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: 🧵👇

There's some really interesting work afoot with Durable computing durable streams, & loved seeing @kyle.bricolage.io immediately double down with my long ask, durable promises (downthread). Representing the system as data, more than implicit compute, manifests the virtual. bsky.app/profile/elec...

Today we're open-sourcing Durable Streams: a persistent stream primitive and HTTP protocol for reliable, resumable, real-time data streaming to clients. We built it inside Electric. Now we're standardizing it as a standalone protocol.

This has been an incredibly fun project to work on! And hats off to @samwillis.uk and Kevin De Porre who have done some real wizardry here. Queries can now be compiled into almost any sort of data loading scheme you can imagine w/ tons of built-in optimizations.

🚀 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 👇

We just posted an ambitious new RFC for TanStack DB! "On-Demand Collection Loading via loadSubset" github.com/TanStack/db/...

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...

My favorite type of conference — 1 day, single track with a ton of great folks to chat with

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

You can just write to a database

Agentic AI, beneath all the hype, is actually just normal software. You can build agentic systems with a database, standard web tooling and real-time sync.

We've just delivered a 100x write performance bump with our latest release of Electric. How? We threw away our storage engine and built a new one designed for sync 🧵 electric-sql.com/blog/2025/08...

On our diligent quest to become "boring software" you can pick without a second thought.

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. 🧵

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!

I've always wanted to contribute to open source. People said contribute to things that you want to use or fix bugs that you have in there. This indeed works, wanted to use solid with TanStack DB, but there was no solidjs integration yet. So I built one and learned a lot in the process.

TanStack DB now has @svelte.dev support!

Excited to announce the initial release of the Trailbase integration with TanStack DB! Trailbase is a blazingly fast, open-source, single-executable Firebase alternative.

PGlite (WASM Postgres) now gets over 1 million downloads a week! 🤯🚀 Absolutely incredible to see how people have embraced what we have built. Awesome work by the team!

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

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

First time TanStack DB's been on stage – if you're curious what it's all about & how it fits with Electric, give this a watch

Here's my @localfirstconf.com talk introducing @tanstack.com DB, hexdocs.pm/phoenix_sync, syncconf.dev and arguing that Sync is the key to mainstream adoption of #local-first. youtu.be/ia9FpY_Sw_4?...

🧵 More play less infra => vibe coding with the database inside the sandbox. Apps built with AI app builders like @bolt.new usually need to connect to a database to actually work. With @pglite.dev you can have the database inside the sandbox, so you can vibe code without even thinking about infra.

Interested in building on sync? In London or SF? Come along to Sync London on July 1st lu.ma/sync-london -- we're co-organising with @anselm.io and @yonz.bsky.social, great speakers including @irltopper.bsky.social and @triggerdev.bsky.social

Introducing TanStack DB @thruflo.com with a great presentation introducing a new front end @tanstack.com library to help progressively adopt sync in any app, with any backend.
