## What it is
An in-process reimplementation of PostgreSQL in Rust, backed by a SQLite-compatible storage engine, built as an experimental fork of Turso. It parses PostgreSQL SQL with PostgreSQL's own parser and compiles it to SQLite bytecode, offering an embeddable single-file database that speaks PostgreSQL.

## Use cases
- run postgres-compatible queries in an embedded single-file database
- give ai agents ephemeral scratch databases without a server
- use postgresql syntax and type system without running a postgres server
- embed a lightweight database in a rust application
- replace sqlite with postgres-compatible semantics in-process

## When to choose
- you want postgresql dialect in an embeddable, serverless database
- you need ephemeral per-task or per-user databases for agents
- you prefer rust and a single-file storage engine over a full postgres install

## When to avoid
- you need full postgres features, extensions, or production parity
- you want active development - it has merged into Turso
- you need multi-client server deployments with process-per-connection

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: database, database-driver, parser
- domain: databases, developer-tools
- platform: rust, cross-platform, embedded
- tags: postgresql, sqlite, embedded-database, turso, in-process
