@ErickSky: They rewrote PostgreSQL completely in Rust... and it already passes 100% of the official Postgres tests! Heads up, it's…
Summary
A ground-up reimplementation of PostgreSQL in Rust passes 100% of official tests, is disk-compatible, and claims significant performance improvements (50% faster transactional, ~300x faster analytical) in a WIP version.

They rewrote PostgreSQL completely in Rust… and it already passes 100% of the official Postgres tests!
Heads up, it’s not a fork, it’s a ground-up reimplementation in Rust that currently:
• Passes the 46,066 queries from PostgreSQL 18.3’s regression suite • Is disk-compatible (you can boot it directly with your current data directory) • Has a functional demo in the browser
The goal is to make one of the world’s most complex databases much easier to modify, extend, and optimize from within using Rust + AI-assisted programming.
And the craziest part: there’s already a WIP version (not yet published) that promises to be 50% faster on transactional workloads and ~300x faster on analytical workloads.
REPOOO
Reescribieron PostgreSQL completo en Rust… y ya pasa el 100% de los tests oficiales de Postgres!
Ojo, no es un fork, es una reimplementación desde cero en Rust que actualmente:
• Pasa las 46.066 queries del regression suite de PostgreSQL 18.3 • Es disk-compatible (puedes bootearlo directamente con tu data directory actual) • Tiene demo funcional en el browser
El objetivo Es hacer que una de las bases de datos más complejas del mundo sea mucho más fácil de modificar, extender y optimizar desde dentro usando Rust + programación asistida por IA.
Y lo más loco: ya existe una versión WIP (aún no publicada) que promete ser 50% más rápida en workloads transaccionales y ~300x más rápida en workloads analíticos.
REPOOO
A la mierda, es verdad
HHAHAHAA
