PGlite is a lightweight, WebAssembly (WASM) build of Postgres designed to run directly in JavaScript environments such as browsers, Node.js, Bun, and Deno, without the need for additional dependencies. It allows developers to run Postgres in-memory or with persistence to IndexedDB or local file systems, offering a simple yet powerful solution for local-first, real-time applications. At under 3MB gzipped, PGlite is optimized for efficiency and includes dynamic extension loading, support for pgvector, and real-time sync capabilities with ElectricSQL. It's ideal for building reactive apps with live queries and syncing data between a cloud Postgres instance and a local PGlite database.
