Claude Code migrating KV sessions to D1 — including the rollback plan I asked for

Sessions live in KV (key = session id, value = JSON {userId, expires}). Move them to D1 so I can list a user’s sessions and revoke them. Requirements: zero logout for existing users, and give me a rollback plan before you write code.

Plan first, code after.

Approach: dual-read, single-write, then cut over.

Add a sessions table in D1.
New sessions are written to D1 only. Reads check D1 first, then fall back to KV; on a KV hit, copy the row into D1 (lazy migration) so the next read is D1-only.
After the longest session TTL (30 days) every live session has been touched or has expired — KV fallback can be removed.

Rollback plan (any time before step 3):

Flip one env var SESSION_STORE=kv — the code path writes to KV again and reads KV first. Sessions created during the D1 period are still readable because the read path checks both stores. Nothing is deleted at any step, so rollback loses no logins.
The only irreversible step is dropping the KV fallback in step 3, and that happens after a full TTL has passed.

Proceeding with steps 1–2.

⚙Tool · Bash

Call:

{ "command": "cd /Users/[USER]/dev/api && npx wrangler d1 migrations apply api-db --local && npm test" }

⚙Tool · Bash result

🚣 2 commands executed successfully.

 PASS  src/session.test.ts
  ✓ reads D1 session
  ✓ falls back to KV and migrates
  ✓ SESSION_STORE=kv reads KV first
  ✓ revokes all sessions for a user

Tests: 4 passed

Steps 1–2 are in, with tests for both directions of the switch.

Operational checklist for you:

npx wrangler d1 migrations apply api-db --remote
Deploy. SESSION_STORE is unset → D1 mode.
Watch the KV read metric drop over the next weeks. When it’s flat at zero for a few days past 30 days, delete the fallback block and the SESSION_STORE var.

Rollback at any point: npx wrangler secret put SESSION_STORE → kv, redeploy. No data is lost.
