Cloudflare Revolutionises Database Performance With Hyperdrive

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 29 (Bernama) -- Cloudflare Inc, the connectivity cloud company, announced Hyperdrive to make every local database global, turning existing regional databases into globally distributed ones for faster access to data.

According to a statement, developers can easily build globally distributed applications on Cloudflare Workers, the serverless developer platform used by over one million developers, without being constrained by their existing infrastructure.

“Hyperdrive represents the best part of a connectivity cloud, it expands the types of apps that can be built on Cloudflare, and opens the door for developers that previously felt locked into their databases,” said its chief executive officer and co-founder, Matthew Prince.

With Hyperdrive, developers can build globally distributed applications on Cloudflare Workers that are not held back by their existing regional database infrastructure.

Hyperdrive automatically caches the most popular queries within Cloudflare’s network, allowing developers to serve responses within a few milliseconds, not hundreds, as if the database was located close to the end user.

Cloudflare Workers is the only global serverless provider with this built into the application development platform, while Hyperdrive works with the existing database tools developers use today.

Hyperdrive enables database connection pooling to Workers; caches the most popular queries to a database; and supports a wide range of the most popular database providers.

Cloudflare Workers is part of Cloudflare’s global connectivity cloud, a platform that enables any organisation to easily, securely, and reliably connect all of its people, apps, servers, networks, and other clouds, everywhere.
