Could you build this?
No Embedding Postgres within Rust and Tauri requires compiling PostgreSQL internals to WebAssembly or native embedded targets, managing low-level C FFI bindings, and handling complex IPC/storage layers.
What it would actually take: A real version requires compiling PostgreSQL source code into a sandboxed or embedded static library (similar to PGlite using Emscripten/Wasm) and wrapping it with Rust FFI bindings. It requires handling PostgreSQL memory context management, low-level POSIX file system emulation, virtualized networking, and cross-platform compilation targets for Tauri. Deep systems programming expertise in C, Rust FFI, and PostgreSQL internals is essential.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a model & infra tool for Fintech yet.
