Cloudflare Workers Integration

2 posts · Sep 2023 – Feb 2026

What this trail covers

PlanetScale offers a native integration with Cloudflare Workers, enabling seamless connection to PlanetScale databases (Postgres and MySQL/Vitess). This integration leverages Cloudflare's Hyperdrive for connection pooling and caching, bringing database closer to users with edge caching and reducing latency. It aims to improve setup speed, performance, and reliability for globally distributed applications. This post details how the integration simplifies connecting Netlify applications to PlanetS

Feb 2026Faster PlanetScale Postgres connections with Cloudflare HyperdriveThis post details the integration of PlanetScale Postgres Metal with Cloudflare Hyperdrive and Workers to build a real-time prediction market application. It explains the architecture involving Cloudflare's global network, Hyperdrive for connection pooling and caching, Workers for application logic, and Durable Objects with WebSockets for real-time updates. Key technical decisions include using Hyperdrive for optimized database connections, placing Workers closer to users for reduced latency, and using Durable Objects as a notification layer rather than the write path to the database due to their single-threaded nature. It also discusses multi-environment setup for development and production, and the reliability contract between Postgres as the source of truth and WebSockets as a notification layer.
Sep 2025Partnering with Cloudflare to bring you the fastest globally distributed applicationsThis post announces a native integration between PlanetScale and Cloudflare Workers, leveraging Cloudflare's Hyperdrive for connection pooling and caching. It details how this integration reduces latency and improves performance for globally distributed applications by bringing the database closer to users via edge caching. The post outlines the steps to connect PlanetScale databases (Postgres and MySQL/Vitess) to Cloudflare Workers from both the Cloudflare and PlanetScale dashboards.
Sep 2023Streamline database management using the PlanetScale Netlify integrationThis post introduces the PlanetScale Netlify integration, which automates the connection of Netlify applications to PlanetScale databases. It eliminates the need for manual copying and pasting of connection strings by using OAuth for secure authentication and allowing users to select their desired database and branch. The integration supports assigning specific branches to different deploy contexts (production, deploy preview, local development) and works seamlessly with PlanetScale's Fetch API-compatible JavaScript driver, enabling database access from Netlify Functions.
