No A Postgres-compatible, multi-tenant database with its own storage engine, transactions and isolation guarantees is systems software that requires deep database engineering expertise.
What it would actually take: Building a real version means writing a storage engine and query layer, likely in a systems language such as Zig or Rust, that speaks the Postgres wire protocol and passes compatibility tests. The hard parts are MVCC, transaction isolation, crash recovery, tenant isolation and performance benchmarking. It requires a team of experienced database engineers and long development time.
