Brief
Jilles reports that Hyperdrive makes it possible to connect Cloudflare Workers to Postgres, opening edge-based access to a Postgres backend. He also says he runs legacy Django applications that use Celery with Redis as the message broker and that Dragonfly, being Redis-compatible and multi-threaded, can serve as a compatible broker replacement.
Why it matters
Hyperdrive enables connecting Cloudflare Workers to Postgres, allowing serverless edge functions to access a Postgres database (noted by @Jilles on 2026-06-06).
Key details
- Dragonfly is Redis-compatible and multi-threaded; @Jilles uses it as a drop-in replacement for Redis as the message broker for legacy Django apps that use Celery.
