility flag can be used to improve the standards compliance of the ReadableStreamBYOBReader implementation when working with BYOB streams provided by the runtime (like in response.body or request.body). The flag ensures that the final read result will always include a value field whose value is set to an empty Uint8Array whose underlying ArrayBuffer is the same memory allocation as the one passed in on the call to read().
  • The Web platform standard reportError(err) global API is now available in workers. The reported error will first be emitted as an ’error’ event on the global scope then reported in both the console output and tail worker exceptions by default.

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.

Page Shield

Increase allowed length per policy

Now each policy supports up to 6,000 characters.

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.

  • 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.

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.

  • 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.

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.

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,

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.

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.

  • The R2 put() binding options can now be given an onlyIf field, similar to get(), that performs a conditional upload.
  • The R2 delete() binding now supports deleting multiple keys at once.
  • The R2 put() binding now supports user-specified SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512 checksums in options.
  • User-specified object checksums will now be available in the R2 get() and head() bindings response. MD5 is included by default for non-multipart uploaded objects.

Stream

Manually control when you start and stop simulcasting

You can now enable and disable individual live outputs via the API or Stream dashboard, allowing you to control precisely when you start and stop simulcasting to specific destinations like YouTube and Twitch. For more, read the docs.

Pages

Increased domain limits

Previously, all plans had a maximum of 10 custom domains per project.

Now, the limits are:

  • Free: 100 custom domains.
  • Pro: 250 custom domains.
  • Business and Enterprise: 500 custom domains.

Pages

Support for _routes.json

  • Pages now offers support for _routes.json. For more details, refer to the documentation.

R2

  • The S3 CopyObject operation now includes x-amz-version-id and x-amz-copy-source-version-id in the response headers for consistency with other methods.
  • The ETag for multipart files uploaded until shortly after Open Beta uploaded now include the number of parts as a suffix.

Pages

Increased build log expiration time

Build log expiration time increased from 2 weeks to 1 year.

R2

  • The S3 DeleteObjects operation no longer trims the space from around the keys before deleting. This would result in files with leading / trailing spaces not being able to be deleted. Additionally, if there was an object with the trimmed key that existed it would be deleted instead. The S3 DeleteObject operation was not affected by this.
  • Fixed presigned URL support for the S3 ListBuckets and ListObjects operations.

Stream

Unique subdomain for your Stream Account

URLs in the Stream Dashboard and Stream API now use a subdomain specific to your Cloudflare Account: customer-{CODE}.cloudflarestream.com. This change allows you to:

  1. Use Content Security Policy (CSP) directives specific to your Stream subdomain, to ensure that only videos from your Cloudflare account can be played on your website.

  2. Allowlist only your Stream account subdomain at the network-level to ensure that only videos from a specific Cloudflare account can be accessed on your network.

No action is required from you, unless you use Content Security Policy (CSP) on your website. For more on CSP, read the docs.

Pages

New bindings supported

R2

  • Uploads will automatically infer the Content-Type based on file body if one is not explicitly set in the PutObject request. This functionality will come to multipart operations in the future.

Stream

Clip videos using the Stream API

You can now change the start and end times of a video uploaded to Cloudflare Stream. For more information, refer to Clip videos.

R2

  • Fixed S3 conditionals to work properly when provided the LastModified date of the last upload, bindings fixes will come in the next release.
  • If-Match / If-None-Match headers now support arrays of ETags, Weak ETags and wildcard (*) as per the HTTP standard and undocumented AWS S3 behavior.

Stream

Live inputs

The Live Inputs API now supports optional pagination, search, and filter parameters. For more information, refer to the Live Inputs API documentation.

R2

  • Added dummy implementation of the following operation that mimics the response that a basic AWS S3 bucket will return when first created: GetBucketAcl.

R2

  • Added dummy implementations of the following operations that mimic the response that a basic AWS S3 bucket will return when first created:

    • GetBucketVersioning
    • GetBucketLifecycleConfiguration
    • GetBucketReplication
    • GetBucketTagging
    • GetObjectLockConfiguration

R2

  • Fixed an S3 compatibility issue for error responses with MinIO .NET SDK and any other tooling that expects no xmlns namespace attribute on the top-level Error tag.
  • List continuation tokens prior to 2022-07-01 are no longer accepted and must be obtained again through a new list operation.
  • The list() binding will now correctly return a smaller limit if too much data would otherwise be returned (previously would return an Internal Error).

R2

  • Improvements to 500s: we now convert errors, so things that were previously concurrency problems for some operations should now be TooMuchConcurrency instead of InternalError. We’ve also reduced the rate of 500s through internal improvements.
  • ListMultipartUpload correctly encodes the returned Key if the encoding-type is specified.

R2

  • S3 XML documents sent to R2 that have an XML declaration are not rejected with 400 Bad Request / MalformedXML.
  • Minor S3 XML compatibility fix impacting Arq Backup on Windows only (not the Mac version). Response now contains XML declaration tag prefix and the xmlns attribute is present on all top-level tags in the response.
  • Beta ListMultipartUploads support.

R2

  • Support the r2_list_honor_include compat flag coming up in an upcoming runtime release (default behavior as of 2022-07-14 compat date). Without that compat flag/date, list will continue to function implicitly as include: ['httpMetadata', 'customMetadata'] regardless of what you specify.
  • cf-create-bucket-if-missing can be set on a PutObject/CreateMultipartUpload request to implicitly create the bucket if it does not exist.
  • Fix S3 compatibility with MinIO client spec non-compliant XML for publishing multipart uploads. Any leading and trailing quotes in CompleteMultipartUpload are now optional and ignored as it seems to be the actual non-standard behavior AWS implements.

Pages

Added support for .dev.vars in wrangler pages

Pages now supports .dev.vars in wrangler pages, which allows you to use use environmental variables during your local development without chaining --envs.

This functionality requires Wrangler v2.0.16 or higher.

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.

R2

  • Fixed a regression for some clients when using an empty delimiter.
  • Added support for S3 pre-signed URLs.

R2

  • Fixed a regression in the S3 API UploadPart operation where TooMuchConcurrency & NoSuchUpload errors were being returned as NoSuchBucket.

Pages

Added deltas to wrangler pages publish

Pages has added deltas to wrangler pages publish.

We now keep track of the files that make up each deployment and intelligently only upload the files that we have not seen. This means that similar subsequent deployments should only need to upload a minority of files and this will hopefully make uploads even faster.

This functionality requires Wrangler v2.0.11 or higher.

R2

  • Fixed a bug with the S3 API ListObjectsV2 operation not returning empty folder/s as common prefixes when using delimiters.
  • The S3 API ListObjectsV2 KeyCount parameter now correctly returns the sum of keys and common prefixes rather than just the keys.
  • Invalid cursors for list operations no longer fail with an InternalError and now return the appropriate error message.

R2

  • Fixed a bug where the S3 API AbortMultipartUpload operation threw an error when called multiple times.

Pages

Added branch alias to PR comments

  • PR comments for Pages previews now include the branch alias.

R2

  • Fixed a bug where the S3 API’s PutObject or the .put() binding could fail but still show the bucket upload as successful.
  • If conditional headers are provided to S3 API UploadObject or CreateMultipartUpload operations, and the object exists, a 412 Precondition Failed status code will be returned if these checks are not met.

Stream

Picture-in-Picture support

The Stream Player now displays a button to activate Picture-in-Picture mode, if the viewer’s web browser supports the Picture-in-Picture API.

R2

  • Fixed a bug when Accept-Encoding was being used in SignedHeaders when sending requests to the S3 API would result in a SignatureDoesNotMatch response.

R2

  • Fixed a bug where requests to the S3 API were not handling non-encoded parameters used for the authorization signature.
  • Fixed a bug where requests to the S3 API where number-like keys were being parsed as numbers instead of strings.

R2

  • Add support for S3 virtual-hosted style paths, such as <BUCKET>.<ACCOUNT_ID>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com instead of path-based routing (<ACCOUNT_ID>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com/<BUCKET>).
  • Implemented GetBucketLocation for compatibility with external tools, this will always return a LocationConstraint of auto.

Stream

Creator ID property

During or after uploading a video to Stream, you can now specify a value for a new field, creator. This field can be used to identify the creator of the video content, linking the way you identify your users or creators to videos in your Stream account. For more, read the blog post.

R2

  • S3 API GetObject ranges are now inclusive (bytes=0-0 will correctly return the first byte).
  • S3 API GetObject partial reads return the proper 206 Partial Content response code.
  • Copying from a non-existent key (or from a non-existent bucket) to another bucket now returns the proper NoSuchKey / NoSuchBucket response.
  • The S3 API now returns the proper Content-Type: application/xml response header on relevant endpoints.

R2

  • When using the S3 API, an empty string and us-east-1 will now alias to the auto region for compatibility with external tools.
  • GetBucketEncryption, PutBucketEncryption and DeleteBucketEncrypotion are now supported (the only supported value currently is AES256).
  • Unsupported operations are explicitly rejected as unimplemented rather than implicitly converting them into ListObjectsV2/PutBucket/DeleteBucket respectively.
  • S3 API CompleteMultipartUploads requests are now properly escaped.

R2

  • Pagination cursors are no longer returned when the keys in a bucket is the same as the MaxKeys argument.
  • The S3 API ListBuckets operation now accepts cf-max-keys, cf-start-after and cf-continuation-token headers behave the same as the respective URL parameters.
  • The S3 API ListBuckets and ListObjects endpoints now allow per_page to be 0.
  • The S3 API CopyObject source parameter now requires a leading slash.
