What

This is a performance pass driven by a 303-study CoRATES project on staging: 60,914 rows, a 13 MB bootstrap, and a hello-to-pokeStart time of 540–585 ms in the DO.

server 0.3.1

  • Frames from stored JSON: poke frames are assembled from stored row JSON (src/frames.ts). SQLite concatenates each op's text around the data column (PUT_OP_SQL / DEL_OP_SQL), and a part is a string join. No row is parsed and re-stringified any more; before, it was one parse plus two stringifies and a UTF-8 encode per row.
  • Bootstrap reuse: the bootstrap patch is cached on (backendId, currentVersion), so hellos that arrive together share one build. Any write moves the version.
  • Filter indexes: filtered tx.list creates a partial expression index per (table, field) on first use: json_extract(data, '$.field') WHERE tbl = '<table>'. The query inlines the table literal so SQLite can use the partial index. Admin reset gets a fresh store, so the indexes are recreated on use.

protocol 0.2.1

  • Put-op values are checked by shape (z.custom) instead of z.record, which copied every row value.

client 0.3.2

  • IndexedDBSyncStore.applyPoke writes rows in batches of 1,000. Each batch is queued from the previous batch's last request callback, so everything stays in one transaction.

Numbers (local workerd / node, 60,840 rows)

before after
cold hello, snapshot rebuilt 95 ms ~50 ms
cold hello, snapshot reused 95 ms 5 ms
5 concurrent cold hellos 474 ms 21 ms
mutation with a filtered tx.list 22 ms 1 ms
client parse + validate a bootstrap 48 ms 30 ms
client receive + apply a bootstrap 141 ms 128 ms

The benchmarks are opt-in:

  • server: CF_SYNC_BENCH=1 pnpm vitest run --project bench
  • client: CF_SYNC_BENCH=1 pnpm vitest run test/bench

Tests

  • New tests:
    • frame building and UTF-8 sizing against TextEncoder, and the part byte budget
    • frame output against serverMsgSchema
    • snapshot reuse invalidated by writes and deletes
    • filter index creation and query-plan use, including after admin reset
    • zero-copy put values, and non-object rejection
    • a 2,500-op IndexedDB poke across batch boundaries
  • Suites: protocol 59, server 147, yjs 43 and client 153 all pass, and pnpm check:packages passes.
  • Docs: ARCHITECTURE.md (wire protocol, filtered reads, frame budget, offline store) and the filtered-list note in docs/guide/defining-your-app.md are updated.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Performance

    • Sync updates are packed within a byte-based frame limit, and repeated bootstrap requests at the same data version can reuse a cached snapshot.
    • Client storage applies large row updates in batches.
    • Server-filtered reads create indexes on first use; admin resets remove these indexes, which are recreated when needed.
  • Validation

    • Sync updates reject values that are null, arrays, or non-objects.

…sion, index filtered lists — 0.3.1

A hello on a 60k-row workspace spent most of its time parsing every row and
stringifying it twice. SQLite now emits each op's JSON around the stored
data column and frames are string joins; the bootstrap patch is kept until
the data version or backend moves, so concurrent cold hellos share one
build. Filtered tx.list creates a partial expression index per (table,
field) on first use instead of scanning the table.

Local workerd, 60,840 rows: rebuilt snapshot hello 95 -> ~50 ms, reused
95 -> 5 ms, five concurrent cold hellos 474 -> 21 ms, filtered list
mutation 22 -> 1 ms. Opt-in bench: CF_SYNC_BENCH=1 pnpm vitest run --project bench

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Cg8oRyp7yS1VJhhxg7aV4z
z.record rebuilt every row value a poke carried, a second full copy of the
workspace on the client's main thread during bootstrap.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Cg8oRyp7yS1VJhhxg7aV4z
Each put structured-clones on the calling thread, so a bootstrap persisted
in one long task. Batches of 1,000 are queued from the previous batch's
last request callback, keeping one transaction. Adds an opt-in bootstrap
bench (CF_SYNC_BENCH=1 pnpm vitest run test/bench).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The server now packs patch operations by encoded UTF-8 size, builds poke frames through shared helpers, and caches bootstrap patches by backend and version. Filtered SQL reads create partial indexes. Client IndexedDB writes are batched, protocol put-value validation avoids copying values, and opt-in benchmarks cover client and server sync workloads.

Changes

Server poke construction

Layer / File(s) Summary
Patch operation encoding and byte packing
packages/server/src/frames.ts, packages/server/test/node/frames.test.ts, ARCHITECTURE.md
Patch operations are encoded and packed under a UTF-8 byte limit. Tests cover byte counts and packing, including multibyte text and empty input.
Poke frames and bootstrap reuse
packages/server/src/frames.ts, packages/server/src/do.ts, packages/server/test/node/frames.test.ts, packages/server/test/engine.test.ts, packages/server/package.json, ARCHITECTURE.md
WorkspaceDO uses packed patches and shared frame assembly for imports, resets, hello responses, and push confirmations. Bootstrap patches are reused while the backend ID and version remain unchanged. Tests cover frame contents and bootstrap snapshots.

Filtered-read indexes

Layer / File(s) Summary
Index creation, reset, and filtered-read guidance
packages/server/src/sql-row-store.ts, packages/server/test/list-where.test.ts, docs/guide/defining-your-app.md, ARCHITECTURE.md
Filtered SQL reads create partial expression indexes for valid table and field names. Tests check query-plan use and index recreation after reset. The guide distinguishes server SQL filtering from optimistic client collection scans.

IndexedDB row writes

Layer / File(s) Summary
Batched row writes and poke application
packages/client/src/idb-store.ts, packages/client/test/idb-store.test.ts, packages/client/package.json, ARCHITECTURE.md
applyPoke queues row operations in batches of up to 1,000 within the existing transaction. The test checks row results across batch boundaries.

Protocol put-value validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Put-value validation and tests
packages/protocol/src/messages.ts, packages/protocol/test/messages.test.ts, packages/protocol/package.json
patchOpSchema accepts non-null, non-array objects without validating or copying their contents. Tests check reference preservation and rejection of non-object values.

Opt-in sync benchmarks

Layer / File(s) Summary
Client bootstrap and server sync benchmarks
packages/client/test/bench/*, packages/client/vitest.config.ts, packages/server/test/bench/*, packages/server/vitest.config.ts
The client benchmark measures parsing, validation, bootstrap receipt, and hydration. The server benchmark measures import, hello, push, and post-write hello workloads. Both benchmark suites run through opt-in Vitest configuration.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Refactor

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1869a

Large workspace bootstraps may run out of memory, and applications using varied filter keys may incur growing index costs. Address those risks before merging unless their limits are explicitly accepted.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1869a

The performance changes introduce plausible workspace availability and client recovery risks. Their likely scope is a workspace or a client store, rather than every deployment. The benchmark does not appear to add a new administrator route, but production exposure of the test fixture is not established.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: Application-defined mutators that accept many distinct filter keys can cause first-use reads to create persistent SQLite indexes, increasing write and storage work within a workspace without an index-count bound.
  • Medium · reliability · inferred: The complete bootstrap is newly retained in the workspace object until a version or backend change. Per-part byte limits do not bound this aggregate resident allocation, which can increase memory pressure on large workspaces.
  • Medium · reliability · inferred: If a row operation throws synchronously when a later batch is issued from a request callback, the batch promise does not settle. The poke and subsequent operations queued on that client store can remain pending.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The index and snapshot resource risks are concentrated in the affected workspace object and its members. The pending-batch risk is concentrated in one IndexedDB store instance and operations queued on it.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A caller able to invoke an application mutator with freely chosen filter keys could make reads create many persistent indexes. The changed row store does not itself authorize callers or bound the number of distinct accepted keys; the demonstrated dynamic-key mutator is in a test fixture, not established as a production route.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Administrator forwarding requires the router's authorization verdict. The benchmark uses the fixture's preexisting test-header authorization, while production callback configuration and fixture deployment exposure are not established by the supplied sources.
  • observed — Incoming client frames pass JSON parsing and message validation before poke processing. A direct caller of the store's persistence API does not pass through that network boundary.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — A later-batch synchronous put failure can prevent cursor and outbox completion handling and block subsequent queued store work. A browser may abort the transaction, but aborting alone does not settle the pending batch promise.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Bound or explicitly govern the number of derived filter indexes an application can create, and bound or release retained bootstrap data according to a workspace memory budget.
  • proposed — Make callback-driven batch issuance settle and abort on synchronous failure, then verify that later store operations can proceed after a rejected poke.

In @packages/server/src/frames.ts:
- Around line 69-70: Update the byte accounting in packPatch: count the joining

- Line 39: Keep the `#indexed` cache consistent with SQL transaction rollback in
the `tx.list` filtered-query path: defer adding a key to `#indexed` until the

66-70: 🎯 Functional Correctness

The server’s receipt requirement cannot be determined from the available evidence. The initial inspection did not locate the server WebSocket handler, and the protocol excerpt only defines pokeEnd as a server message. Whether later pushes require a client receipt remains unresolved.

```

The filter runs in SQL on the server before rows are parsed and before rows are cloned on the client; it still walks the table, so a mutator that filters once per item in a large batch should build its own lookup up front.
On the server the filter runs in SQL, and each table and field you filter on gets an index the first time a list uses it, so a filtered read does not walk the table. The client's optimistic run still walks its collection, so a mutator that filters once per item in a large batch should build its own lookup up front.

Qualify the indexed-filter guarantee.

A field such as a-b does not pass FIELD_RE. SqlRowStore.list skips its SQL filter and index, then WriteSet filters the returned rows in JavaScript. State that automatic SQL indexes apply only to identifier-like field names; other fields can require a table scan.

🌐 Web query:

IndexedDB specification IDBObjectStore.put DataCloneError exception from success event handler transaction abort

💡 Result:

**A `DataCloneError` from `IDBObjectStore.put()` is not thrown from the request’s `success` handler.** It occurs when `put(value)` cannot structured-clone `value`; that call throws synchronously, before a request is successfully queued. [1]

A `success` handler can still cause a transaction to abort if it throws an *uncaught* exception in a way that reaches IndexedDB’s transaction-abort processing. But under the current IndexedDB 3.0 spec, throwing in a successful request’s event handler **does not by itself abort the transaction**. Check whether your handler is calling `transaction.abort()` or making another failing request; use the transaction’s `complete`/`abort` events to determine its final outcome. [2]

If you share the code and the exact error/stack, I can help identify which case is happening.

Reject synchronous put failures from next.

When operation 1001 contains a non-cloneable value, rowStore.put can throw while next runs from the previous batch's success handler. The exception does not abort the IndexedDB transaction. writeRows therefore remains pending, so applyPoke does not reach txnDone and the store queue remains blocked.

Incoming JSON pokes cannot contain non-cloneable values. Direct callers of the exported IndexedDBSyncStore can still provide one. Catch the synchronous error, abort the transaction explicitly, and reject the promise. Add a test for an invalid value in a later batch.

Bound bootstrap memory before caching or sending.

#bootstrapPatch retains the complete packed snapshot, and pokeFrames materializes one frame string per part. MAX_PART_PATCH_BYTES limits each part, not the total snapshot or frame sequence. The workspace has no aggregate row or snapshot limit, and its documented 128 MB Durable Object allocation can be exceeded by a large bootstrap plus cached parts and temporary SQL/frame strings.

The frame-array allocation existed before this change. The new risk is retaining the full packed snapshot and adding it to later bootstrap allocations. Stream bootstrap parts or enforce a total snapshot-byte limit before caching and frame assembly.

Count a comma only when a part needs one.

If an operation is exactly maxBytes long, packPatch throws OversizeItemError even though the operation fits alone. Calculate the separator cost from the current part, and recalculate it after starting a new part. Add an exact-boundary test.

Limit index creation to useful filter fields.

list creates a persistent index for every distinct identifier-like filter key, including keys absent from every row. Repeated lists with different keys can build many full-table indexes. Those indexes also increase the cost of later writes. Restrict automatic indexing to declared or explicitly selected fields, or impose a bound on index creation. Cloudflare documents additional storage writes for indexed rows. (developers.cloudflare.com)

Calculate the median of the two concurrent samples.

The concurrent run collects two timings. For distinct timings, median() returns the larger one, so the reported “median of 2” is not a median. Average the middle pair for an even number of samples, or collect three rounds.

…snapshots

The in-memory record of created filter indexes outlived a rolled-back
mutation that had created one, leaving that (table, field) unindexed until
eviction. Every filtered list now issues CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS, which
costs under a microsecond when the index exists; admin reset no longer
needs a fresh row store.

The cached bootstrap patch is released as soon as the data version or
backend moves instead of waiting for the next cold hello, so a large
workspace no longer holds tens of MB no hello can use.
