A comment on Learn Postgres at the Playground – Postgres compiled to WASM running in browser. Parent comment
...but then the OPFS will be a quite decent fit. We (DuckDB-Wasm) are also looking closely at OPFS.
IMHO the requirement here is not even to get to full ACID.
With OPFS, we will get close enough to IndexedDB on steroids and bypassing the js heap limits through out-of-core operators.
After all, we are still running in a browser.
So I see the value of Wasm-based databases to be a front-facing accelerator, not a substitute for robust storage solutions.
