PGlite is an embeddable, WASM-based build of Postgres packaged as a TypeScript client library, letting you run Postgres in the browser, Node.js, Bun, and Deno without installing other dependencies. It supports reactive, realtime use and can run as an in-memory database or with persistence to indexedDB (browser) or the filesystem (Node/Bun/Deno).

Recent updates
@electric-sql/pglite@0.5.4
This patch updates how @electric-sql/pglite detects whether it is running in a Node environment by switching from Electron-specific detection to using `process.type`. The change prevents PGlite from incorrectly taking the non-Node filesystem path in Electron main and utility processes, which was previously causing breakage.
@electric-sql/pglite-vue@0.4.4
This release is a patch update for @electric-sql/pglite-vue 0.4.4 that primarily upgrades underlying dependencies. No Vue-specific features, fixes, or behavioral changes are documented in the release notes.
@electric-sql/pglite-react@0.4.4
This is a patch release of @electric-sql/pglite-react that updates its dependency on @electric-sql/pglite. No new React-specific features, bug fixes, or behavioral changes are described in the release notes.
@electric-sql/pglite-sync@0.6.5
This @electric-sql/pglite-sync@0.6.5 release’s notes only indicate a dependency update of @electric-sql/pglite to v0.5.4. However, the actual diff includes additional repository-wide changes, including a new pgmq extension package and runtime environment detection logic updates that can affect filesystem behavior in Electron.
@electric-sql/pglite-socket@0.2.7
This release (@electric-sql/pglite-socket@0.2.7) is a patch update that only bumps versions of related @electric-sql packages. The release notes do not mention any code-level API changes, behavior changes, or bug/security fixes within pglite-socket itself.
@electric-sql/pglite-tools@0.4.4
This patch release updates the @electric-sql/pglite dependency to version 0.5.4. No additional changes, features, or fixes are described in the release notes for @electric-sql/pglite-tools itself.
@electric-sql/pglite-repl@0.4.4
This is a patch release of @electric-sql/pglite-repl that updates its underlying dependencies. The release notes only mention dependency bumps to newer versions of @electric-sql/pglite and @electric-sql/pglite-react, without listing any behavioral changes.
@electric-sql/pglite-prepopulatedfs@0.5.4
This is a patch release of @electric-sql/pglite-prepopulatedfs (0.5.4). The release notes only mention a dependency update to @electric-sql/pglite@0.5.4, with no other behavioral changes documented.
@electric-sql/pglite-postgis@0.2.4
This is a patch release of @electric-sql/pglite-postgis (v0.2.4). The release notes indicate it only updates the underlying @electric-sql/pglite dependency to v0.5.4, with no additional documented API or behavior changes.
@electric-sql/pglite-sync@0.6.4
This patch release fixes synchronization of Electric's `tagged_subqueries` move-in messages in `@electric-sql/pglite-sync` 0.6.4. It addresses missing LSN headers causing incorrect filtering and improves duplicate handling during move-in inserts.
@electric-sql/pglite-socket@0.2.6
This release adds support for the PostgreSQL CancelRequest wire protocol message in @electric-sql/pglite-socket. When a CancelRequest is received during the initial connection phase, PGlite consumes it and silently ignores it so it is not misinterpreted as a malformed startup or typed message. The change is also covered by a new socket-level test that sends a raw CancelRequest and verifies the connection still works afterward.
Features@electric-sql/pglite-pg_textsearch@0.0.5
The release notes for @electric-sql/pglite-pg_textsearch@0.0.5 only state a patch upgrade to 1.3.1, without detailing what changed. The actual diff shows multiple behavioral and API-adjacent updates across pglite core type serialization and extension documentation/UI behavior, plus an updated postgres-pglite subproject commit.
Features@electric-sql/pglite-socket@0.2.5
This is a patch release of @electric-sql/pglite-socket@0.2.5. It only updates a dependency (@electric-sql/pglite-pg_textsearch@0.0.5), with no other documented changes in the release notes.
@electric-sql/pglite-repl@0.4.3
This is a patch release of @electric-sql/pglite-repl with no direct feature or behavior changes described in the release notes. The only documented change is updated dependencies, specifically newer versions of @electric-sql/pglite and @electric-sql/pglite-react.
@electric-sql/pglite-react@0.4.3
This patch release updates the underlying @electric-sql/pglite dependency used by @electric-sql/pglite-react. No additional React-specific features, breaking changes, or bug fixes are described in the release notes beyond this dependency bump.
@electric-sql/pglite-sync@0.6.3
This is a patch release of @electric-sql/pglite-sync. The release notes only mention a dependency update, upgrading @electric-sql/pglite to version 0.5.3.
@electric-sql/pglite-postgis@0.2.3

While the release notes only mention dependency updates, the code diff shows multiple behavioral changes in core PGlite, sync, and tooling packages.
