Description

Discussed in https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/discussions/2353

Originally posted by nileshtrivedi June 28, 2022
Has anyone tried porting PostgREST to WASM binary format? This opens the possibility of deploying PostgREST on edge cloud infra like Deno.com - which can be a lot more convenient and cost-effective.

I'm not familiar with Haskell ecosystem. I couldn't find any discussions about WASM in Stack repo.

Research direction

The issue points to discussion 2353 rather than a file or test; start there and review the Haskell and Stack WASM constraints mentioned in the report. Done would require a documented feasibility decision and, if feasible, a scoped path for deploying PostgREST as WASM on Deno.com.
