Plans to bring instant database to its global
network to make building any type of application possible with
Cloudflare Workers
Cloudflare, Inc. (NYSE: NET), the security, performance, and
reliability company helping to build a better Internet, today
announced Cloudflare D1, a simple and instant serverless database.
Cloudflare D1 will enable developers to start building
database-backed applications using Cloudflare Workers with just a
few clicks. Data will be stored close to where their users are,
providing lightning fast performance without any of the
complexities of installing or managing a traditional database.
Everything from the apps in your phone to SaaS applications for
the enterprise to frameworks like Ruby on Rails use databases for
storage. And SQL is the dominant language used to query and update
those databases, large and small. Cloudflare's D1 will offer
instant access to one of the most widely deployed database
technologies in the world, SQLite, directly from Cloudflare
Workers. By combining Cloudflare's serverless development platform
with instant databases, developers can build rich, database-backed
applications without ever worrying about deploying or managing a
database.
"The hardest part about serverless isn’t actually the code, it’s
the storage. Today we’re announcing our first serverless database
which we expect will quickly become one of the largest databases in
the world," said Matthew Prince, co-founder and CEO of Cloudflare.
"Cloudflare D1 is built on Cloudflare’s global network, which we
believe will allow us to offer one of the largest and most
performant serverless databases on the market so no business needs
to be bogged down by the cost and complexity of managing their
storage."
Unlike other databases on the market, Cloudflare D1 will use
Cloudflare’s global network to optimize a businesses’ database by
locating it as close as possible to their customers, providing the
fastest possible experience to users. Additionally, by pairing
storage solutions with Cloudflare’s serverless compute platform,
Cloudflare is streamlining the developer experience for building
full stack applications. Cloudflare D1 will be compatible with the
SQLite API—one of the most popular and broadly used API’s in the
world. With Cloudflare D1 developers will be able to:
- Intelligently locate data wherever your users are: With
Cloudflare D1 there is no need to pick a region. Instead,
Cloudflare will automatically store your database wherever your
users are, resulting in lightning fast performance.
- Easily spin up a database with Cloudflare Workers: No
need to figure out complex databases, just create a Cloudflare
Worker and spin up a database in a few clicks.
- Import data from other providers to Cloudflare: With
Cloudflare D1, developers will be able to seamlessly move data from
other database providers.
- Unlock the power and scale of Cloudflare Workers within
their applications: Cloudflare D1 is fully integrated with
Cloudflare Workers, making building full stack applications
incredibly easy.
- Slash their data transfer fees: Cloudflare’s goal is to
make Cloudflare D1 the least expensive option for a simple and
secure database for developers. That’s why Cloudflare will not
charge data transfer fees, allowing developers to easily move data
between services.
