  • Elixir clustering using Postgres
    4 projects | dev.to | 25 Jan 2024
    Now we can replicate the same behavior in Elixir and Postgrex within IEx (Elixir's interactive shell).
  • TIL: Non standard postgres types in livebook
    2 projects | dev.to | 8 Jan 2023
    But I found a problem when the data type is not supported by postgrex. In this case, you can either have to write a custom postgrex extension like the example here. In postgrex GitHub repo, there are many examples for common data types, but XML is missing there.

    It sounds like Supabase is pulling out the WAL listening bits into its own library?

    If so, y'all might want to look into: https://github.com/elixir-ecto/postgrex/blob/master/lib/post...

    Wen Bo from the Supabase Realtime team here!

    We actually use https://github.com/supabase/walrus to get the database changes and we're planning on moving to a Rust worker (https://github.com/supabase/walrus/tree/worker/worker) for better performance especially in the RLS-enabled use case.

    I promised José that I would check out Postgrex.ReplicationConnection and we might add it in to our Supabase Realtime some time in the future.

    [Supabase cofounder] thanks for the kind words.

    We're about to wrap up Row Level Security on our real-time APIs too[0] - soon you'll be able to use Policies universally on all APIs.
