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: https://github.com/thruflo/wisp

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

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.

For sure. I’m curious if anyone using it in production as an alternative to SQLite and, if so, what the performance and experience is like.

I wish this were available for Go lang, perhaps via Wazero.

ncruces · 2025-09-22T16:57:33 1758560253

Me too. There's only so much time in life. I'd take it for a spin if someone else did it. :)

Ah, I thought I recognized your username from a Github URL. :D Thank you for your contributions in the SQLite & Go space!

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].

A sync engine plus the always online nature of LiveView feels at odds with offline-first (which is often associated with sync engines). I wish LiveView had a better offline story.

> 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:

> Popcorn is a library that allows you to run client-side Elixir in browsers, with Javascript interoperability
