Versioning data in Postgres? Testing a Git like approach
It was reimplemented in pure SQL here https://github.com/nearform/temporal_tables for this purpose

All the ways to capture changes in Postgres
I enjoyed this blog. I think it provides a great succinct overview of various approaches native to Postgres.
For the "capture changes in an audit table" section, I've had good experiences at a previous company with the Temporal Tables pattern. Unlike other major RDBMS vendors, it's not built into Postgres itself, but there's a simple pattern [1] you can leverage with a SQL function.
This allows you to see a table's state as of a specific point in time. Some sample use cases:
- "What was this user's configuration on Aug 12?"
- "How many records were unprocessed at 11:55pm last night?"
- "Show me the diff on feature flags between now and a week ago"

Show HN: I made a CMS that uses Git to store your data
One of these Postgres-based implementations of SQL:2011's temporal versioning features might get you close enough:

How to implement row changes history?
You don't really need to install an extension to use temporal tables, there is an alternative (https://github.com/nearform/temporal_tables) implemented purely as a plpgsql trigger so that it works everywhere.

Temporal Tables PostgreSQL Extension
I was part of a team at NearForm using this for a project on an EC2 instance. In order to move to AWS RDS we had to recreate the functionality of temporal_tables as a PostgreSQL function, rather than extension.
When we switched, we found that although there were minor bugs, we didn't have any noticeable loss of performance and we have used it ever since for many projects.

If you're also limited by cloud services and the extensions limitations, this is a great solution.

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.
