Could you build this?
No Building a PostgreSQL C extension that speaks HTTP/2 and gRPC requires deep knowledge of Postgres internals, memory contexts, and low-level network concurrency.
What it would actually take: Requires writing a PostgreSQL extension in C or Rust (pgrx) linking against gRPC Core/C++ or Tonic, carefully handling Postgres backend process architecture, signals, memory contexts (palloc), and async event loops within synchronous Postgres worker execution. Memory safety, connection pooling across transactions, and binary protobuf serialization/deserialization inside PG extensions demand deep systems programming and database internals expertise.
