Turso Rewrites Postgres in Rust
polyrand · hn · 2026-07-16
Turso published an article about building a new Postgres in Rust, describing it as the "LLVM of the database world."
The main idea is to rebuild Postgres capabilities using modern engineering practices, emphasizing composability, extensibility, and a modern implementation path. As a piece on database infrastructure, the focus is strictly on system architecture and implementation concepts rather than AI products.
