Connect to Postgres local vs Vercel Postgres with Kysely
New Course Coming Soon:
Get Really Good at Git
I switched a codebase from local Postgres database to Vercel Postgres, which comes with its own optimized package.
I used this to set up Kysely:
import {
Kysely,
PostgresDialect,
} from 'kysely'
import pg from 'pg'
const POSTGRES_URL = //...from env
const dialect = new PostgresDialect({
pool: new pg.Pool({
connectionString:
POSTGRES_URL
max: 10,
}),
})
export const db = new Kysely({
dialect
})
With Vercel Postgres, I used:
import { createKysely } from '@vercel/postgres-kysely'
const POSTGRES_URL = //...from env
export const db = createKysely({
connectionString: POSTGRES_URL
})
The db
now already know how to look up the environment variable POSTGRES_URL
Are you intimidated by Git? Can’t figure out merge vs
rebase? Are you afraid of screwing up something any time
you have to do something in Git? Do you rely on ChatGPT
or random people’s answer on StackOverflow to fix your
problems? Your coworkers are tired of explaining Git to
you all the time? Git is something we all need to use,
but few of us really master it. I created this course to
improve your Git (and GitHub) knowledge at a radical
level. A course that helps you feel less frustrated with
Git. Launching Summer 2024. Join the waiting list!
