pg-native: PostgreSQL Native Bindings

verified May 27, 2026

`pg-native` provides high-performance native bindings for Node.js to PostgreSQL, leveraging the `libpq` C library for direct communication. As of version 3.7.0, it offers both asynchronous (callback-based) and synchronous API operations. Its key differentiators include superior performance compared to pure JavaScript alternatives, owing to its native implementation, and the unique provision of synchronous database interactions. While synchronous operations can be convenient for scripting or application bootstrapping, they are generally discouraged for non-blocking server environments due to their blocking nature. `pg-native` is part of the broader `node-postgres` ecosystem but requires `libpq` to be installed on the host system for compilation and runtime. The project demonstrates a healthy release cadence and active maintenance, with recent updates and community interaction.
