Cloudflare new tools, integrations make developing applications easy-to-use

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 16 -- Cloudflare Inc, the security, performance and reliability company helping to build a better Internet, has announced new tools and integrations to make developing applications simple, flexible, and fast.

“We are constantly investing in making the platform the fastest, most flexible, and easy to use serverless platform on the market,” said co-founder and chief executive officer of Cloudflare, Matthew Prince.

“That's why these new tools and partnerships are grounded in our belief that any developer in the world should be able to connect their data to build any type of application on Cloudflare, period.”

Now developers will be able to connect to their existing databases such as MySQL, MongoDB, Prisma, or Postgres alongside Cloudflare's own tools like Durable Objects to easily and intelligently store and access data at the edge.

This solves a major problem for developers–managing data–and makes it easier than ever to build any type of application, no matter the complexity, compliance requirements, or performance needs, according to a statement.

The promise of serverless computing is to allow developers to focus on writing code and solving challenges for their customers, without having to worry about configuring and managing infrastructure.

Cloudflare is making it easy for developers to connect their existing databases to Cloudflare Workers® and also allowing developers to use new and innovative data technologies to utilise data.

As developers continue to build increasingly complex applications, they require more ways to store and access their data from Cloudflare’s edge. Cloudflare is announcing three new ways for developers to utilise data in Cloudflare Workers.

First, Cloudflare is making Durable Objects generally available to all; second, Cloudflare announced new partnerships with MongoDB and Prisma to help developers expand their access to data from Cloudflare’s edge; and, finally, Cloudflare announced Database Connectors allowing developers to connect directly to classic relational databases, including MySQL and PostgreSQL.
