# Cloudflare Durable Objects Storage
Persistent storage API for Durable Objects with SQLite and KV backends, PITR, and automatic concurrency control.
## Overview
DO Storage provides:
- SQLite-backed (recommended) or KV-backed
- SQL API + synchronous/async KV APIs
- Automatic input/output gates (race-free)
- 30-day point-in-time recovery (PITR)
- Transactions and alarms
**Use cases:** Stateful coordination, real-time collaboration, counters, sessions, rate limiters
**Billing:** Charged by request, GB-month storage, and rowsRead/rowsWritten for SQL operations
## Quick Start
```typescript
export class Counter extends DurableObject {
sql: SqlStorage;
constructor(ctx: DurableObjectState, env: Env) {
super(ctx, env);
this.sql = ctx.storage.sql;
this.sql.exec('CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS data(key TEXT PRIMARY KEY, value INTEGER)');
}
async increment(): Promise<number> {
const result = this.sql.exec(
'INSERT INTO data VALUES (?, ?) ON CONFLICT(key) DO UPDATE SET value = value + 1 RETURNING value',
'counter', 1
).one();
return result?.value || 1;
}
}
```
## Storage Backends
| Backend | Create Method | APIs | PITR |
|---------|---------------|------|------|
| SQLite (recommended) | `new_sqlite_classes` | SQL + sync KV + async KV | ✅ |
| KV (legacy) | `new_classes` | async KV only | ❌ |
## Core APIs
- **SQL API** (`ctx.storage.sql`): Full SQLite with extensions (FTS5, JSON, math)
- **Sync KV** (`ctx.storage.kv`): Synchronous key-value (SQLite only)
- **Async KV** (`ctx.storage`): Asynchronous key-value (both backends)
- **Transactions** (`transactionSync()`, `transaction()`)
- **PITR** (`getBookmarkForTime()`, `onNextSessionRestoreBookmark()`)
- **Alarms** (`setAlarm()`, `alarm()` handler)
