Easy Postgres integration on Cloudflare Workers with Neon.tech

What's this blog post about?

Postgres is one of the world's favorite databases due to its ease of use and scalability. However, connecting it from environments like Cloudflare Workers presents challenges. Neon.tech not only solves these problems but also offers other features such as branching databases. To get started with Neon, users can install the client library @neondatabase/serverless, which is a drop-in replacement for node-postgres. The solution consists of connection pooling built into the platform, a WebSocket proxy, and a client library that supports end-to-end TLS encryption between Workers and the database. Neon's serverless driver and WebSocket proxy are currently in public beta, with plans to improve and extend them further.
