SupaScript VS realtime

I also wrote this library, which makes things even more node/deno like: https://github.com/burggraf/supascript

You can also check out my SupaScript extension here, which may give you access to other node libraries you may need: https://github.com/burggraf/SupaScript

And I write a majority of my functions using Javascript and even have access to a lot of npm libraries. (I wrote https://github.com/burggraf/SupaScript for this purpose).

You should also look at my SupaScript repo on github. This is a wrapper on PLV8 that lets you write functions in Javascript with NodeJS and Deno-like functionality. It also makes it MUCH easier to work with JSON data and make HTTP calls to API providers. If you're comfortable with NodeJS, you'll find it pretty easy to write Postgres functions with this.

You can LISTEN/NOTIFY. Or you can use logical replication and a custom subscriber.[1] Supabase uses the latter.[2]

Supabase Realtime is great for building collaborative applications. You can receive database changes over websockets, store and synchronize data about user presence, and broadcast any data to clients via "channels".

We use :telemetry to collect usage data per tenant for Supabase Realtime.

We do this for rate limiting but it also makes it very easy for us to attach a listener (https://github.com/supabase/realtime/blob/main/lib/realtime/...) which ships these (per second) aggregates to BigQuery (via Logflare), which then the billing team can aggregate further to display and actually bill people with.

Yo :D This is what Supabase Realtime does!

Spin up a Supabase database and then subscribe to changes with WebSockets.

You can play with it here once you have a db: https://realtime.supabase.com/inspector/new

Every project is a Postgres database, wrapped in a suite of tools like Auth, Storage, Edge Functions, Realtime and Vectors, and encompassed by API middleware and logs.

Where can I learn more about this? I've been thinking of trying to integrate Supabase Realtime (https://github.com/supabase/realtime) into my Django app (without the rest of Supabase), but I'd also like to keep things even simpler if possible.

Also, what was the reason not to go with Gevent?

I believe #2 was the main driver for the supabase team to build their real-time component: https://github.com/supabase/realtime

As a minor note, one of the linked articles talks about having used RethinkDB for its changefeeds and I made a mental note a bit back that if I ever want that supabase's realtime ( https://github.com/supabase/realtime ) provides something rather like that atop Postgres and I should try that before doing anything clever.
