About Cloudflare D1
Cloudflare D1 is Cloudflare's managed, serverless SQL database, based on SQLite. Developers create databases and query them from Cloudflare Workers and Pages projects, so applications get a relational store without running database servers.
The documentation covers a Workers binding API with prepared statements, SQL features such as foreign keys and JSON queries, Wrangler commands, a REST API, import and export of data, indexes and local and remote development. Additional features include Time Travel and backups and a beta of global read replication. Example guides show how to query D1 from Hono, Remix, SvelteKit and Python Workers.
D1 is a proprietary Cloudflare service and is available on both Free and Paid plans, with billing and pricing described in the documentation.
