[Skip to content](#%5Ftop) # Hyperdrive (Postgres & MySQL) Turn your existing regional database into a globally distributed database. Available on Free and Paid plans Hyperdrive is a service that accelerates queries you make to existing databases, making it faster to access your data from across the globe from [Cloudflare Workers](https://edgetunnel-b2h.pages.dev/workers/), irrespective of your users' location. Hyperdrive supports any Postgres or MySQL database, including those hosted on AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Neon and PlanetScale. Hyperdrive also supports Postgres-compatible databases like CockroachDB and Timescale. You do not need to write new code or replace your favorite tools: Hyperdrive works with your existing code and tools you use. Use Hyperdrive's connection details from your Cloudflare Workers application with your existing database drivers and object-relational mapping (ORM) libraries. ## Examples ### PostgreSQL * [ index.ts ](#tab-panel-9424) * [ wrangler.jsonc ](#tab-panel-9425) **TypeScript** ```ts import { Client } from "pg"; export default { async fetch(request, env, ctx): Promise { // Create a new client instance for each request.
