pgrust passes 100% of the Postgres regression tests
Developers have created 'pgrust,' a rewrite of the PostgreSQL database engine using the Rust programming language. The project has achieved full compatibility with Postgres regression tests and aims to make the database codebase more accessible for future improvements.
Why it matters
Demonstrates the growing trend of using memory-safe languages like Rust to modernize critical, legacy infrastructure software.
pgrust is a Postgres rewrite in Rust that I’ve been working on with my friend Jason Seibel. It targets compatibility with Postgres 18.3, passes the PostgreSQL regression tests, and now also passes the isolation tests.
