Dedicated adapter for Vercel Postgres
- Uses the `@vercel/postgres` package under the hood.
- No `pg` dependency, speeds up invocation
- Includes refactoring all base postgres functionality into a
`BasePostgresAdapter` type, which will ease implementation of [other
adapters supported by
drizzle-orm](https://orm.drizzle.team/docs/get-started-postgresql)
## Usage
```ts
import { buildConfig } from 'payload'
import { vercelPostgresAdapter } from '@payloadcms/db-vercel-postgres'
export default buildConfig({
db: vercelPostgresAdapter({
pool: {
connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URI,
},
}),
// ...rest of config
})
```
### Automatic Connection String Detection
Have Vercel automatically detect from environment variable (typically
`process.env.POSTGRES_URL`)
```ts
export default buildConfig({
db: postgresAdapter(),
// ...rest of config
})
```
This noticeably improves performance in the admin panel, for example
when there are multiple richtext editors on one page (& likely
performance in other areas too, though I mainly tested rich text).
The babel plugin currently only optimizes files with a 'use client'
directive at the top - thus we have to make sure to add use client
wherever possible, even if it's imported by a parent client component.
There's one single component that broke when it was compiled using the
React compiler (it stopped being reactive and failed one of our admin
e2e tests):

opting out of it completely fixed that issue
