Code-Vergleich

Connect to Neon

typescript

import { neon } from '@neondatabase/serverless';

const sql = neon(process.env.DATABASE_URL!);

const users = await sql`
  SELECT * FROM users 
  WHERE created_at > NOW() - INTERVAL '7 days'
`;

Neon's serverless driver works in edge runtimes.

Connect to Turso

typescript

import { createClient } from '@libsql/client';

const db = createClient({
  url: process.env.TURSO_URL!,
  authToken: process.env.TURSO_TOKEN,
});

const { rows } = await db.execute(
  "SELECT * FROM users WHERE created_at > datetime('now', '-7 days')"
);

Turso uses SQLite syntax with cloud scaling.

🔄 Migrationshinweise

Postgres and SQLite syntax differ. ORMs like Prisma and Drizzle support both, making migration easier with abstraction. Test queries thoroughly.

Häufig gestellte Fragen

Which is better for Cloudflare Workers? ▼

Both work well. Turso's embedded replicas pattern can provide even lower latency. Neon's serverless driver is designed for edge too.

Can I use Prisma with both? ▼

Yes! Prisma supports both Neon (via Postgres) and Turso (via sqlite/turso adapter). Drizzle also supports both.
