Open source alternative to Prisma Data Proxy and Prisma Accelerate

What is this?

Prisma offers Data Proxy (and Accelerate which offers caching) that allows you to connect to your database from a serverless environment like Cloudflare Workers or Netlify Functions. This is a great solution for serverless environments that don't allow you to connect to your database directly. But as from my experience, Data Proxy and Accelerate have some downsides:

• It's not open source
• Long cold start times
• Slow response times

This project aims to be an open source alternative to Prisma Data Proxy and Prisma Accelerate.
