This is huge for me. I went down the path of trying to build an entire API on CF Workers and the biggest stumbling block was no easy access to external relational databases due to a lack of v8 compatible connectors. This was before the D1 announcement of course.

did you look into fauandb (https://fauna.com/) ?

if so and you used it, what was you experience running fauna in CF workers?

Does CF workers support TCP yet?

They still require external connections to be made over HTTP and not other networking protocols. This is part of why this new driver is useful. Before today, it would have been impossible to use PlanetScale directly from a worker without it.

is it because you couldn't find a DB that you could talk to over http[s]?
