Key Evidence
- Maintainer Confirmed Known Limitation: Cloudflare member @sejoker responded (2025-08-05) confirming Hyperdrive doesn't work on localhost while connected to remote database due to how the integration between Hyperdrive and Workers Runtime was implemented.
- No ETA for Fix: The maintainer explicitly stated there is no ETA when this could be resolved.
- Not Fixed in Changelog: Issue #9485 is not mentioned in the wrangler or miniflare changelogs.
- Related PRs Don't Address This: Recent Hyperdrive improvements (#11219 for TLS proxy, #11443 for Windows latency) address different issues, not multi-worker support.
Recommendation
Status: KEEP OPEN
Reasoning: This is a confirmed known limitation acknowledged by a Cloudflare team member. The issue represents a valid feature gap where Hyperdrive bindings don't work properly with secondary workers in local development mode. No fix has been merged and no ETA has been provided.
Action: Keep open as a known limitation tracking issue. No further action needed - the maintainer has already provided context to the reporter.
