Vercel to Cloudflare Worker Migration

Migrate a Next.js + Supabase project from Vercel to Cloudflare Workers with Hyperdrive connection pooling.

Quick Start

1. Run the analysis script to scan the project: bash python3 scripts/analyze_project.py <project-path>
2. Review the migration report
3. Run the migration script: bash python3 scripts/migrate.py <project-path>
4. Configure Hyperdrive: see references/hyperdrive-setup.md

Core Migration Steps

1. Install @opennextjs/cloudflare adapter

npm install @opennextjs/cloudflare

Update next.config.js or next.config.ts if needed.

2. Rewrite environment variable access

All process.env.XXX for Cloudflare bindings (Hyperdrive, KV, D1, etc.) must use getCloudflareContext():

// BEFORE (Vercel/Node.js)
const url = process.env.DATABASE_URL;

// AFTER (Cloudflare Worker)
import { getCloudflareContext } from '@opennextjs/cloudflare';

function getConnectionInfo() {
  const env = getCloudflareContext().env;
  const hyperdrive = env.HYPERDRIVE as { connectionString?: string } | undefined;
  if (hyperdrive?.connectionString) {
    return { connectionString: hyperdrive.connectionString, source: 'hyperdrive' };
  }
  // Fallback for local dev
  const local = env.CLOUDFLARE_HYPERDRIVE_LOCAL_CONNECTION_STRING_HYPERDRIVE;
  if (local) {
    return { connectionString: local, source: 'hyperdrive-local' };
  }
  throw new Error('HYPERDRIVE is not configured');
}

3. Refactor global DB singleton to per-request pattern

// BEFORE: Global singleton
import { drizzle } from 'drizzle-orm/postgres-js';
import postgres from 'postgres';
const client = postgres(process.env.DATABASE_URL!);
export const db = drizzle(client);

// AFTER: Per-request with React cache
import { cache } from 'react';

export const getDb = cache(() => {
  const { connectionString, source } = getConnectionInfo();
  return createDatabase({
    connectionString,
    enableSSL: source === 'hyperdrive' ? false : 'require',
  });
});

Then replace all import { db } with import { getDb } and add const db = getDb() at the start of each function.

4. Configure wrangler.toml

name = "my-app"
main = ".open-next/worker.js"
compatibility_date = "2024-09-23"
compatibility_flags = ["nodejs_compat"]

[[hyperdrive]]
binding = "HYPERDRIVE"
id = "<your-hyperdrive-id>"

Critical Pitfalls

1. Hyperdrive must connect to Supabase Direct Connection (port 5432), NOT the Pooler (port 6543). Hyperdrive IS a connection pooler — connecting pooler-to-pooler causes errors.

2. SSL must be disabled for Hyperdrive connections — Worker ↔ Hyperdrive is internal network. Only enable SSL for direct database connections (local dev, build stage).

3. Cannot initialize DB at module top level — getCloudflareContext() only works during request handling, not at module load time.

4. Supabase Free Tier direct connection is IPv6 only — local dev may fail if your network doesn't support IPv6. Use the Pooler URL (port 6543) for local development.
