I'd seen this running in a browser before (the ~3MB download is really impressive for that), but I hadn't clocked that it runs server-side with Node.js and Bun as well: https://pglite.dev/docs/ Since that's still not spinning up an actual network server, that feels like it's an alternative to SQLite - you can spin up a full in-process PostgreSQL implementation, that persists to disk, as part of an existing Node.js/Bun application. That's really interesting! I'd love to use this from Python, via something like https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer-python or https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime-py - has anyone run PGlite via one of those wrappers yet?
In Show HN: PGlite – in-browser WASM Postgres with pgvector and live sync
