Introduction

WorkaDB embeds PostgreSQL 18.1 directly into your process. It eliminates the need for a postmaster, sockets, or background workers while preserving PostgreSQL SQL semantics. This is essential for mobile platforms where running a server process is not viable.

WorkaDB focuses on three goals:

  • Provide full PostgreSQL behavior for local-first apps.
  • Offer a stable ABI for long-term compatibility.
  • Keep initialization and lifecycle deterministic and host-driven.
