Overview

Turn your existing regional database into a globally distributed database.

Available on Workers Paid plan

Hyperdrive is a service that accelerates queries you make to existing databases, making it faster to access your data from across the globe from Cloudflare Workers, irrespective of your users' location.

Hyperdrive supports any Postgres database, including those hosted on AWS, Google Cloud and Neon, as well as Postgres-compatible databases like CockroachDB and Timescale, with MySQL coming soon. You do not need to write new code or replace your favorite tools: Hyperdrive works with your existing code and tools you use.

Use Hyperdrive's connection string from your Cloudflare Workers application with your existing Postgres drivers and object-relational mapping (ORM) libraries:

Workers Binding API

index.ts
wrangler.jsonc

import postgres from 'postgres';

export default {
  async fetch(request, env, ctx): Promise<Response> {
    // Hyperdrive provides a unique generated connection string to connect to
    // your database via Hyperdrive that can be used with your existing tools
    const sql = postgres(env.HYPERDRIVE.connectionString);

      try {
        // Sample SQL query
        const results = await sql`SELECT * FROM pg_tables`;

        // Close the client after the response is returned
        ctx.waitUntil(sql.end());

        return Response.json(results);
      } catch (e) {
        return Response.json({ error: e instanceof Error ? e.message : e }, { status: 500 });
      }
    },
} satisfies ExportedHandler<{ HYPERDRIVE: Hyperdrive }>;
