KUALA LUMPUR, May 12 (Bernama) -- San Francisco, CA-headquartered Cloudflare Inc, the security, performance, and reliability company helping to build a better Internet, has 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 the 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.
In a statement, Cloudflare co-founder and CEO, Matthew Prince said: “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 optimise 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, among others, Easily spin up a database with Cloudflare Workers; Import data from other providers to Cloudflare; and, Unlock the power and scale of Cloudflare Workers within their applications.
