Wow, this is exactly what I've been searching for! I knew this was possible but am too busy trying to build web apps to spend time learning how to do stuff like this.

I notice this is still a 0.X version. How comfortable are you with people using this in production? Are there any success stories so far? And if it's not production ready, is there a roadmap I can check out?

The company I work for is in the process of planning a complete rework of our app and right now is the time for us to choose technologies. I so very much want to use this or something like this.

Hey, very cool :)

We don't recommend production use right now. There's a roadmap page here https://electric-sql.com/docs/reference/roadmap -- we particularly need to flesh out shapes, permissions and validation.

Happy to chat (e.g. on our Discord) if you'd like a bit more detail / looking at whether Electric could fit into your tech pans.

  • Thanks for the roadmap, I should have just looked around the site a bit more, I would have found it.

    And, I may take you up on a chat after I've had a conversation with my team! At the very least, I've joined the Discord and I'll definitely be following you guys closely.

Since you mentioned this — you could also take a look at PowerSync which is similar (disclosure: co-founder) https://docs.powersync.co/ - Currently beta suitable for production use.

  • Yes, saw your other comment! ;) I will definitely be checking this out as well. I am so glad folks are finally creating real solutions in this space.
