MariaDB is also supported. | | SQL Server | Not currently supported. | | | | MongoDB | Not currently supported. | | | ## Supported database providers Hyperdrive supports managed Postgres and MySQL databases provided by various providers, including AWS, Azure, and GCP. Refer to [Examples](https://66f4ea29.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/hyperdrive/examples/connect-to-postgres/) to see how to connect to various database providers. Hyperdrive also supports databases that are compatible with the Postgres or MySQL protocol. The following is a non-exhaustive list of Postgres or MySQL-compatible database providers: | Database Engine | Supported | Known supported versions | Details | | --------------- | --------- | ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | AWS Aurora | ✅ | All | Postgres-compatible and MySQL-compatible. Refer to AWS Aurora examples for [MySQL](https://66f4ea29.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/hyperdrive/examples/connect-to-mysql/mysql-database-providers/aws-rds-aurora/) and [Postgres](https://66f4ea29.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/hyperdrive/examples/connect-to-postgres/postgres-database-providers/aws-rds-aurora/). | | Neon | ✅ | All | Neon currently runs Postgres 15.x | | Supabase | ✅ | All | Supabase currently runs Postgres 15.x | | Timescale | ✅ | All | See the [Timescale guide](https://66f4ea29.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/hyperdrive/examples/connect-to-postgres/postgres-database-providers/timescale/) to connect. | | Materialize | ✅ | All | Postgres-compatible. Refer to the [Materialize guide](https://66f4ea29.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/hyperdrive/examples/connect-to-postgres/postgres-database-providers/materialize/) to connect. | | CockroachDB | ✅ | All | Postgres-compatible. Refer to the [CockroachDB](https://66f4ea29.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/hyperdrive/examples/connect-to-postgres/postgres-database-providers/cockroachdb/) guide to connect. | | PlanetScale | ✅ | All | PlanetScale provides MySQL-compatible and PostgreSQL databases | | MariaDB | ✅ | All | MySQL-compatible. | ## Supported TLS (SSL) modes ### PostgreSQL Hyperdrive supports the following [PostgreSQL TLS (SSL) ↗](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-ssl.html) connection modes when connecting to your origin database: | Mode | Supported | Details | | ----------- | ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | none | No | Hyperdrive does not support insecure plain text connections. | | prefer | No (use require) | Hyperdrive will always use TLS. | | require | Yes (default) | TLS is required, and server certificates are validated (based on WebPKI). | | verify-ca | Yes | Verifies the server's TLS certificate is signed by a root CA on the client. This ensures the server has a certificate the client trusts. | | verify-full | Yes | Identical to verify-ca, but also requires the database hostname must match a Subject Alternative Name (SAN) present on the certificate. | ### MySQL Hyperdrive supports the following [MySQL TLS (SSL) ↗](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/connection-options.html#option%5Fgeneral%5Fssl-mode) connection modes when connecting to your origin database: | Mode | Supported | Details | | ---------------- | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | DISABLED | No | Hyperdrive does not support insecure plain text connections. | | PREFERRED | No (use REQUIRED) | Hyperdrive will always use TLS. | | REQUIRED | Yes (default) | TLS is required, and server certificates are validated (based on WebPKI). | | VERIFY\_CA | Yes | Verifies the server's TLS certificate is signed by a root CA on the client. This ensures the server has a certificate the client trusts. | | VERIFY\_IDENTITY | Yes | In addition to VERIFY\_CA checks, Hyperdrive requires the database hostname to match a Subject Alternative Name (SAN) or Common Name (CN) on the certificate. | Refer to [SSL/TLS certificates](https://66f4ea29.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/hyperdrive/configuration/tls-ssl-certificates-for-hyperdrive/) documentation for details on how to configure these TLS (SSL) modes for Hyperdrive. ## Supported PostgreSQL authentication modes Hyperdrive supports the following [authentication modes ↗](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/auth-methods.html) for connecting to PostgreSQL databases: * Password Authentication (`md5`) * Password Authentication (`password`) (clear-text password) * SASL Authentication (`SCRAM-SHA-256`) ## Unsupported PostgreSQL features: Hyperdrive does not support the following PostgreSQL features: * SQL-level management of prepared statements, such as using `PREPARE`, `DISCARD`, `DEALLOCATE`, or `EXECUTE`. * Advisory locks ([PostgreSQL documentation ↗](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/explicit-locking.html#ADVISORY-LOCKS)). * `LISTEN` and `NOTIFY`. * `PREPARE` and `DEALLOCATE`. * Any modification to per-session state not explicitly documented as supported elsewhere. ## Unsupported MySQL features: Hyperdrive does not support the following MySQL features: * Non-UTF8 characters in queries * `USE` statements * Multi-statement queries * Prepared statement queries via SQL (using `PREPARE` and `EXECUTE` statements) and [protocol-level prepared statements ↗](https://sidorares.github.io/node-mysql2/docs/documentation/prepared-statements). * `COM_INIT_DB` messages * [Authentication plugins ↗](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.4/en/authentication-plugins.html) other than `caching_sha2_password` or `mysql_native_password` In cases where you need to issue these unsupported statements from your application, the Hyperdrive team recommends setting up a second, direct client without Hyperdrive.
