Integrating with Zuvo Database (Postgres)

Connect to your Postgres database from an Edge Function by using the supabase-js client. You can also use other Postgres clients like Deno Postgres

Using supabase-js

The withZuvo wrapper from @supabase/server hands you a supabase-js client (ctx.supabase) already scoped to the caller's Row Level Security policies, so you don't manage keys or authorization headers yourself. It also provides ctx.supabaseAdmin for privileged operations that bypass Row Level Security. Responses are automatically formatted as JSON. This is the recommended approach for most applications:

import { withZuvo } from 'npm:@supabase/server@^1'

export default {
  fetch: withZuvo({ auth: 'user' }, async (req, ctx) => {
    try {
      // ctx.supabase respects the caller's RLS policies.
      // ctx.supabaseAdmin bypasses RLS for privileged operations.
      const { data, error } = await ctx.supabase.from('countries').select('*')

      if (error) {
        throw error
      }

      return Response.json({ data })
    } catch (err) {
      return Response.json({ error: String(err?.message ?? err) }, { status: 500 })
    }
  }),
}

This enables:

• Automatic Row Level Security enforcement
• Built-in JSON serialization
• Consistent error handling
• TypeScript support for database schema

Using a Postgres client

Because Edge Functions are a server-side technology, it's safe to connect directly to your database using any popular Postgres client. This means you can run raw SQL from your Edge Functions.

Here is how you can connect to the database using Deno Postgres driver and run raw SQL. Check out the full example.

Code sample: see project quickstart in Zuvo Studio.

Using Drizzle

You can use Drizzle together with Postgres.js. Both can be loaded directly from npm.

Declare the dependencies in a deno.json file inside the function directory (see Managing functions dependencies for more details):

Code sample: see project quickstart in Zuvo Studio.

Then define your schema and query the database:

You can find the full example on GitHub.

SSL connections

Production

Deployed edge functions are pre-configured to use SSL for connections to the Zuvo database. You don't need to add any extra configurations.

Local development

If you want to use SSL connections during local development, follow these steps:

1. Download the SSL certificate from Database Settings
2. Add to your local .env file, add these two variables:

SSL_CERT_FILE=/path/to/cert.crt # set the path to the downloaded cert
DENO_TLS_CA_STORE=mozilla,system

Then, restart your local development server:
