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’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.

It's an embeddable Postgres you can run in process as a local client DB, just like SQLite but it's actually Postgres.

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].

Just to note that, with TanStack DB, Electric now has first class support for local writes / write-path sync using transactional optimistic mutations:

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.

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].

Hard to raise the bar on Zero. It’s a brilliant system.

Some CDNs also validate JWTs, so the CDN can be the proxy part of the Gatekeeper pattern (in the guide).
