Set up Lucia Auth for local Postgres DB vs Vercel Postgres
New Courses Coming Soon
Join the waiting lists
I switched a codebase from local Postgres database to Vercel Postgres, which comes with its own optimized package.
I used this to connect Lucia Auth:
import { postgres as postgresAdapter } from '@lucia-auth/adapter-postgresql'
import postgres from 'postgres'
const POSTGRES_URL = //..lookup from env variables
const postgresDatabase = postgres(POSTGRES_URL)
const auth = lucia({
adapter: postgresAdapter(
postgresDatabase,
dbConfig
),
//...
})
With Vercel Postgres, I used:
import { pg } from '@lucia-auth/adapter-postgresql'
import { db } from '@vercel/postgres'
const auth = lucia({
adapter: pg(db, dbConfig),
//...
})
The db
now already know how to look up the environment variable POSTGRES_URL
