Comparación de Código

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.

🔄 Notas de Migración

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

Preguntas Frecuentes

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.
