Products that do what Pgstream – CDC tool for PostgreSQL with DDL support does

Hi HN, pgstream is an open source CLI tool and Go library for Postgres logical replication events. We have some bigger plans with it, but as of now its main "differentiator" is that it includes not only data changes but also DDL changes in the same ordered and consistent stream. We have developed this because in the Xata platform we handle automatic replication from Postgres to Elasticsearch/OpenSearch. Initially schema changes were problematic because they required us intercepting them at the API layer and then apply them to the search engine. But if the replication is slightly delayed…

    Hey HN! We recently launched a new capability to Hasura GraphQL Engine: Streaming Subscriptions for Postgres. Today we have a variety of solutions to ingest and store a large amount of data or a stream of data. However, once this data has been captured, securely exposing this data as a continuous stream to a large number of HTTP clients concurrently is a challenge. These are the challenges that Hasura aims to address: 1. Allow for Authorization rules so that clients can only consume the subset of the stream they have access to 2. Prevent missing events and allow each client to move through…

    Open-source schema based Change-Data-Capture utility for Postgres▲5

    I am currently working on a Node.js utility for a schema-based approach on CDC for Postgres. It is a lightweight utility that you can plug on top of your existing WAL events service (eg. Debezium, WAL-listener...) and allows you to define schemas to listen to. Instead of listening to raw individual table-level events, you can aggregate those events into high-level schema events automatically. Conceptually, it is like having WAL events but on an SQL view, any modification to a table the view is based on would trigger a high-level event on the view itself. This has many real-world applications…

    TeamPostgreSQL, neat admin interface for PostgreSQL▲10

    I am just getting ready to release TeamPostgreSQL 1.05. You can check it out here: http://www.teampostgresql.com It is a web-based admin interface for PostgreSQL, with a lot of work put into making it a user-friendly and productive way to work with the database. Hopefully this makes it ideal for when different people need to access the database, including developers, testers, support staff, managers etc. This will be the first release after several months of beta testing and user feedback. Some feature highlights: * Pretty neat web interface (GWT powered AJAX GUI) * Comprehensive database…
