D1: We turned it up to 11

What this post added

This post announces a major update to Cloudflare D1, its native serverless SQL database. Key contributions include: significant performance and scalability improvements with a new storage backend (up to 20x faster reads, 6.8-11x faster writes), enhanced developer experience with a new console interface, JSON function support, and location hints. It also outlines the pricing model, including an always-free tier and usage-based billing, and introduces 'Time Travel' for point-in-time recovery (last 30 days). This post marks a significant maturation of D1 from alpha to a more robust and performant offering.
