Post run, half baked thought: In memory store, flush to S3 every N interval. Reader replicas straight from S3 (?) New S3 primitives (conditional writes, and append only) for strong consistency and other good semantics. Costs ? Unknown 💸

Very heartwarming to see other companies finding pg_easy_replicate (born out of @TinesEng) useful for large scale PostgreSQL migrations 🫶🏽 github.com/shayonj/pg_e...

Just realized with pg_flo you can use the same DB as both source & destination. This lets you create shadow tables & remap data flows within a single DB using the routing feature. Useful for data migrations when you need time to verify data integrity! www.pgflo.io

Happy to see pg_flo in top 5 on Hacker News today. Looks like all positive feedback. Excited to continue hacking on it.

Wrote a few words about using #PostgreSQL page location (CTID) for large data cleanups as a workaround www.shayon.dev/post/2024/30...

Just shipped the v1 of new table routing feature in pg_flo. This way you can easily route PostgreSQL changes to different tables & column names in the target database. Lots more soon. In the mean time, a small and simple site: www.pgflo.io

Noodling on a tool to sync (CDC)between Postgres DBs. Define rules to anonymize, filter, or transform data before it reaches the destination. Considering a cloud version as well to keep it zero-touch-ops. Just setup & go. Early days, open to feedback. Design is flexible github.com/shayonj/pg_flo

Ok so turns out this is possible! There's a Chrome extension called Sky Follower Bridge that does the matching for you. This worked with zero drama.
