Cloudflare FAQs

Is Cloudflare D1 fast enough?

For personal and small-team use, yes. D1 has ~50ms read latency from the edge. Writes are batched and replicated. For high-throughput workloads, consider AWS DynamoDB or Postgres.

Does R2 charge for egress?

No — R2 has zero egress fees. This is a major advantage over AWS S3 for data-heavy workloads.

Can I use Cloudflare Workers to host Docket itself?

Not directly. Docket is a Node.js server. You can deploy it on a VPS or use Cloudflare's Docker hosting. Workers can act as a lightweight proxy or cache layer in front of Docket.

What if I exceed Workers AI free tier?

You'll receive an HTTP 429 error. Docket will retry with exponential backoff. Upgrade to Workers AI paid tier for higher limits.

Can I mix Cloudflare and local adapters?

Yes. For example, use Cloudflare Workers AI for LLM/embedder but keep SQLite locally for storage:

docket:
  adapters:
    llm:
      default: "cloudflare-workers-ai"
    embedder:
      default: "cloudflare-workers-ai"
    store:
      default: "sqlite"  # local

Is my data encrypted?

D1: Encrypted at rest by Cloudflare
R2: Encrypted at rest by Cloudflare
In transit: All Cloudflare APIs use TLS
