Thanks for the suggestion. Is there a particular platform that has WebSockets but no TCP you want to use this on?

IMHO, Postgres.js is faster and lighter than pg and it's API is more similar to the http api so this could be a way to "unify" the api's in this library.

well i thought of using vercel for a project, then i dug deeper i realized they're using this as a dependency, which uses pg.

seconding what @nicksrandall said, i think other users will also benefit from the perf gains.

I sent a PR to postgres.js that implements neon's flavor of sql-over-ws: porsager/postgres#955

FWIW, we are now using this in production: https://github.com/brevitybuilder/postgres
