Ready in what sense? Are you worried about bugs, performance, specific features you need?

We're moving pretty fast so jumping in and reporting bugs and working with us to design features is super helpful.

We're also pretty keen on the server ivm use case so would love it if you explore that

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...

Materialized views are obviously useful

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.

perhaps yeah — depends on what you're using convex for. The goal is to help you build incredibly fast apps

You can just write to a database

We've just delivered a 100x write performance bump with our latest release of Electric. How? We threw away our storage engine and built a new one designed for sync 🧵

How we built a new storage engine for Electric, why we did it now, and how it delivers lower latency, higher throughput, and zero‑downtime deploys.

Curious if you've looked at TanStack DB? You could model data with that and switch between collections pretty easily as it has a local storage option

thanks!

You're building something with Electric?!

It was sort of a big catchup to get bug count to zero. Address all the little (and some big) things we saw before 1.0. Ongoing it'll be a more "get to bug zero" every week type thing. Fix bugs as they come up.

120 days of hardening – the post‑1.0 reliability sprint | ElectricSQL

Our last quarter was a reliability sprint. We set one goal: make ElectricSQL so boring‑reliable that you stop thinking about it and just build.

On our diligent quest to become "boring software" you can pick without a second thought.

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. 🧵

absolutely!

Depending on how involved your setup is, it could make to create a custom collection — or if it's fetch w/ real-time sync from trpc — this PR w/ QueryCollection would work for you I believe
