Does this skill support MySQL?

Yes, Cloudflare Hyperdrive supports both PostgreSQL (versions 9.0-17.x) and MySQL (versions 5.7-8.x) including MariaDB support.

Do I need a paid Cloudflare plan to use Hyperdrive?

No, Hyperdrive is available on the Cloudflare Free plan, allowing for up to 10 distinct configurations per account.

Why is the nodejs_compat flag required?

Standard database drivers like 'pg' and 'mysql2' rely on specific Node.js APIs that are only available in the Workers environment when the nodejs_compat compatibility flag is enabled.

Can I use Hyperdrive with Prisma ORM?

Yes, Hyperdrive is compatible with Prisma using the Prisma driver adapters for PostgreSQL, which allow you to route traffic through the Hyperdrive binding.

How does Hyperdrive improve database latency?

It reduces latency by keeping connection pools physically near your database and caching queries at the edge, which can eliminate up to seven connection round trips (TCP, TLS, and Auth).

Cloud Infrastructure

Optimizes database connections for Cloudflare Workers by providing global connection pooling and low-latency query caching for PostgreSQL and MySQL.

About

The Cloudflare Hyperdrive skill provides domain-specific guidance for connecting Cloudflare Workers to existing PostgreSQL and MySQL databases with enterprise-grade performance. It streamlines the setup of connection pools, configures regional query caching to reduce latency, and ensures compatibility with modern database drivers and ORMs like Drizzle and Prisma. By following these patterns, developers can eliminate connection bottlenecks and resolve common errors related to TLS, nodejs_compat, and eval() restrictions in the Workers environment.

Key Features

Global connection pooling for PostgreSQL and MySQL
Regional query caching for accelerated read performance
Automated configuration for nodejs_compat and wrangler bindings
Pre-configured patterns for Drizzle and Prisma ORM integration
Private database access support via Cloudflare Tunnel
91 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Reducing database query latency for globally distributed serverless applications
Connecting serverless Workers to legacy SQL databases without exhausting connection limits
Implementing secure, pooled database access for high-traffic Prisma or Drizzle projects
