The primary method involves validating a Cloudflare API token through the <code>cf-aig-authorization</code> header, ensuring the token is valid for the connecting account and gateway. </p><p>However, due to limitations in browser WebSocket implementations, we also support authentication via the “sec-websocket-protocol” header. Browser WebSocket clients don&#39;t allow for custom headers in their standard API, complicating the addition of authentication tokens in requests. While we don’t recommend that you store API keys in a browser, we decided to add this method to add more flexibility to all WebSocket clients.</p>\n <pre class=\"language-javascript\"><code class=\"language-javascript\">// Built-in WebSocket client in browsers\nconst socket = new WebSocket(&quot;wss://gateway.ai.cloudflare.com/v1/my-account-id/my-gateway/&quot;, [\n &quot;cf-aig-authorization.${AI_GATEWAY_TOKEN}&quot;\n]);\n\n\n// ws npm package\nimport WebSocket from &quot;ws&quot;;\nconst ws = new WebSocket(&quot;wss://gateway.ai.cloudflare.com/v1/my-account-id/my-gateway/&quot;,{\n headers: {\n &quot;cf-aig-authorization&quot;: &quot;Bearer AI_GATEWAY_TOKEN&quot;,\n },\n});\n</pre></code>\n <p>After this initial verification step, we upgrade the connection to the Durable Object, meaning that it will now handle all the messages for the connection. Before the new connection is fully accepted, we generate a random UUID, so this connection is identifiable among all the messages received by the Durable Object. During an open connection, any AI Gateway settings passed via headers — such as <code>cf-aig-skip-cache</code> (<a href=\"https://developers.cloudflare.com/ai-gateway/configuration/caching/#skip-cache-cf-skip-cache\"><u>which bypasses caching when set to true</u></a>) — are stored and applied to all requests in the session.

On Cloudflare, we have both Users and Accounts, and they mean different things, but sometimes look similar. Users are people, and they sign in with an email address. Accounts are not people, they’re the top-level bucket we use to organize all the resources you use on Cloudflare. Accounts can have many users, and that’s how we enable collaboration. If you use Cloudflare for your personal projects, both your User and Account might have your email address as the name, but if you use Cloudflare as a company, the difference is more apparent because your user is “<a href=\"mailto:joe.smith@example.com\"><u>joe.smith@example.com</u></a>” and the account might be “Example Company”. </p>\n <figure class=\"kg-card kg-image-card\">\n <Image src=\"https://cf-assets.www.cloudflare.com/zkvhlag99gkb/5tcNkxDjYz9jAXnfV0bPON/920a9dade7145de2adee21afa43d786e/image13.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"kg-image\" width=\"1836\" height=\"1225\" loading=\"lazy\"/>\n </figure><p>Account Owned Tokens are not confined by the permissions of the creating user (e.g. a user can never make a token that can edit a field that they otherwise couldn’t edit themselves) and are scoped to the account they are owned by.

All of the actions this compliance workflow does are now attributed to joe.smith, and if joe.smith leaves the company and his permissions are revoked, the compliance workflow fails.</p><p>With this new release, an Account Owned Token could be created, named “compliance workflow”, with permissions to do this operation independently of <a href=\"mailto:joe.smith@example.com\"><u>joe.smith@example.com</u></a>.

In addition, this guards against any user lifecycle events affecting the service. If the employee that owns the token for your service leaves the company, the service’s token will no longer be based on their permissions.</p><p>2.<b> Cloudflare accounts running any services that need attestable access records beyond user membership:</b> By restricting all of your users from being able to access the API, and consolidating all usable tokens to a single list at the account level, you can ensure that a complete list of all API access can be found in a single place on the dashboard, under “Account API Tokens”.</p>\n <figure class=\"kg-card kg-image-card\">\n <Image src=\"https://cf-assets.www.cloudflare.com/zkvhlag99gkb/2qtssh6bef5Ne6kugqUUnc/af11e3db733f4f38188988ac42034c26/image9.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"kg-image\" width=\"1379\" height=\"252\" loading=\"lazy\"/>\n </figure><p>3. <b>Anywhere you’ve created “Service Users”:</b> “Service Users”, or any identity that is meant to allow multiple people to access Cloudflare, are an active threat surface.

For such tools you can still create your own custom actions, just like before. Custom actions allow you to configure specific events to send data to your tools based on unique triggers. The process remains the same, and you can follow the detailed steps outlined in our<a href=\"https://developers.cloudflare.com/zaraz/get-started/create-actions/\"> <u>Create Actions guide</u></a>. Remember to set up your trigger first, or choose an existing one, before configuring the action.</p><h4>Automatically enrich your payload</h4><p>When creating a custom action, it is now easier to send Event Properties using the <b>Include Event Properties field.</b> When this is toggled on, you can automatically send client-specific data with each action, such as user behavior or interaction details. For example, to send an <code>userID</code> property when sending a <code>click</code> event you can do something like this: <code>zaraz.track(‘click’, { userID: “foo” })</code>.</p><p>Additionally, you can enable the <b>Include System Properties</b> option to send system-level information, such as browser, operating system, and more. In your action settings click on “Add Field”, pick the “Include System Properties”, click on confirm and then toggle the field on. </p><p>For a full list of system properties, visit our<a href=\"https://developers.cloudflare.com/zaraz/reference/context/\"> <u>System Properties reference guide</u></a>.

We wanted to support the same experience that we had achieved with Pages, which led to these key requirements:</p><ol><li><p>Builds should be initiated with minimal latency.</p></li><li><p>The status of a build should be tracked and displayed through its entire lifecycle, starting when a user pushes a commit.</p></li><li><p>Customer build logs should be stored in a secure, private, and long-lived way.</p></li></ol><p>To solve these problems, we leaned heavily into the technology of <a href=\"https://developers.cloudflare.com/durable-objects/\"><u>Durable Objects</u></a> (DO). </p><p>We created a Build Management Worker with two DO classes: A Scheduler class to manage the scheduling of builds, and a class called BuildBuddy to manage individual builds. We chose to design our system this way for an efficient and scalable system. Since each build is assigned its own build manager DO, its operation won’t ever block other builds or the scheduler, meaning we can start up builds with minimal latency. Below, we dive into each of these Durable Objects classes.</p>\n <figure class=\"kg-card kg-image-card\">\n <Image src=\"https://cf-assets.www.cloudflare.com/zkvhlag99gkb/6RUDJI7IYIlzcX4qjF9EYY/7e959b7a4489a41d275d74d634389f31/BLOG-2594_4.png\" alt=\"BLOG-2594 4\" class=\"kg-image\" width=\"1999\" height=\"1109\" loading=\"lazy\"/>\n </figure><h4>Scheduler DO</h4><p>The Scheduler DO class is relatively simple. Using <a href=\"https://developers.cloudflare.com/durable-objects/api/alarms/\"><u>Durable Objects Alarms</u></a>, it is triggered every second to pull up a list of user build configurations that are ready to be started. For each of those builds, the Scheduler creates an instance of our other DO Class, the Build Buddy. </p>\n <pre class=\"language-javascript\"><code class=\"language-javascript\">import { DurableObject } from &#039;cloudflare:workers&#039;\n\n\nexport class BuildScheduler extends DurableObject {\n state: DurableObjectState\n env: Bindings\n\n\n constructor(ctx: DurableObjectState, env: Bindings) {\n super(ctx, env)\n }\n \n // The DO alarm handler will be called every second to fetch builds\n async alarm(): Promise&lt;void&gt; {\n// set alarm to run again in 1 second\n await this.updateAlarm()\n\n\n const builds = await this.getBuildsToSchedule()\n await this.scheduleBuilds(builds)\n }\n\n\n async scheduleBuilds(builds: Builds[]): Promise&lt;void&gt; {\n // Don&#039;t schedule builds, if no builds to schedule\n if (builds.length === 0) return\n\n\n const queue = new PQueue({ concurrency: 6 })\n // Begin running builds\n builds.forEach((build) =&gt;\n queue.add(async () =&gt; {\n \t // The BuildBuddy is another DO described more in the next section! \n const bb = getBuildBuddy(this.env, build.build_id)\n await bb.startBuild(build)\n })\n )\n\n\n await queue.onIdle()\n }\n\n\n async getBuildsToSchedule(): Promise&lt;Builds[]&gt; {\n // returns list of builds to schedule\n }\n\n\n async updateAlarm(): Promise&lt;void&gt; {\n// We want to ensure we aren&#039;t running multiple alarms at once, so we only set the next alarm if there isn’t already one set. \n const existingAlarm = await this.ctx.storage.getAlarm()\n if (existingAlarm === null) {\n this.ctx.storage.setAlarm(Date.now() + 1000)\n }\n }\n}\n</pre></code>\n <h4>Build Buddy DO</h4><p>The Build Buddy DO class is what we use to manage each individual build from the time it begins initializing to when it is stopped. Every build has a buddy for life!</p><p>Upon creation of a Build Buddy DO instance, the Scheduler immediately calls <code>startBuild()</code> on the instance. The <code>startBuild()</code> method is responsible for fetching all metadata and secrets needed to run a build, and then kicking off a build on Cloudflare’s container platform (<a href=\"https://blog.cloudflare.com/container-platform-preview/\"><u>not public yet, but coming soon</u></a>!). </p><p>As the containerized build runs, it reports back to the Build Buddy, sending status updates and logs for the Build Buddy to deal with. </p><h5>Build status</h5><p>As a build progresses, it reports its own status back to Build Buddy, sending updates when it has finished initializing, has completed successfully, or been terminated by the user. The Build Buddy is responsible for handling this incoming information from the containerized build, writing status updates to the database (via a Hyperdrive binding) so that users can see the status of their build in the Cloudflare dashboard.</p><h5>Build logs</h5><p>A running build generates output logs that are important to store and surface to the user. The containerized build flushes these logs to the Build Buddy every second, which, in turn, stores those logs in <a href=\"https://developers.cloudflare.com/durable-objects/api/storage-api/\"><u>DO storage</u></a>. </p><p>The decision to use Durable Object storage here makes it easy to multicast logs to multiple clients efficiently, and allows us to use the same API for both streaming logs and viewing historical logs. </p><p>// build-management-app.ts</p>\n <pre class=\"language-javascript\"><code class=\"language-javascript\">// We created a Hono app to for use by our Client Worker API\nconst app = new Hono&lt;HonoContext&gt;()\n .post(\n &#039;/api/builds/:build_uuid/status&#039;,\n async (c) =&gt; {\n const buildStatus = await c.req.json()\n\n\n // fetch build metadata\n const build = ...\n\n\n const bb = getBuildBuddy(c.env, build.build_id)\n return await bb.handleStatusUpdate(build, statusUpdate)\n }\n )\n .post(\n &#039;/api/builds/:build_uuid/logs&#039;,\n async (c) =&gt; {\n const logs = await c.req.json()\n // fetch build metadata\n const build = ...\n\n\n const bb = getBuildBuddy(c.env, build.build_id)\n return await bb.addLogLines(logs.lines)\n }\n )\n\n\nexport default {\n fetch: app.fetch\n}\n</pre></code>\n <p>// build-buddy.ts</p>\n <pre class=\"language-javascript\"><code class=\"language-javascript\">import { DurableObject } from &#039;cloudflare:workers&#039;\n\n\nexport class BuildBuddy extends DurableObject {\n compute: WorkersBuildsCompute\n\n\n constructor(ctx: DurableObjectState, env: Bindings) {\n super(ctx, env)\n this.compute = new ComputeClient({\n // ...\n })\n }\n\n\n // The Scheduler DO calls startBuild upon creating a BuildBuddy instance\n startBuild(build: Build): void {\n this.startBuildAsync(build) \n }\n\n\n async startBuildAsync(build: Build): Promise&lt;void&gt; {\n // fetch all necessary metadata build, including\n\t// environment variables, secrets, build tokens, repo credentials, \n// build image URI, etc\n\t// ...\n\n\n\t// start a containerized build\n const computeBuild = await this.compute.createBuild({\n // ...\n })\n }\n\n\n // The Build Management worker calls handleStatusUpdate when it receives an update\n // from the containerized build\n async handleStatusUpdate(\n build: Build,\n buildStatusUpdatePayload: Payload\n ): Promise&lt;void&gt; {\n// Write status updates to the database\n }\n\n\n // The Build Management worker calls addLogLines when it receives flushed logs\n // from the containerized build\n async addLogLines(logs: LogLines): Promise&lt;void&gt; {\n // Generate nextLogsKey to store logs under \n this.ctx.storage.put(nextLogsKey, logs)\n }\n\n\n // The Client Worker can call methods on a Build Buddy via RPC, using a service binding to the Build Management Worker.\n // The getLogs method retrieves logs for the user, and the cancelBuild method forwards a request from the user to terminate a build. \n async getLogs(cursor: string){\n const decodedCursor = cursor !== undefined ?

In our initial <i>v1 </i>architecture, each Queue was implemented using a single Durable Object. As shown below, clients would send messages to a Worker running in their region, which would be forwarded to the single Durable Object hosted in the WNAM (Western North America) region. We used a single Durable Object for simplicity, and hosted it in WNAM for proximity to our centralized configuration API service.</p>\n <figure class=\"kg-card kg-image-card\">\n <Image src=\"https://cf-assets.www.cloudflare.com/zkvhlag99gkb/yxj5Gut3usYa0mFbRddXU/881f5905f789bc2f910ee1b2dcadac92/image1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"kg-image\" width=\"1999\" height=\"1100\" loading=\"lazy\"/>\n </figure><p>One of a Queue&#39;s main responsibilities is to accept and store incoming messages.

Instead of a single region, we place <i>Storage Shard </i>Durable Objects in <a href=\"https://developers.cloudflare.com/durable-objects/reference/data-location/#supported-locations-1\"><u>all available regions</u></a> to enable lower latency. Within each region, we create multiple Storage Shards and load balance incoming requests amongst them.

A single Durable Object can only perform a limited number of concurrent subrequests. In v1 Queues, this limited the number of concurrent subrequests we could make to our Dispatcher Worker. To work around this, we created a new <i>Consumer Shard</i> Durable Object class that we can scale horizontally, enabling us to execute many more concurrent instances of our users&#39; <code>queue()</code> handlers.</p>\n <figure class=\"kg-card kg-image-card\">\n <Image src=\"https://cf-assets.www.cloudflare.com/zkvhlag99gkb/2ujodUVBegDcWXi6DYJR41/5f31ba4da387df82613a496ff311f65f/image3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"kg-image\" width=\"1999\" height=\"1243\" loading=\"lazy\"/>\n </figure><p>Consumer Durable Objects in v2 Queues use the following approach:</p><ul><li><p>Each Consumer maintains an alarm that guarantees it will wake up to process any pending messages. <i>v2 </i>Consumers are notified by the Queue&#39;s <i>Coordinator </i>(introduced below) when there are messages ready for consumption.

The other main piece of a v2 Queue is the &quot;Control Plane&quot;, which handles creating and managing all the individual Durable Objects in the system. In our v2 architecture, each Queue has a single <i>Coordinator</i> Durable Object that acts as the brain of the Queue. Requests to create a Queue, or change its settings, are sent to the Queue&#39;s Coordinator.</p>\n <figure class=\"kg-card kg-image-card\">\n <Image src=\"https://cf-assets.www.cloudflare.com/zkvhlag99gkb/7lYJs23oJ8ibtGgbuOk9JN/7ffa8073a4391602b67a0c6e134975bc/image7.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"kg-image\" width=\"1999\" height=\"1100\" loading=\"lazy\"/>\n </figure><p>The Coordinator maintains a <i>Shard Map</i> for the Queue, which includes metadata about all the Durable Objects in the Queue (including their region, number of available messages, current estimated load, etc.). The Coordinator periodically writes a fresh copy of the Shard Map into Workers KV, as pictured in step 1 of the diagram. Placing the shard map into Workers KV ensures that it is globally cached and available for our Worker to read quickly, so that it can pick a shard to accept the message.</p><p>Every shard in the system periodically sends a heartbeat to the Coordinator as shown in steps 2 and 3 of the diagram. Both Storage Shards and Consumer Shards send heartbeats, including information like the number of messages stored locally, and the current load (requests per second) that the shard is handling. The Coordinator uses this information to perform <b><i>autoscaling. </i></b>When it detects that the shards in a particular region are overloaded, it creates additional shards in the region, and adds them to the shard map in Workers KV. Our Worker sees the updated shard map and naturally load balances messages across the freshly added shards. Similarly, the Coordinator looks at the backlog of available messages in the Queue, and decides to add more Consumer shards to increase Consumer throughput when the backlog is growing. Consumer Shards pull messages from Storage Shards for processing as shown in step 4 of the diagram.</p><p>Switching to a new scalable architecture allowed us to meet our performance goals and take Queues to GA. As a recap, this new architecture delivered these significant improvements:</p><ul><li><p>P50 latency for writing to a Queue has dropped from ~200ms to ~60ms.</p></li><li><p>Maximum throughput for a Queue has increased from 400 to 5000 messages per second.</p></li><li><p>Maximum consumer concurrency has increased from 20 to 250 invocations.\t</p></li></ul>\n <div class=\"flex anchor relative\">\n <h3 id=\"whats-next-for-queues\">What's next for Queues</h3>\n <a href=\"#whats-next-for-queues\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"relative sm:absolute sm:-left-5\">\n <svg width=\"16\" height=\"16\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path fill=\"currentcolor\" d=\"m12.11 15.39-3.88 3.88a2.52 2.52 0 0 1-3.5 0 2.47 2.47 0 0 1 0-3.5l3.88-3.88a1 1 0 0 0-1.42-1.42l-3.88 3.89a4.48 4.48 0 0 0 6.33 6.33l3.89-3.88a1 1 0 1 0-1.42-1.42Zm8.58-12.08a4.49 4.49 0 0 0-6.33 0l-3.89 3.88a1 1 0 0 0 1.42 1.42l3.88-3.88a2.52 2.52 0 0 1 3.5 0 2.47 2.47 0 0 1 0 3.5l-3.88 3.88a1 1 0 1 0 1.42 1.42l3.88-3.89a4.49 4.49 0 0 0 0-6.33ZM8.83 15.17a1 1 0 0 0 1.1.22 1 1 0 0 0 .32-.22l4.92-4.92a1 1 0 0 0-1.42-1.42l-4.92 4.92a1 1 0 0 0 0 1.42Z\"></path></svg>\n </a>\n </div>\n <ul><li><p>We plan on leveraging the performance improvements in the new <a href=\"https://developers.cloudflare.com/durable-objects/\"><u>beta version of Durable Objects</u></a> which use SQLite to continue to improve throughput/latency in Queues.</p></li><li><p>We will soon be adding message management features to Queues so that you can take actions to purge messages in a queue, pause consumption of messages, or “redrive”/move messages from one queue to another (for example messages that have been sent to a Dead Letter Queue could be “redriven” or moved back to the original queue).</p></li><li><p>Work to make Queues the &quot;event hub&quot; for the Cloudflare Developer Platform:</p><ul><li><p>Create a low-friction way for events emitted from other Cloudflare services with event schemas to be sent to Queues.</p></li><li><p>Build multi-Consumer support for Queues so that Queues are no longer limited to one Consumer per queue.</p></li></ul></li></ul><p>To start using Queues, head over to our <a href=\"https://developers.cloudflare.com/queues/get-started/\"><u>Getting Started</u></a> guide. </p><p>Do distributed systems like Cloudflare Queues and Durable Objects interest you?
