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.

All the ways to capture changes in Postgres
No. We implemented our own [1] for a few reasons:
* Scaling well to multi-TB DBs without pinning the write-ahead log (potentially filling your DB's disk) while the backfill is happening. Instead, our connector constantly reads the WAL and works well in setups like Supabase that have very restrictive WAL sizes (1GB iirc).
* Incremental fault-tolerant backfills that can be stopped and resumed at will.
* Being able to offer "precise" captures which are logically consistent in terms of the sequence of create/update/delete events.
The last one becomes really interesting when paired with REPLICA IDENTITY FULL, because you can feed it into an incremental computation (perhaps differential dataflow) for streaming updates of a continuous computation.
Our work is based off of the Netflix DBLog paper, which we took and ran with.

Why would you ever not use CDC for ELT?
Our connectors themselves are fully OSS (for example, here's PostgreSQL)

What Is Dbt and Why Are Companies Using It?
We've used https://github.com/estuary/connectors/pkgs/container/source-... to load data sets in the many terabytes. Caveat that, while it's implemented to Airbyte's spec, we've only used it with Flow.

A Technical Dive into PostgreSQL's replication mechanisms
You can LISTEN/NOTIFY. Or you can use logical replication and a custom subscriber.[1] Supabase uses the latter.[2]

Supabase Studio: AI Assistant and User Impersonation
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".

Unpacking Elixir: Observability
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.

All the ways to capture changes in Postgres
Yo :D This is what Supabase Realtime does!
https://github.com/supabase/realtime
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

Supabase Local Dev: migrations, branching, and observability
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.

Writing a chat application in Django 4.2 using async StreamingHttpResponse
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?

How To Kill A Fly With A Shotgun
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.
