Live Share: Connect to in-browser PGlite with any Postgres client

What's this blog post about?

Database.build, an in-browser Postgres sandbox with AI assistance, has introduced a new feature called Live Share. This feature allows users to connect to their in-browser PGlite databases from outside the browser using any Postgres client. The connection is established through a unique Postgres connection string that appears when choosing Live Share from the sidebar menu of a database created on database.build. Some tools that can be connected to this include pg_dump, ORM, and IDEs. However, there are limitations such as only one Postgres client being able to connect at a time due to PGlite's single-user mode compilation. Additionally, the service is transitioning from postgres.new to database.build for clarity and accurate representation of its offerings. All projects mentioned in this update are open source.
