Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Pg_branch: Pre-alpha Postgres extension brings Neon-like branching
Underlying DBLab Engine is FOSS (Apache 2.0), with API, CLI and UI https://github.com/postgres-ai/database-lab-engine
-
Want to avoid MySQL but find PlanetScale really appealing
That said, there are a few folks out there attempting it. As mentioned, Neon attempts branching but has no "merge". Postgres.ai has "thin clones" for similar migration testing but again, no "merge".

Neon – Serverless Postgres
Agreed, this direction is underestimated and should be developed better -- we (Postgres.ai) do it for any Postgres with our Database Lab Engine [1], and Neon would bring even more power if it's installed on production

Elixir Nitpicks
What do you mean testing with processes?
I won't suggest these are the best written tests, but I test various processes, supervisors, etc like this:

PostgreSQL Is Enough
You don’t send the entire WAL, just what you subscribe to - and you can even filter via SQL: https://github.com/cpursley/walex?tab=readme-ov-file#publica...

Fly Postgres, Managed by Supabase
What we do is much if the business logic in Postgres. But then there’s all the other stuff like external integrations, etc.
We handled that by having an Even system built on the Postgres WAL that we use like a callback system.
I put together a little library in Elixir (that originally started out as forked Supabase realtime) for this:
https://github.com/cpursley/walex
Recently added the ability to configure WalEx to forward events to webhooks or EventRelay (so you don’t need to know Elixir).

All the ways to capture changes in Postgres
If you're using Elixir, check out https://github.com/cpursley/walex
I've actually been thinking about turning this idea into a product where you can just point it at your postgres database and select the tables you want to listen to (with filters, like you describe). And have that forwarded to a webhook (with possibility of other protocols).
I'd love to hear folks thoughts on that (and if it would be something people would pay for).

Show HN: ElectricSQL, Postgres to SQLite active-active sync for local-first apps
Neat, this is the pattern I've been thinking about for a while now. Also glad to see this is Elixir based.
I've been using https://github.com/cpursley/walex (basically a fork of cainophile via a fork for subabase) to listen to Postgres changes in Elixir.

Which is based on WAL logs and doesnt have the same limitations.

PostgreSQL Logical Replication Gotchas
Great writeup, just added this to the WalEx readme:
https://github.com/cpursley/walex
(WalEx is an Elixir lib for listening to the WAL and perform callback-like actions with the data)
-
We used Elixir's Observer to hunt down bottlenecks
Very cool.
I'm using Elixir to listen to change events via https://github.com/cpursley/walex (which I basically ripped off from Supabase).
