Postgres in Rust passing all tests is a major infrastructure milestone with high industry impact.
Summary
pgrust, a Rust rewrite of Postgres 18.3, passes 46,000 regression queries and is disk-compatible with existing Postgres data directories. An in-development version switches from process-per-connection to thread-per-connection, achieving 50% faster transactional performance and 300x faster analytical performance (currently 2x slower than Clickhouse on clickbench, with goals to surpass it). The project combines Rust's safety with AI-assisted programming to make Postgres internals more malleable for deeper server changes.
