No one using postgres in the cloud is going to use this as an alternative, but there are at least two use cases where this could be very useful:

- You want your app to be local first (snappy, great offline support, etc) but sync data to a server. This is the ElectricSQL use case.

- You want a serious data store in-browser. SQLite via wasm already fits this use case, but it's nice to have options.
