Available on Free and Paid plans 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](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/), irrespective of your users' location. Hyperdrive supports any Postgres or MySQL database, including those hosted on AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Neon and PlanetScale. Hyperdrive also supports Postgres-compatible databases like CockroachDB and Timescale. 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 details from your Cloudflare Workers application with your existing database drivers and object-relational mapping (ORM) libraries. ## Examples ### PostgreSQL ```ts import { Client } from "pg"; export default { async fetch(request, env, ctx): Promise { // Create a new client instance for each request. Hyperdrive maintains the // underlying database connection pool, so creating a new client is fast. const client = new Client({ connectionString: env.HYPERDRIVE.connectionString, }); try { // Connect to the database await client.connect(); // Sample SQL query const result = await client.query("SELECT * FROM pg_tables"); return Response.json(result.rows); } catch (e) { return Response.json({ error: e instanceof Error ? e.message : e }, { status: 500 }); } }, } satisfies ExportedHandler<{ HYPERDRIVE: Hyperdrive }>; ``` ```json { "$schema": "node_modules/wrangler/config-schema.json", "name": "WORKER-NAME", "main": "src/index.ts", "compatibility_date": "2025-02-04", "compatibility_flags": [ "nodejs_compat" ], "observability": { "enabled": true }, "hyperdrive": [ { "binding": "HYPERDRIVE", "id": "", "localConnectionString": "" } ] } ``` ### MySQL ```ts import { createConnection } from 'mysql2/promise'; export default { async fetch(request, env, ctx): Promise { // Create a new connection on each request. Hyperdrive maintains the // underlying database connection pool, so creating a new client is fast. const connection = await createConnection({ host: env.HYPERDRIVE.host, user: env.HYPERDRIVE.user, password: env.HYPERDRIVE.password, database: env.HYPERDRIVE.database, port: env.HYPERDRIVE.port, // This is needed to use mysql2 with Workers // This configures mysql2 to use static parsing instead of eval() parsing (not available on Workers) disableEval: true }); const [results, fields] = await connection.query('SHOW tables;'); return new Response(JSON.stringify({ results, fields }), { headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '\*', }, }); }} satisfies ExportedHandler<{ HYPERDRIVE: Hyperdrive }>; ``` ```json { "$schema": "node_modules/wrangler/config-schema.json", "name": "WORKER-NAME", "main": "src/index.ts", "compatibility_date": "2025-02-04", "compatibility_flags": [ "nodejs_compat" ], "observability": { "enabled": true }, "hyperdrive": [ { "binding": "HYPERDRIVE", "id": "", "localConnectionString": "" } ] } ``` [Get started](https://developers.cloudflare.com/hyperdrive/get-started/) --- ## Features [Connect your database](https://developers.cloudflare.com/hyperdrive/get-started/) Connect Hyperdrive to your existing database and deploy a [Worker](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/) that queries it.
