Introducing Relational Database Connectors

Cloudflare is introducing support for relational databases, including Postgres and MySQL from Workers. This move aligns with their design goals of being global by default, infinitely scalable, and developer-friendly. The challenge in building serverless database connections has been addressed through leveraging cloudflared to create a secure tunnel between Cloudflare and a private network within the user's existing infrastructure. They have also created a shim-layer that adapts the socket API from a popular runtime to connect directly to databases using WebSocket. The goal is to eventually manage database connections, handle replication of data across cloud providers, and provide low-latency access to data globally.
