# Hyperdrive

> Hyperdrive makes regional databases feel global. Connection pooling provides 3x faster queries from globally-distributed Workers, with optional caching for 100x speed and scale on repeated queries.

## Key Features

- PostgreSQL and MySQL support
- Connection pooling
- Query result caching
- Works with any database driver
- ORM compatible (Prisma, Drizzle, etc.)
- No database modifications required
- Regional connection pools

## Benefits

### Zero Migration

Change the connection string, keep everything else

### Compatible

Works with PostgreSQL, MySQL, and popular ORMs

### Fast

Sub-5ms cached query results and global pooling

## Use Cases

### Build fast, global, full-stack

Build full-stack Workers applications that feel fast everywhere by eliminating the distance penalty between global compute and regional data. No complex multi-region database setups required.

### Scale read-heavy applications globally

Handle millions of database queries without overwhelming your database. Connection pooling and query caching distribute load.

### Cache database queries at the edge

Store frequently-accessed data like user profiles, configuration settings, and routing tables at 330+ locations worldwide. Perfect for authentication, authorization, and edge decision-making.

### Compatible with your existing stack

Swap your connection string - and that's it. Build with your existing databases, drivers, ORMs and libraries. Scale your app globally, no major re-architecture required.
