This is awesome! Had been meaning to open-source parts of my startup [1] that is built almost entirely on Workers right now. Glad we can do that now without making massive changes to the code-base.

Amazed by what OP and the Workers team have done over the years. Took a while for us to get used to the Workers paradigm. But once we did, feature velocity has been great.

Last wish list item: a Postgres service on Workers (D2?) becoming available in the not too distant future

I went to use your product and connect Google Analytics to give it a shot, but you haven't verified the app w/ Google, so you get a big warning. I closed out of the browser. Might want to look into that.
Yikes, yes. Thank you for the heads up!

We've mostly been using the GA plugin for use with beta users. Had completely forgotten about the need to verify the app with Google. Will do that this week.

Not sure where Cloudflare's with relational database connectors [0], but the next best thing is MySQL via Workers: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32511577

They do have relational DB connectors [1], which have been working great for us. But maintaining a centralised DB is still a bit of a pain and latency can be high, depending on where users are accessing them from. Having a managed, distributed SQL service will be easier to manage and will likely have much lower latency. Their SQLite DB, D1 [2] looks interesting. But would be awesome to have Postgres' more complete feature set as a managed, low-latency service
