## The brief

Cloudflare's September 16 update lets Python Workers connect to PostgreSQL and MySQL through Hyperdrive. Its linked setup guide requires a compatibility date of September 8, 2026 or later and recommends asyncpg for PostgreSQL and aiomysql for MySQL. The guide also identifies a limitation: synchronous SQLAlchemy ORMs are supported, but asynchronous SQLAlchemy ORMs are not yet supported.
