Event sourcing

One of the key aspects of local-first software development is using event sourcing to trigger server-side / background processing.

ElectricSQL doesn't provide yet-another event sourcing solution. Instead it defers to existing change data capture systems that work with Postgres.

This section provides a summary of some of your options, including triggers, logical replication and streaming database integrations.

Change events

Consume data change events from Postgres.

Job queues

Trigger jobs to run background processes and workflows.

Streaming

Integrated advanced streaming data capture and processing systems.

Supabase

Trigger background processing using Supabase Edge Functions.
