Full-Featured Postgres in Web Browser
The PG-Lite tool, which is essentially Postgres running in single-user mode within a web browser, offers all the features of a fully-featured Postgres database including indexes, data types, and extension capabilities. This capability opens up possibilities for web developers to run an entire Postgres database inside a web browser, enabling the creation of interactive real-time sync applications with transactional capabilities. One potential use case is integrating Postgres with PG-Vector to feed data into AI running on devices, leveraging the strong integration of vector data with the main relational model of Postgres. This integration is seen as a valuable asset in advancing the capabilities of databases in supporting AI applications, with efforts already being made to optimize the stack for performance, as seen in recent advancements in Timescale DB releasing a more performant PG Vector extension.
