Was trying to hit

BulkCheck has the benefit that it spares you of that running-concurrently overhead, plus it comes with a bunch of optimizations that reduces the number of datastore queries.

09/25/2023, 1:58 PMare you planning to run this workload in production against SpiceDB Serverless or an OSS SpiceDB Deployment?

Basically I think the protobuf generated clients use node specific runtime libraries that are not in workerd runtime (which is what cloudflare uses). They do have some compatibility apis built in which just work, but the ones I remember of the top of my head that are missing are

cc @Sam in case you have any thoughts
