nice work! It makes sense that a company that works with postgres would make the lib_postgres adapter.

There are many libcluster adapters already, so what pushed Supabase to make a database backed one? What is the advantage?

I know Supabase has hooks (https://supabase.com/docs/guides/database/webhooks) so is the hope to leverage that tech to trigger something whenever a new node connects?

This is just a feature idea (and perhaps if I have time I'll draw up a PR), but since most folks interacting with Supabase are using Phoenix/Ecto already so it would be nice to configure it with a Repo module and/or database_url rather than a keyword list.
