Show HN: ElectricSQL, Postgres to SQLite active-active sync for local-first apps
Hi HN, James, Valter, Sam and the team from ElectricSQL here.<p>We're really excited to be sharing ElectricSQL with you today. It's an open source, local-first sync layer that can be used to build reactive, realtime, offline-capable apps directly on Postgres with two way active-active sync to SQLite (including with WASM in the browser).<p>Electric comprises a sync layer (built with Elixir) placed in front of your Postgres database and a type safe client that allows you to bidirectionally sync data from your Postgres to local SQLite databases. This sync is CRDT-based, resilient to conflicting edits from multiple nodes at the same time, and works after being offline for extended periods.<p>Some good links to get started:<p>- website: <a href="https://electric-sql.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://electric-sql.com</a><p>- docs: <a href="https://electric-sql.com/docs" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://electric-sql.com/docs</a><p>- code: <a href="https://github.com/electric-sql/electric">https://github.com/electric-sql/electric</a><p>- introducing post: <a href="https://electric-sql.com/blog/2023/09/20/introducing-electricsql-v0.6" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://electric-sql.com/blog/2023/09/20/introducing-electri...</a><p>You can also see some demo applications:<p>- Linear clone: <a href="https://linear-lite.electric-sql.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://linear-lite.electric-sql.com</a><p>- Realtime demo: <a href="https://electric-sql.com/docs/intro/multi-user" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://electric-sql.com/docs/intro/multi-user</a><p>- Conflict-free offline: <a href="https://electric-sql.com/docs/intro/offline" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://electric-sql.com/docs/intro/offline</a><p>The Electric team actually includes two of the inventors of CRDTs, Marc Shapiro and Nuno Preguiça, and a number of their collaborators who've pioneered a lot of tech underpinning local-first software. We are privileged to be building on their research and delighted to be surfacing so much work in a product you can now try out.
