It's not as nice since when people join the server they have to issue a command or something to get their member role

IIRC role management is through the REST API

so webhook -> POST/PUT

vs a gateway bot that gets the notification of a new member via websocket

I had the same idea recently, but would this work? The DO would have to be just running indefinitely, without any external events. Would the websocket connection keep it alive for an unlimited time, once (I presume) it's triggered by a http or cron call, to start it up?

cron would kick it occasionally

yeah, that's what I was going to write now 😛

if maybe that's a solution

but that's pretty cool if things like this are possible

basically abusing workers meant to be in a server role, to act as clients 😄

I dunno what the cost is for a DO to stay alive, but it seems small

do websockets using durable objects have any throttling?

Probably you cant stream video/audio

Since webworkers have that limitation

But durable object multicast would rival twitches network

And reduce their 10second delay

To 1 or 2 if the user is across the world otherwise under 1

Hey Eidam - what's your use case here?

i feel like the only behaviour that can describe the issues im having is some kind of throttling with durable objects/websockets

is there a way to view whether youre hitting any limits?

@User in trying to reproduce that bug from a couple of weeks ago it always takes some time to have it recur so im of the mind it is hitting some kind of throttling limit

What are the issues you are having?

we send data through the websocket every second (maybe about 15kb of data)

it works fine for a while, maybe a couple of hours

then all of a sudden it will disconnect any websocket client connected

and reconnecting them it works for a while and it disconnects them

ive gone through the code and there are no errors (100% sure as nothing will throw) so it is something that is beyond the sight of what i have

and the behaviour is consistent with some kind of throttling

i tried to make a self contained worker for kenton to look at

but it wont recur it only recurs after a long time on a new worker
