Last updated Aug 24, 2026|Copy as Markdown|[View as Markdown](https://e8aee267.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/hyperdrive/examples/connect-to-postgres/postgres-database-providers/pgedge/index.md)|[Agent setup](https://e8aee267.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/agent-setup/) This example shows you how to connect Hyperdrive to a [pgEdge โ†—](https://pgedge.com/) Postgres database. pgEdge Cloud provides easy deployment of fully-managed, fully-distributed, and secure Postgres. ## 1\. Allow Hyperdrive access You can connect Hyperdrive to any existing pgEdge database with the default user and password provided by pgEdge. ### pgEdge dashboard To retrieve your connection string from the pgEdge dashboard: 1. Go to the [**pgEdge dashboard** โ†—](https://app.pgedge.com) and select the database you wish to connect to. 2. From the **Connect to your database** section, note down the connection string (starting with `postgres://app@...`) from the **Connection String** text box. ## 2\. Create a database configuration To configure Hyperdrive, you will need: * The IP address (or hostname) and port of your database. * The database username (for example, `hyperdrive-demo`) you configured in a previous step. * The password associated with that username. * The name of the database you want Hyperdrive to connect to. For example, `postgres`. Hyperdrive accepts the combination of these parameters in the common connection string format used by database drivers: ```txt postgres://USERNAME:PASSWORD@HOSTNAME_OR_IP_ADDRESS:PORT/database_name ``` Most database providers will provide a connection string you can directly copy-and-paste directly into Hyperdrive. To create a Hyperdrive configuration with the Cloudflare dashboard: 1. In the Cloudflare dashboard, go to the **Hyperdrive** page. [Go to **Hyperdrive** โ†—](https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/workers/hyperdrive) 2. Select **Create Configuration**. 3. Fill out the form, including the connection string. 4. Select **Create**. To create a Hyperdrive configuration with the [Wrangler CLI](https://e8aee267.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/workers/wrangler/install-and-update/): 1. Open your terminal and run the following command. Replace `` with a name for your Hyperdrive configuration and paste the connection string provided from your database host, or replace `user`, `password`, `HOSTNAME_OR_IP_ADDRESS`, `port`, and `database_name` placeholders with those specific to your database: ```sh npx wrangler hyperdrive create --connection-string="postgres://user:password@HOSTNAME_OR_IP_ADDRESS:PORT/database_name" ``` 2. This command outputs a binding for the [Wrangler configuration file](https://e8aee267.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/workers/wrangler/configuration/): ```jsonc { "$schema": "./node_modules/wrangler/config-schema.json", "name": "hyperdrive-example", "main": "src/index.ts", // Set this to today's date "compatibility_date": "2026-08-24", "compatibility_flags": [ "nodejs_compat" ], // Pasted from the output of `wrangler hyperdrive create --connection-string=[...]` above. "hyperdrive": [ { "binding": "HYPERDRIVE", "id": "" } ] } ``` ```toml "$schema" = "./node_modules/wrangler/config-schema.json" name = "hyperdrive-example" main = "src/index.ts" # Set this to today's date compatibility_date = "2026-08-24" compatibility_flags = [ "nodejs_compat" ] [[hyperdrive]] binding = "HYPERDRIVE" id = "" ``` Note Hyperdrive will attempt to connect to your database with the provided credentials to verify they are correct before creating a configuration. If you encounter an error when attempting to connect, refer to Hyperdrive's [troubleshooting documentation](https://e8aee267.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/hyperdrive/observability/troubleshooting/) to debug possible causes. ## 3\. Use Hyperdrive from your Worker Install the `node-postgres` driver: npmyarnpnpmbun ``` npm i pg@>8.16.3 ``` ``` yarn add pg@>8.16.3 ``` ``` pnpm add pg@>8.16.3 ``` ``` bun add pg@>8.16.3 ``` Note The minimum version of `node-postgres` required for Hyperdrive is `8.16.3`. If using TypeScript, install the types package: npmyarnpnpmbun ``` npm i -D @types/pg ``` ``` yarn add -D @types/pg ``` ``` pnpm add -D @types/pg ``` ``` bun add -d @types/pg ``` Add the required Node.js compatibility flags and Hyperdrive binding to your `wrangler.jsonc` file: ```jsonc { // required for database drivers to function "compatibility_flags": [ "nodejs_compat" ], // Set this to today's date "compatibility_date": "2026-08-24", "hyperdrive": [ { "binding": "HYPERDRIVE", "id": "" } ] } ``` ```toml compatibility_flags = [ "nodejs_compat" ] # Set this to today's date compatibility_date = "2026-08-24" [[hyperdrive]] binding = "HYPERDRIVE" id = "" ``` Create a new `Client` instance and pass the Hyperdrive `connectionString`: ```ts // filepath: src/index.ts import { Client } from "pg"; export default { async fetch( request: Request, env: Env, ctx: ExecutionContext, ): Promise { // Create a new client instance for each request. Hyperdrive maintains the // underlying database connection pool, so creating a new client is fast. const client = new Client({ connectionString: env.HYPERDRIVE.connectionString, }); try { // Connect to the database await client.connect(); // Perform a simple query const result = await client.query("SELECT * FROM pg_tables"); return Response.json({ success: true, result: result.rows, }); } catch (error: any) { console.error("Database error:", error.message); return new Response("Internal error occurred", { status: 500 }); } }, }; ``` ## Next steps * Learn more about [How Hyperdrive Works](https://e8aee267.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/hyperdrive/concepts/how-hyperdrive-works/). * Refer to the [troubleshooting guide](https://e8aee267.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/hyperdrive/observability/troubleshooting/) to debug common issues. * Understand more about other [storage options](https://e8aee267.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/workers/platform/storage-options/) available to Cloudflare Workers.
