Sync seems to be having a moment among web developers!

Our second #special is out. Following the great success of @localfirstconf.com in Berlin, we're excited to share more about the vision for SyncConf 2025 in SF. Full episode links and show notes in the comments.

I keep getting into conversations with engineers where I talk about how desperately I want my database to support materialized views with incremental updates and too often I get a blank stare in response. so I wrote a new post about why you should care! sophiebits.com/2025/08/22/m...

One day boutique conference for the sync era of the web. Hear from the world's top builders about how to develop systems in the era of agentic software and real-time sync.

Announcing Sync Conf 2025. Join us in SF on Nov 12th.

Agentic AI, beneath all the hype, is actually just normal software. You can build agentic systems with a database, standard web tooling and real-time sync.

I'm sure if it weren’t for AI, the web dev community would be talking a lot more about sync engines and TanStack DB right now. I just published a short video + blog post to share why I’m so excited about TanStack DB and ElectricSQL! youtu.be/OKHYUISDYmk

TanStack DB with Sync provides an exciting new way to add end-to-end reactivity to your web applications, including optimistic UI updates. 🧵

ElectricSQL recently completed a 120-day reliability sprint. Our one goal: make our sync engine so boring-reliable you stop thinking about it and just build. We chased every incident, fixed every user-reported bug, and made unglamorous work our priority. 🧵

I know I wrote the blog post but holy fuck this is good.

Paired with Electric, TanStack DB provides an optimal end-to-end sync stack for local-first app development. electric-sql.com/blog/2025/07...

Tanstack DB is a reactive client store for building super fast apps on sync. Based on a TypeScript implementation of differential dataflow, it's type-safe, declarative, incrementally adoptable and insanely fast.

Very excited to have reached the Beta milestone with @tanstack.com DB 🚀🎉 It’s been a privilege to work with @tannerlinsley.com and the team on building this, absolute rock stars!

TanStack DB is now in BETA! We’ve been working on TanStack DB, an embedded, reactive client database for TanStack Query, and are proud to announce today that with the 0.1 release that it's now in BETA! tanstack.com/blog/tanstac...

Rare opportunity! Come work at Ink & Switch. Help us make Automerge the best substrate for experimental programming tools and production software alike.

Never thought I'd see that day, but thanks to AI, @tanstack.com react-query now has, for the first time ever, more downloads than react-redux 🤯

Building apps on Postgres? Here how to do it using sync: youtu.be/mDzzK5-XkZ8?...

Excited to release a new starter! Sync-first, production-ready, and blazing fast - @tanstack.com Start - @tanstack.com DB for blazing fast client-side queries - @electric-sql.com for real-time sync from PG - Better-Auth - @drizzleorm.bsky.social - @tailwindcss.com - Hono OpenAPI

Not long now! lu.ma/sync-london Talks are shaping up great and we’re well past venue capacity. @yonz.bsky.social is airborne. @samwillis.uk has sorted out the pineapple cubes and cocktail sausages. If you’re in London on Tuesday and have been lurking so far, now’s your last chance!

Watch @thruflo.com talk about Introducing TanStack DB youtu.be/ia9FpY_Sw_4?...

📣Tune in for #LoFi/27 on Tuesday @ 8AM PST (June 24) for yet another exciting lineup featuring James Arthur @thruflo.com from @electric-sql.com , Rashid Aziz @raz.lol from @basic.tech, and George Antohi.

"wallclock based yolo conflict resolution is the powerhouse of the decentralized system." TRUTH Also I should be making plans to go to Sync Conf syncconf.dev

I'm speaking about syncing Postgres into the client with @electric-sql.com at the SF Bay Area Postgres users groups tomorrow (Tuesday 10th June). Online from noon local time, live stream here: www.meetup.com/postgresql-1...

Here’s @samwillis.uk talking about how we built @pglite.dev and the future of the project at @pgconf.dev in Montreal last month.

We've posted a video of Sam Willis's talk Compiling Postgres to WASM with PGlite (PGConf.dev 2025) https://youtu.be/hlW... #post##postgresqlo##PGConfdev

Are you sync curious? lu.ma/sync-london syncconf.dev

Here's my @localfirstconf.com talk introducing @tanstack.com DB, hexdocs.pm/phoenix_sync, syncconf.dev and arguing that Sync is the key to mainstream adoption of #local-first. youtu.be/ia9FpY_Sw_4?...

When you're vibe-coding, you don't want to think about infra. You want to stay in the zone, iterating and expressing yourself. That means having a database inside your sandbox. No glue, no friction, no external services, no free-tier limits. Forkable, disposable, unlimited and zero cost.

🧵 More play less infra => vibe coding with the database inside the sandbox. Apps built with AI app builders like @bolt.new usually need to connect to a database to actually work. With @pglite.dev you can have the database inside the sandbox, so you can vibe code without even thinking about infra.

My takeaways from this year's @localfirstconf.com Last year we collectively were at the stage of “hey this syncing tech is cool, you don’t need the cloud as much” and “hey, we have a community here, who knew?” This year it felt like the community had more cohesion and sense of identity.

Interested in building on sync? In London or SF? Come along to Sync London on July 1st lu.ma/sync-london -- we're co-organising with @anselm.io and @yonz.bsky.social, great speakers including @irltopper.bsky.social and @triggerdev.bsky.social

Repeat after me, broadcast is not sync.

After 4 years of work, I'm incredibly excited to introduce LiveStore, the next-gen data layer I'm building for Overtone. It's based on reactive SQLite and has a built-in sync engine. Give it a try - would love your feedback!

Introducing TanStack DB @thruflo.com with a great presentation introducing a new front end @tanstack.com library to help progressively adopt sync in any app, with any backend.

For any North American folks having FOMO about @localfirstconf.com, there’s a new conference on sync engines as app architecture! SF in November syncconf.dev

😎 New package `usage_rules` released! Just place a `usage-rules.md` file in your package and users can sync it to their own rules. Good rules leads to a *night and day* difference when using LLMs. But we shouldn't all be having to teach LLMs how to use our tools right 😅 #AshFramework #ElixirLang

We're counting down days! Here’s Everything You Need to Know for Local-First Conf 2025

Off to Berlin for @localfirstconf.com next week - super excited for unconf day on Monday as so many cool people there

All about the sync, bout the sync, no trouble.

Here is a comprehensive list of things that #ElixirLang is not good for. Keep reading for more 👇

Really enjoyed introducing hexdocs.pm/phoenix_sync at @elixirconf.bsky.social this week. So many cool projects in the Elixir ecosystem right now, like hologram.page, github.com/software-man..., tidewave.ai, hexdocs.pm/ash_ai and the incredible 🤯 phoenix.new — get on the waitlist as soon as you can.

@thruflo.com launching Phoenix.Sync at @elixirconf.bsky.social hexdocs.pm/phoenix_sync The demo is that everyone’s phone just got turned into a realtime orchestra. Visceral syncing!

⚙️ JamesArthur.sync_demo(:postgres, :frontend) @thruflo.com live on stage showing how Phoenix Sync bridges your backend and frontend with ease. From Postgres to LiveView to AI — it just works. #ElixirConfEU #PhoenixSync #RealTimeElixir #ElixirLang

Working with your database locally, while you're building, needs to be simple. 🙌 Prisma 6.8.0 just landed: ✅ Local Prisma Postgres (Early Access) ✅ VS Code Agent mode support ✅ Native Deno support ...& more 👉 pris.ly/6.8-blog?ut...

The sync stack is coming.

Announcing TanStack/DB 🎉🥳 A lightweight, reactive, mini-database with IVM that is perfect for both Sync and Fetch. It’s been a lot of fun to build this with @kyle.bricolage.io + @thruflo.com, and collaborate with @tannerlinsley.com. We are incredibly excited for where this can go!

A reactive client store built on differential dataflow. With optimistic mutators and sub-millisecond live queries. This is the missing piece of the jigsaw for modern app dev.

🚨 Big news! We’ve been collaborating with the legendary @tannerlinsley.com and the TanStack team to build something new: TanStack DB — a reactive, normalized, transactional state engine that extends TanStack Query.

Build collaborative applications with CRDTs straight outta Postgres using the new Yjs Electric provider. 🧵 www.npmjs.com/package/@ele...

My colleague @balegas.bsky.social has created an awesome @electric-sql.com integration with the awesome Yjs CRDT toolkit. Sync your edits to a Ydoc via Electric 🚀 Perfect for integration with ProseMirror or TipTap for collaborative rich text editing!
