Build a serverless API using Cloudflare Workers, Drizzle ORM, and Neon
Blog post from Neon
The guide outlines how to construct a serverless API using Cloudflare Workers, Hono, Drizzle ORM, and Neon, providing a comprehensive walkthrough from setup to deployment. Cloudflare Workers allow for serverless code deployment without infrastructure management, while Neon offers a scalable, serverless Postgres database with separate storage and compute layers. Drizzle ORM serves as a lightweight TypeScript ORM compatible with Cloudflare Workers, facilitating SQL migrations via its CLI tool. The guide assumes basic JavaScript or TypeScript knowledge and requires accounts on Cloudflare and Neon. Key steps include setting up a project with create-cloudflare-cli, integrating Hono for API endpoints, defining a database schema with Drizzle ORM, generating and applying database migrations, and deploying the API while managing credentials through Neon integration in Cloudflare. The process is designed to help users understand and implement a serverless architecture efficiently, with practical examples and code snippets.
