Zeta-Lite: A Concurrent, Branchable In-Browser SQL Database for Agentic Memory

The browser has become a first-class database host: applications increasingly want to store, query, and reason over structured data entirely on the client - for privacy, offline operation, local-first collaboration, and, most recently, as durable memory for in-browser AI agents. One way to get SQL in the browser, compiling PostgreSQL to WebAssembly (PGlite), inherits PostgreSQL's process model: a single backend connection that executes one statement at a time and blocks. That model cannot express concurrent transactions, and it leaves richer capabilities - graph queries, database branching - to whatever the compiled server happens to include. We present zeta-lite, the browser form factor ...
