+Hyperdrive is now available on the Free plan of Cloudflare Workers, enabling you to build Workers that connect to PostgreSQL or MySQL databases without compromise.
+
+Low-latency access to SQL databases is critical to building full-stack Workers applications. We want you to be able to build on fast, global apps on Workers,
+regardless of the tools you use. So we made Hyperdrive available for all, to make it easier to build Workers that connect to PostgreSQL and MySQL.
+
+If you want to learn more about how Hyperdrive works, read the [deep dive](https://blog.cloudflare.com/how-hyperdrive-speeds-up-database-access) on how Hyperdrive can make your database queries up to 4x faster.
