Untangling the LLM spaghetti

LLMs are generating code. That code is imperatively fetching data. That leads to a big ball of spaghetti.

}Sync makes apps awesome
Sync is the magic ingredient behind fast, modern software. From apps like Figma and Linear to multi-user, multi-agent AI apps.
Electric solves sync
Electric is a Postgres sync engine. It solves the hard problems of sync for you, including partial replication, fan-out, and data delivery.
So you can build awesome software — without rolling your own sync.
With your existing stack
Electric works with any any Postgres, any data model and any web framework. that speaks HTTP and JSON It syncs data out of Postgres into anything you like, from a Javascript state variable to a local SQL database.
Your database
Your app
So you can adopt sync incrementally, one route at a time, into both greenfield and brownfield applications.
Scales to millions of users
Electric uses standard CDNs to scale high-throughput data delivery to millions of users.
The chart below shows latency and memory-use stay low and flat as we scale up-to an 80Gb/s workload to a million concurrent users from a single commodity Postgres.
You can host it yourself or use the Electric Cloud platform for managed sync with a built-in data delivery network.
No siloes. No black boxes.
Just real-time sync, solved. It’s all open source and it’s all just Postgres and HTTP.
Used by world leading companies
Built into developer tools like Firebase and Supabase. Used in production by products like Trigger.dev, Otto and Doorboost.
“We use ElectricSQL to power Trigger.dev Realtime, a core feature of our product. It's simple to operate as we already use Postgres, and it scales to millions of updates per day.”
— Matt Aitken, CEO, Trigger.dev
“ElectricSQL enables us to reliably stream agent updates in real-time at scale. It has dramatically simplified our architecture while delivering cell-level reactive updates.
— Sully Omar, CEO, Otto
Backed by industry insiders
Built by devtools and database experts. Backed by industry leading founders.
Fully open source
With a thriving open source community and over 600,000 downloads a week.
PGlite
Embeddable Postgres
Electric also develops PGlite, a lightweight WASM Postgres with real-time, reactive bindings.
