Deploy Postgres and MySQL databases with PlanetScale + Workers

Cloudflare has announced an enhancement in its partnership with PlanetScale that enables users to create and manage Postgres and MySQL databases directly from the Cloudflare dashboard, with billing integrated into their Cloudflare account. This integration offers Cloudflare customers, both self-serve and enterprise, seamless access to PlanetScale databases, leveraging the popular Postgres for its robust tooling and scalability, and Vitess MySQL for its reliability. The integration is facilitated through Hyperdrive, Cloudflare's database connectivity service, ensuring fast and reliable database queries by managing connection pools and query caching. Developers can benefit from PlanetScale's features like query insights and safe deployment practices while maintaining low latency by strategically placing Workers near the databases. Starting next month, new PlanetScale databases will be billed directly through Cloudflare, enhancing the developer experience by unifying services under one billing system and furthering collaboration opportunities for future innovations through Cloudflare API integration.
