Weird question: Since you mention 'bare-metal' and this is "enables you to run Postgres in the browser"
UH, could you do:
bare_metal --> HeadlessGPU-Chrome --> PGLite with whatever orchesrtration and you have a an automatable 'browser' that can scrape/store/logic/log/be-config'd from/lookup directly to your browserDB
and maybe run a fastAPI ontop of such that you have a full stack, baremetal, headless, browserDB/fastAPI/endpoint processing doohicky?
Or does this sound dumb?
Because this is exactly what I actually need and am attempting to create - but its beyond my capabilities in any functional/elegant implementation...
So, you can basically use this to deploy a portable fully enclosed little webapp.
Basically any little web-app that has a bunch of backend DB:
A sales USB drive that loads a page that then has the pglite of all your product stuff on there. and you can just provide custom buttons to slurp data either way.
Utils to yank a [data] from a postgress server, onto your little sneaker-DB-USB -- then carry it over and to a DB function...
A little util USB that you already have it setup such that you can curl a bunch of data directly into tables on your little headless-browser-pglite minion?
Full Kisok DB USB (SSD) upgrades.
Basically - running a pico headless postgress DB with a webUI?
It doesn't need so many moving parts imo. I was thinking to just grab the npm package and slap a tiny TS interface on top of that to mock my bespoke vector db. In the vein of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41225080
