"We propose a new way of seeing agents: the agent is the durable stream. Everything else is a projection." Agents don’t live in a sandbox or your machine. Agents are data, agents are addressable and everyone can run compute on the agent data.

That's 168ms -> 1.6ms! and we have a lot of good ideas how to make it even faster.

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.

"plain HTTP, and a Postgres DB". Really nice example of how @electric-sql.com is really easy to integrate into your app.

PGlite (WASM Postgres) now gets over 1 million downloads a week! 🤯🚀 Absolutely incredible to see how people have embraced what we have built. Awesome work by the team!

I've been working on a new Y.js synchronization server for the past few weeks now. Today, I've hit a milestone for it, multiple clients synchronizing their documents & cursor updates! I threw together a demo with blocknote.js.org and it works! OSS: see the code at: github.com/nperez0111/m...

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.

Just realized that AI will make those lofi hip hop livestreams on youtube really good.

Sync allows building APIs with minimal contracts. Why does it matter? As AI accelerates software development beyond human speed, your APIs must evolve in seconds, not days. Only sync engines give you that flexibility. We've recently launched Electric Cloud BETA. It's never been easier to try sync.

AI apps are inherently collaborative between users and agents. You can't just have the agent state in the cloud. You need to keep the users in the loop. That means you need to build them on sync. electric-sql.com/blog/2025/04...

AI apps are collaborative. Building them requires solving resumeability, interruptability, multi‑tab, multi‑device and multi‑user.

Our Postgres in WASM project, @pglite.dev, has hit 1/2 million downloads a week! 🤯 We (@electric-sql.com) have a lot planned for (native... 😉) PGlite this year, exciting times ahead!

Had a great time last night. - Many familiar faces, but a lot more newcomers - people are exploring local first tech to solve problems they have - with interests ranging low-level optimizations, to high-performance state management, this is a very rich and diverse community!

bsky.app feels like a fresh start. I'll try again.
