Remove dependency to crypto so node-postgres can run on the edge

[harrispap03]

I'm using node-postgres alongside with drizzle-orm.

I'd like to be able to make queries on the edge, though that's not possible due to the dependency of node-postgres to the crypto library.

Is there a chance it can be removed on the future so it can run on the edge ?

• As of Cloudflare Workers support #2971, the Web Crypto API is already used instead of the Node crypto module where possible.

• node_modules can be used, as long as they implement ES Modules and do not use native Node.js APIs

  though? pg isn’t ESM-based, and uses other Node APIs, like net. pg includes a Node-like API wrapper for Cloudflare Workers, but I don’t even see the ability to make TCP connections in the linked documentation.

• (Is your PostgreSQL server also on the edge?)

Hmm, that's interesting, it seems there are many roadblocks to get this working on the edge.

To be fair I haven't decided on the location of my db. It could be on the edge. I guess in this case I should use some other driver from drizzle

I had the same problem for Cloudflare Pages, I ended up patching the package, removing any require('crypto') calls, since this was the cause. Basically my edge function fell even before execution of the function logic itself, it fell in the import stage.
