Cloudflare announced today new tools and integrations to build applications on its serverless computing platform, Cloudflare Workers.

The company also unveiled a partnership with database tools maker Prisma that enables developers to connect Cloudflare Workers to databases like MySQL, Prisma, and Postgres, as well as NoSQL databases like MongoDB, FaunaDB, and any database that connects over HTTP, such as DynamoDB, Firebase, and AWS Aurora.

“The promise of serverless computing is its simplicity,” said Matthew Prince, cofounder and CEO of Cloudflare. “That’s why these new tools and partnerships are grounded in our belief that any developer in the world should be able to connect their data to build any type of application on Cloudflare, period.”

According to Reports and Data, the serverless computing market is anticipated to reach $25.49 billion by 2026. Since Cloudflare’s IPO in 2019, Cloudflare Workers helped launch over 2 million applications, the company said.
Durable Objects
Cloudflare said it is also making Durable Objects, its solution to provide low-latency and reliable storage for Cloudflare Workers, generally available. Durable Objects enables users to automatically create and delete objects so that they don’t need to waste time managing infrastructure.

One of the features included with Durable Objects that’s particularly notable is the ability to create a named instance of a Worker that runs on Cloudflare’s network. After creating this named instance or Durable Object, other workers can send messages to it and store data within it, laying out the foundation to build scalable stateless applications.

Cloudflare:
Durable Objects — now Generally Available

Full Stack Week is all about how developers are embracing the power of Cloudflare’s network to build entire applications that are global by default. The promise of Workers isn’t just improved latency — it’s fundamentally different programming paradigms that make developer’s lives easier and applications more resilient.
Last year, we announced Durable Objects — Cloudflare’s approach to coordinating state across Workers running at Cloudflare’s edge.

Today, we’re announcing that Durable Objects are generally available and production-ready for you to use!

Workers adds support for two modern data platforms: MongoDB Atlas and Prisma

We’ve heard a common theme over the past year: developers want to build more of their applications on Workers. With built-in global deployments, insane scalability and the flexibility of JavaScript, more and more applications are choosing to build on our global platform.

Today we’re excited to announce that, in addition to our existing partners Fauna and Macrometa, Cloudflare Workers has added support for Prisma and MongoDB Atlas.

Introducing Relational Database Connectors

At Cloudflare, we’re building the best compute platform in the world. We want to make it easy, seamless, and obvious to build your applications with us. But simply making the best compute platform is not enough — at the heart of your applications are the data they interact with.

Cloudflare has multiple data storage solutions available today: Workers KV, R2, and Durable Objects. All three follow Cloudflare’s design goals for Workers: global by default, infinitely scalable, and delightful for developers to use.
We’ve partnered with third-party storage solutions like Fauna, MongoDB and Prisma, who have built data platforms that align beautifully with our design goals and written tutorials for databases that already support HTTP connections.

Making connections with TCP and Sockets for Workers

Today we are excited to announce that we are developing APIs and infrastructure to support more TCP, UDP, and QUIC-based protocols in Cloudflare Workers. Once released, these new capabilities will make it possible to use non-HTTP socket connections to and from a Worker or Durable Object as easily as one can use HTTP and WebSockets today.
