A Rust implementation?

[teymour-aldridge]

I noticed that there is a Rust implementation of the Postgres client, but not for the server. I think that the server would benefit from the speed a Rust implementation (possibly more than the client) could bring.
This should maybe be in the realtime repository instead.

You're right about the client rust libraries. Bobbie has already started some of this work here: https://github.com/supabase/postgrest-rs
This library will get wrapped into a supabase/supabase-rs library which provides the broader functionality (sockets, auth etc).

As for re-writing the servers, Rust is very interesting for us and maybe one day there will be a re-write! Right now we want to build fast using languages which have massive community support. Node/Js has that feature (for better or worse), and we're a small team so we need a language which anyone in the team can jump into the code at any time. The realtime server is written in elixir for its concurrency and fault tolerance, so it's a unique case in our repos.

Also check out PostgREST: https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/. We use this heavily in Supabase but it's not one of our own repos, just a tool which we know and love. It's written in Haskell and Supabase wouldn't exist without it
