Documentation

How to build fast, modern apps and multi-agent systems with Electric.

Getting started

Start with the Quickstart for the fastest way to get up-and-running.

The easiest way to use Electric in production is the Electric Cloud. Alternatively, the Deployment guide covers how to self host.

What's documented where?

🔭  Product documentation is split across multiple sites

It's worth taking a moment to understand what's documented where.

This website contains the main documentation for Postgres Sync.

Usage examples and recipes often use Postgres Sync together with TanStack DB. Guides like Auth and Security are also generally relevant for Durable Streams.

Project websites

Durable Streams, TanStack DB and PGlite each have their own docs:

Durable Streams

durablestreams.com

TanStack DB

tanstack.com/db

PGlite

pglite.dev
