Cloudflare bolsters full-stack development with new suite of management tools

Cloudflare Inc. today announced the general availability of four new products that are focused on making full-stack management easier for developers.

The first GA release, D1, is a global, serverless SQL database designed to be ultra-reliable and scale up while not losing data. D1 offers support for 10-gigabyte databases and 50,000 databases per account. It also offers enhanced query debugging that allows users to understand what queries are consuming the most time or cost, or are simply inefficient.

D1 has a focus on empowering developers to build production-ready applications that meet all their relational SQL needs. The GA of D1 has also retained a free tier and a $5-per-month workers plan with support for 25 billion row reads.

New features released as part of D1 today include global read replication, larger databases, additional “Time Travel” capabilities that will allow users to branch their databases and new application programming interfaces for dynamically querying or creating new databases on the fly.

Hyperdrive, Cloudflare’s service to assist in making local databases global, also became generally available today. The service allows users to turn existing regional databases into globally distributed ones, enabling faster access to global data.

The service works by automatically caching popular queries within Cloudflare’s network, reducing response times significantly and making databases function as if they are located closer to users. Hyperdrive supports the most popular drivers and Object Relational Mapper libraries out of the box, meaning that users don’t have to relearn or rewrite queries.

Cloudflare has more planned for the service, including adding support for MySQL and support for connecting to databases inside private networks, including cloud VPC networks, via Cloudflare Tunnel and Magic WAN.

The third GA release is called “Queues,” a messaging queuing service that allows applications to reliably send and receive messages using Cloudflare Workers. The service allows developers to queue messages for asynchronous processing, guarantee message delivery, offload tasks from critical paths, and transform, filter and fan out messages to multiple queues.

Finally there’s Workers Analytics Engine, a service that provides unlimited-cardinality analytics at scale via a built-in API to write data points from Workers and an SQL API to query that data. The service enables users to gather telemetry about various aspects using Cloudflare Workers, with benefits such as low-latency reporting, fast queries at any timescale, and the ability to quickly deploy analytics for different applications.
