Postgres-WASM

Postgres-WASM is an experimental project that brings the PostgreSQL database engine into the browser by running it inside a WebAssembly-powered virtualized environment. Instead of reimplementing PostgreSQL, the project embeds a full Linux environment and runs a native PostgreSQL instance within it, all compiled to WebAssembly and executed in the browser. This allows developers to interact with a real PostgreSQL server locally in a sandboxed environment without installing any database software on their system. The system supports persistence through browser storage and enables features such as restoring from backups or replicating data from remote databases, making it useful for testing, demos, and educational use cases. Its architecture relies on emulation layers and virtual networking to bridge communication between the in-browser database and external systems.
