let's see

Money - fits pretty ok, cause your average SQL has decimal type 
for that purpose but there is no built-in one in D

vibe-d - probably because it handles DB connection and/or keep 
things async way, sure you probably can do it with Phobos but it 
will be much more PITA and less performant

stdx-allocator - memory management, and it is also possible to 
reduce GC pauses it is probably uses malloc'ed buffers

derelict-pg - C API wrapper for PostgreSQL

derelict-util - handles function pointers loading for that wrapper


That's it. Why do you think this is bloat? You know, D coders are 
very careful when it comes to using dependencies, it's not like 
in JS where shit got imported just because it exists, so I don't 
get your complains on that.
