The cache rollout improves one path while first requests fail on another.
A rollback protects application continuity, while an admission guard protects isolate capacity and deployment safety.
Who you’d be doing this for
“Our first requests started failing after lunch, and now my on-call channel is full of retry logs.”

Runs a customer-facing API on Workers with Durable Objects for session state.
What is at stake
Cold-start failures rose from 2.8 to 28 per 10,000 requests in one location group. You have to weigh a quick rollback against protecting isolate capacity with a stricter admission guard.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- cold-start recovery vs. cache rollout continuity
- runtime compatibility vs. isolate protection
- fast mitigation vs. durable guardrail
Why Cloudflare
Workers and Durable Objects place application state and request execution on the same global edge surface.

This is the setup. The work is inside.
Running it puts you in the room: the full situation and its constraints, stakeholders who push back in their own words, and the decisions that are yours to make. What you produce becomes a Day One Plan — work you can show someone instead of describing.
