Good at what it does. Not relevant to how I build.

## Use it when

- Your REST API runs as a Worker and talks to Postgres over TCP.

## Don't use it when

- Your logic is on Lambda: Lambda can't use Hyperdrive.

## Pricing

Included in Workers Paid.

## Provisioning

Official Pulumi package · Official Terraform provider

## Use instead

Neon's HTTP driver, which works from Workers and Lambda alike.
