## What it is
Postgres.js is a fast, full-featured PostgreSQL client library for Node.js, Deno, Bun, and Cloudflare Workers. It uses ES6 tagged template strings for safe, ergonomic SQL queries with a simple surface API.

## Use cases
- query postgres from nodejs
- run parameterized sql queries without injection
- connect to postgres from deno or bun
- use postgres in cloudflare workers
- manage postgres transactions in javascript
- subscribe to postgres realtime updates
- listen and notify with postgres

## When to choose
- you want a fast, modern postgres driver with tagged-template query building
- you need edge or serverless runtime support like Cloudflare Workers
- you prefer a simple API over heavyweight ORMs

## When to avoid
- you need a full ORM with migrations and model relations
- you use a database other than PostgreSQL or CockroachDB
- you need connection pooling across multiple processes with advanced features of pg
