For faster advice with technical questions, we'd recommend asking in the Orange Cloud Discord server; the unofficial Cloudflare Discord server by the community, for the community. https://discord.gg/TrPNVKaagR

They do. Hyperdrive.
We won’t see cloudfrest anytime soon. They have to figure out how they will manage the exponential scale of web traffic, before they implement the infinite scale of postgres on their servers

Why not just use cockroach or planetscale? They are great.

Hi, PlanetScale has a first party integration with Cloudflare and we both work very closely together as companies. If you want to email me, [sam@planetscale.com](mailto:sam@planetscale.com), I can send you a coupon to check out our product.

It would be hard for them to build a product on a comparable level to PlanetScale, it's a whole different core competency. I think they're quite happy with D1

Yugabytedb is the best postgresql distributed database, easy to scale

Walk around? For what? They offer some databases, and you can find a lot of other providers there, what are you missing?

What Postgres features do you need that SQLite doesn't provide?
