Durable Objects deployment status is now clear at a glance on the dashboard!

Cloudflare Changelog ★★★ View Markdown

Hi, it's me! I found a handy little dashboard update from Cloudflare today, so let me share it with you.

Cloudflare Changelog developers.cloudflare.com

What was announced?

According to the Cloudflare Changelog, Durable Object namespaces now have a new "Deployments" tab. It shows which Worker version is currently live behind the namespace, the traffic split across versions, and per-version metrics like request count, error rate, and wall time.

The story so far

A Durable Object namespace is backed by a Worker script, so its deployments follow the same lifecycle as that Worker's. Until now, though, checking on a gradual deployment in progress meant navigating away to the backing Worker's own page.

What changes

Now you can check deployment status directly from the Durable Object namespace screen. No more hopping over to the Worker page just to see how a gradual rollout is progressing.

One thing to note: the new tab is read-only. Promoting a version, rolling back, or adjusting the traffic split still has to be done from the backing Worker's Deployments tab.

Dive Deep

There's another quiet improvement here too: the Traffic % column. Previously it only showed the percentage you'd configured. Now it shows the actual, observed traffic share alongside that configured number.

This matters because each Durable Object gets pinned to whichever version it started on. So if you shift a deployment from 50/50 to 100%, the configured number updates instantly, but it takes time for real traffic to catch up — and until now there was no way to see how far along that shift actually was from the dashboard. Comparing "configured" against "actual" now makes that progress visible at a glance.

Wrap-up

  • Durable Object namespaces get a new Deployments tab
  • See per-version request count, error rate, and wall time right there
  • The tab is read-only (promote/rollback/traffic changes still happen on the Worker's tab)
  • The Traffic % column now shows actual observed traffic alongside the configured percentage
  • A nice pickup for anyone keeping a close eye on gradual deployments
