PGlite is a lightweight Postgres packaged as WASM into a TypeScript library. It allows you to run Postgres in the browser, Node.js, and Bun without any additional dependencies. It can be used as an ephemeral in-memory database or with persistence to the file system or indexedDB. Parameterized queries are not supported yet. It is being developed at ElectricSQL in collaboration with Neon.

<p>This is pretty rad! Running postgres as a library or on the browser. This is unheard of 🤯</p>


<p>Excited to see more things like this; SQLite is fantastic but being able to easily test against a DB you’d actually be running in production this easily is amazing.</p>
