Original: Postgres in Rust: Is This The Future For Your Next.js SaaS?

Short summary

The pgrust project rewrites Postgres in Rust and now passes 100% of Postgres regression tests, promising fewer memory-related bugs and near-C performance. For SaaS builders using Next.js and Supabase, this could eventually mean a safer, faster database foundation without changing their existing workflow. While still early-stage, it signals Rust's maturity for demanding systems-programming tasks and hints at future hosted Postgres services powered by Rust.

  • pgrust is a Rust rewrite of Postgres passing 100% of regression tests
  • Rust's memory safety and near-C speed could improve database reliability and performance
  • Benefits may trickle down to Supabase and other hosted Postgres services without requiring developers to learn Rust
