Thanks from the Electric side to the Casco team for the responsible disclosure, comprehensive repro and great communication through the process.
This was a critical one to identify and patch: https://github.com/electric-sql/electric/security/advisories...
Just to repeat for visibility, if you're self-hosting the Electric sync service, upgrade to version >= 1.5.0 immediately.

I made a little tool for Ralphing on Sprites:

I’ve found the sprites just work for claude. Pull how a repo (or repos) and run dangerously.

ElectricSQL | https://electric-sql.com | Founders Associate | FT | US based, SF Bay Area preferred (working with remote team) | $140-160k + equity
Electric is a devtools startup. We solve reactive, real-time sync across client and server [1]. We have a large developer community, millions of downloads a week, high profile customers and top-tier investors. Our software is built into platforms like Firebase, Prisma and TanStack. Our cloud product is growing 7% week on week.
This is a generalist, operational role. Working directly with the founders and founding team [2] to handle company operations as we grow into and through the Series stages.
It would be ideal if you're based in the San Francisco Bay Area. If not, you need to be able to travel there every month or so. You also need to travel to Europe for team on-sites a few times a year.

This is very much the point of https://pglite.dev
It's an embeddable Postgres you can run in process as a local client DB, just like SQLite but it's actually Postgres.

Just to say if you're interested in this kind of tech and are in the Bay Area, Sync Conf [0] just announced [1] its initial speaker lineup today and Arushi Bandi from Figma is one of the speakers.

PubSub and LiveView do go a long way. However, broadcast isn't sync and LiveView isn't appropriate for all applications.
Phoenix recently added Phoenix.Sync [0], a sync engine library explicitly designed [1] to address this. In combination with a front-end library like TanStack DB [2] it goes much further towards giving you a Figma/Linear-style sync engine out of the box [3].

> Electric’s approach is compelling given it works with existing Postgres databases. However, one gap remains to fill, how to handle mutations?
Just to note that, with TanStack DB, Electric now has first class support for local writes / write-path sync using transactional optimistic mutations:

This is the VM behind Popcorn https://github.com/software-mansion/popcorn, a project aiming to run OTP and Elixir in WASM:

On your last point: https://pglite.dev
On the main point around materialisation cost, I know more work is planned on compaction specifically but generally LiveStore is a framework that’s been highly crafted to address and optimise for all aspects of performance.

There are lots of options to stream data out of Postgres, including:

Etc.

This looks really cool, congrats!

Electric is a read-path sync engine for Postgres that does partial replication [1]. It's agnostic to your choice of client -- you can sync into anything you like. It doesn't handle or mandate a pattern for syncing local writes back to Postgres. Instead, it's designed to allow you to handle concerns like writes and auth using your existing API [2].
Turso Offline Sync is an active-active replication system for distributed SQLite/Turso databases. IIUC, this release adds the capability to sync local writes back to the cloud [3].
