Very excited about Mastra! We have a number of Agent-ic things we'll be building at ElectricSQL and Mastra looks like a breath of fresh air.
Also the team is top-notch — Sam was my co-founder at Gatsby and I worked closely with Shane and Abhi and I have a ton of confidence in their product & engineering abilities.
There's a variety of valid patterns for writes & we don't want to be prescriptive about how you do them. We aim instead to help you easily use Electric with your preferred/required write pattern.
It's possible we'll write our own write library but it's equally likely we'll continue to find it better to partner with other projects building excellent libraries (like we are with https://livestore.dev/).
Right exactly — a sync engine like Electric maintains replicas of data wherever you like. So natural places are web apps, mobile apps, backend services, etc. Here's an example showing how to sync a table from PG to Redis https://github.com/electric-sql/electric/blob/main/examples/...
It's dramatically faster to read from a local copy of data vs. sending the query to Postgres and can eliminate a lot of network and db load as well.
We have a job framework that can distribute image processing jobs on supported platforms* as well as automatically caching subsequent jobs. So it scales easily and as most builds don't have that many image changes (if any), the impact on warm builds is negligible.
To reliably provide near real-time deployments, we need tight integration with the CI/CD environment to optimize and parallelize the work; that's why you’ll see the fastest builds and deploys through Gatsby Cloud — the platform is purpose built for Gatsby!
Really appreciate the feedback and support for our launch today! The team worked super hard to get Incremental Builds live in public beta but are taking all the feedback (here and all over the web) as we go into full launch. Let us know what you think. Thanks!
Wow MintData looks so cool! I was just trying to figure out whether Webflow can be used to build simple apps, then I saw this, a whole new level. Is there a way to try it?
Thanks for the great piece of software! I really like how the Gatsby community is dabbling in templates for more than just blogs. I've seen documentation sites, landing pages, and notes.
Here are some thoughts on my experience with Gatsby:
- You've done a lot of work to make configuring Gatsby easier, but I still seem to constantly hit roadblocks trying to get the config I want. For example I was running into problems getting MermaidJS, embedded video (that I was hosting on my own machine, not on YouTube), and mdx files all working together.
- I've been thinking that Gatsby is the perfect framework for creating semantic web content. E.g., you could have calendar events sprinkled through a website and create a GraphQL API for listing those calendar events, and that API would be accessible during the build process.
