Cloudflare avoiding centralized bottlenecks in D1's control plane is the interesting part. Retries and idempotency only work if the operations themselves are safe to repeat. That's a design decision upstream of any infrastructure choice.

PHP has no workaround for CVE-2026-111497. OpenAI's advice is to turn off automatic Brotli decompression, but disabling br in Accept-Encoding alone doesn't stop a server from sending it. In Guzzle that means decode_content false, which also leaves gzip compressed.
