I really appreciate you taking the time to provide this context!
Intuitively I had a rough idea around why this was both a) a blocking issue ("why can't we just YOLO-try some version of it anyways?" came up at least a couple times on our side internally during alpha evaluation) and b) a hard issue, but I didn't know the details re: SQLite being single-writer specific (at least for the time being).
Valuable for my own knowledge, in addition to being useful re: understanding the steps involved for Cloudflare to enable this in the future.
I was already excited about Smart Placement regardless, but now doubly so knowing it is adjacent to what will enable a more generic solution for D1. We used DOs very heavily on the project I mentioned in my previous post, but as you call out, they are more complex to reason about, and in practice it limited who could work on them effectively on our team.
I always appreciate your comments in Worker / DO-related threads here on HN and have found them very insightful / helpful in learning more about what's under the hood! Thanks for taking the time to continue posting here - I know there's lots to do elsewhere.
