There was a problem hiding this comment.
Shall we add this to the D1 template, which is currently being used as a base to implement Payload using Postgres with Hypedrive, or should this just go into the documentation, in a dedicated section?

What?
Forces
pg-cloudflaredependency to be installed, even when usingpnpm installWhy?
When using the
db-postgresadapter inside Cloudflare, it needs thepg-cloudflarepackage to work, which is an optional dependency ofpg. This is necessary to support connecting to a Postgres database, via Cloudflare's Hyperdrive, when deploying Payload on Cloudflare.Optional dependencies are installed by default when using npm, but not when using pnpm.
How?
By declaring
pg-cloudflareas a dependency ofdb-postgres.To help with the bundling, it's also necessary to add
pg-cloudflareto the list of Next.js' external dependencies. More info here: https://opennext.js.org/cloudflare/howtos/workerd#configurationDiscord discussion: https://discordapp.com/channels/967097582721572934/1427199951766552586
