Love the Northwind Traders reference! However, for a demo, I suggest a slightly larger and more complex data set, [data-generator-retail]( https://www.npmjs.com/package/data-generator-retail ). The demo is also a bit buggy: orders are duplicated as many times as there are products, but clicking on the various lines of the same order leads to the same record, where the user can only see the first product... I also thi…
Big fan of Cloudflare but I wish they would stick to descriptive product names. Good: Workers, KV, Durable Objects, Cron Triggers Bad: Spectrum, Zaraz, R2, D1
> Zaraz
That's the name of the company they acquired. Though, I do agree that more descriptive naming is nice.
E.g.
Zaraz = SafeXXS
D1 = LDS (light database system)
R2 = ObjectStore
Spectrum = Reverse Proxy
Earlier quoted context omitted.
> I'm guessing this is a single master database with multiple read replicas. That means it's not consistent Single master with read replicas is fully consistent if commits don't return until propagated to and acknowledged by replicas (the expense here being commit latency.)
You've basically described rqlite [1], which uses Raft to coordinate the changes to the Leader, and then across some number of Followers. The write won't be acked until a quorum has persisted the change, and committed to the underlying SQLite database. Disclaimer: I am the creator of rqlite. [1] https://github.com/rqlite/rqlite

For a Cloudflare article, this one is surprisingly light on technical details. And for the product where it most matters. I'm guessing this is a single master database with multiple read replicas. That means it's not consistent anymore (the C in ACID). Obviously reads after a write will see stale data until the write propogates. I'm a bit curious how that replication works. Ship the whole db? Binary diffs of the mast…
In fact, I don't see anything D1 is doing that is not already offered by something like rqlite[1], which is also a super-easy-to-use distributed database built on SQLite. Of course Cloudflare will run the database for you, which is a great help -- they take care of the uptime, monitoring, backups, etc. And that's important obviously, because in the real-world databases must be operated.

Any current or planned support for existing ORMs, such as Prisma or TypeOrm? Also, I wonder how hard it will be to migrate existing PostgreSQL databases and SQL statements. Of course, I understand if Cloudflare is focused on greenfield applications.
We are definitely interested in ORMs. Want to make it easy to use. I hope someone creates the next Rails using Workers. And having other models on top of our SQL offerings will be important. Get in contact and let us know what you'd like.
Deno can compile to wasm, so it can plug in through that vertical. But it's just TS on the frontend.
I'm mainly a python programmer, but Deno's been the most alluring development in the JS ecosystem since typescript for me. Might be helpful to you all to capture some steam from source.
