Edge Database Partnerships
Cloudflare is partnering with leading distribute and API driven database providers to support complex data driven use cases at the Edge
It takes a village to develop and maintain an application. Cloudflare Workers is the most developer-friendly Compute platform. We are extending its capabilities by connecting to the various components developers would like by partnering with several companies. Cloudflare Workers can now build distributed, global, transactional use cases natively with direct API calls from Workers.
Overview
Every application has two parts: code and state.
State isn’t always the easiest to work in a massive distributed system. When an application runs in 200+ data centers simultaneously, there’s an inherent tradeoff between distributing the data for better performance, availability, scale, and guaranteeing that all data centers see the same data at a given point in time.
Our goal is to make state at the edge seamless. Use cases such as querying complex datasets, or communicating with a relational system-of-record. We recognize that there will always be use cases for communicating from a Worker to an existing query language.
We’re announcing the below partnerships so that developers can build on Workers with confidence. A partnership with two distributed data companies, Macrometa and Fauna, to help developers choose an edge-first database when they build a new application on Workers.
OUR PARTNERS
Macrometa
Cloudflare is excited to announce a partnership for global data with Macrometa. Macrometa provides a stateful platform for developers to build rich, geo-distributed, stateful applications on the edge with Cloudflare Workers.
Fauna
We are also excited to announce a partnership for transactional workloads with Fauna, a data API for modern applications. Together, Cloudflare and Fauna enable developers to build stateful applications that scale dynamically and maintain strong consistency.
What our partners are saying
"With Cloudflare and Macrometa, developers can now build and deliver powerful and compelling data-driven experiences in a way that the centralized clouds will never be able to. The world deserves a better cloud - an edge cloud."
-Chetan Venkatesh
Co-founder and CEO, Macrometa
What our partners are saying
"The integration of Cloudflare workers with Fauna allows our joint customers to simply and cost effectively bring both data and logic to the edge. Fauna was developed from the ground up as a globally distributed, serverless database and when combined with Cloudflare Workers serverless compute fabric provides developers with a simple, yet powerful abstraction over the complexities of distributed infrastructure."
-Evan Weaver
Co-founder and CTO, Fauna
What our partners are saying
"Combining Cloudflare Workers with Fauna allows us to bring both data and logic to the edge, enabling us to deliver a differentiated search engine while still meeting high operations requirements in latency and uptime — all at a fraction of the cost and complexity of non-serverless solutions."
-James Kaplan
Founder and CEO, MeetKai
