Database Access on the Edge with Cloudflare Workers & Prisma
summary
Demonstrates that Cloudflare Workers can query a central Postgres/MySQL database over HTTP using Prisma Data Proxy, not raw TCP, by migrating ~500 quotes from a JSON file into a database, seeding them, and deploying a 97 KB app to the edge in about 10 minutes. Uses Prisma Client, the data proxy, and wrangler publish; queries, get-by-id and create operations all succeed in live requests, and connection pooling is handled by the proxy.
