Neon now has realtime, built by the team behind Electric. Turn any SQL query into a live query, joins and aggregates included. All inside Postgres, and ready for agents. It’s in public beta and available in all Neon plans. Give it a try and tell us what you think! neon.com/blog/neon-no...

If you're running into multi-agent coordination challenges, it's a great time to give Electric Agents a try.

Electric Agents 0.6 is out, with a whole bunch of DX and AX improvements,, including local and remote agent runners, desktop and mobile apps. If you haven't tried it yet, now's a great time to dive in: electric.ax/blog/2026/06...

Introducing Electric Agents! Agents are not compute. Agents are data. Multi-agent is a sync problem. Electric Agents is the first agent platform built on sync. Use it to build scalable, collaborative, long-lived multi-agent systems: 🧵👇

StreamDB - a reactive database in a Durable Stream, designed for AI apps and agentic session state. You give it a Standard Schema. You get type-safe, multiplexed data sync into TanStack DB: electric-sql.com/blog/2026/03...

SQLite-backed persistence, hierarchical includes and reactive effects for workflows/agents. @electric-sql.com just got so much more *app shaped* with the new @tanstack.com DB release. electric-sql.com/blog/2026/03...

PGlite v0.4 is out 🚀 PostGIS, connection multiplexing, and a major architecture refactor - bringing embedded Postgres closer to native. Now at 13M+ weekly downloads and showing up everywhere from CI to browser-based dev environments. electric-sql.com/blog/2026/03...

The first batch of talks are published, the remaining will be published by end of week. 🌟 youtube.com/playlist?lis...

for this holiday season we've added little fairies to tldraw.com who can work with you on the canvas. they're not very good but they try hard. and they can work together!

Awesome intro to Sync Conf from @thruflo.com, asking the question where sync fits in this fast changing world of AI. Sync, as it happens, is a key component to this bright future!

You didn’t think we weren’t going to drop something big today for @syncconf.bsky.social did you? Query-driven sync. In @tanstack.com DB. No re-write needed. Let’s do this 🔥

🚀 TanStack DB 0.5 is here with Query-Driven Sync Your component's query IS the API call. No custom endpoints. No GraphQL resolvers. Just write your query and DB figures out exactly what to fetch. Details 🧵👇

Full lineup and schedule for @syncconf.bsky.social in SF on Nov 12. Link in the 🧵 below 👇

If you find yourself in SF next week, @almog.xyz is talking about SlateDB at the SF Systems Meetup on Wednesday!

🎮 Like CRDTs and videogames? @inkandswitch.com is ✨hiring✨ for a project that combines @automerge.org with @godotengine.org to make the next generation of collaboration tools for game development! More detail here: inkandswitch.com/jobs/godot-i... (Fully remote 🌍🌎🌏 contract, late Nov to April)

The panel at Sync Conf 2025 brings together @tannerlinsley.com, @jamescowling.dev, @schickling.dev and @aaronboodman.com for a deep dive into challenges and tradeoffs between the technical approaches being explored in sync today.

It was agonizing to choose from among the 34 excellent submissions, but here are the four talks selected from our CFP process!

James Arthur @thruflo.com is building @electric-sql.com, the sync engine behind @tanstack.com and @elixir-lang.org. At Sync Conf 2025, he’ll kick things off with an intro on why sync matters for AI apps and agentic systems, including a demo of sync-based software in action.

Sync seems to be having a moment among web developers!

Our second #special is out. Following the great success of @localfirstconf.com in Berlin, we're excited to share more about the vision for SyncConf 2025 in SF. Full episode links and show notes in the comments.

I keep getting into conversations with engineers where I talk about how desperately I want my database to support materialized views with incremental updates and too often I get a blank stare in response. so I wrote a new post about why you should care! sophiebits.com/2025/08/22/m...

One day boutique conference for the sync era of the web. Hear from the world's top builders about how to develop systems in the era of agentic software and real-time sync.

Announcing Sync Conf 2025. Join us in SF on Nov 12th.

I'm sure if it weren’t for AI, the web dev community would be talking a lot more about sync engines and TanStack DB right now. I just published a short video + blog post to share why I’m so excited about TanStack DB and ElectricSQL! youtu.be/OKHYUISDYmk

TanStack DB with Sync provides an exciting new way to add end-to-end reactivity to your web applications, including optimistic UI updates. 🧵

ElectricSQL recently completed a 120-day reliability sprint. Our one goal: make our sync engine so boring-reliable you stop thinking about it and just build. We chased every incident, fixed every user-reported bug, and made unglamorous work our priority. 🧵

I know I wrote the blog post but holy fuck this is good.

Paired with Electric, TanStack DB provides an optimal end-to-end sync stack for local-first app development. electric-sql.com/blog/2025/07...

Tanstack DB is a reactive client store for building super fast apps on sync. Based on a TypeScript implementation of differential dataflow, it's type-safe, declarative, incrementally adoptable and insanely fast.

Very excited to have reached the Beta milestone with @tanstack.com DB 🚀🎉 It’s been a privilege to work with @tannerlinsley.com and the team on building this, absolute rock stars!

TanStack DB is now in BETA! We’ve been working on TanStack DB, an embedded, reactive client database for TanStack Query, and are proud to announce today that with the 0.1 release that it's now in BETA! tanstack.com/blog/tanstac...

Rare opportunity! Come work at Ink & Switch. Help us make Automerge the best substrate for experimental programming tools and production software alike.

Never thought I'd see that day, but thanks to AI, @tanstack.com react-query now has, for the first time ever, more downloads than react-redux 🤯

Excited to release a new starter! Sync-first, production-ready, and blazing fast - @tanstack.com Start - @tanstack.com DB for blazing fast client-side queries - @electric-sql.com for real-time sync from PG - Better-Auth - @drizzleorm.bsky.social - @tailwindcss.com - Hono OpenAPI

Not long now! lu.ma/sync-london Talks are shaping up great and we’re well past venue capacity. @yonz.bsky.social is airborne. @samwillis.uk has sorted out the pineapple cubes and cocktail sausages. If you’re in London on Tuesday and have been lurking so far, now’s your last chance!

Watch @thruflo.com talk about Introducing TanStack DB youtu.be/ia9FpY_Sw_4?...

📣Tune in for #LoFi/27 on Tuesday @ 8AM PST (June 24) for yet another exciting lineup featuring James Arthur @thruflo.com from @electric-sql.com , Rashid Aziz @raz.lol from @basic.tech, and George Antohi.

"wallclock based yolo conflict resolution is the powerhouse of the decentralized system." TRUTH Also I should be making plans to go to Sync Conf syncconf.dev
