Electric is a Postgres sync engine that streams subsets of Postgres tables over HTTP to client applications. The sync service is an Elixir web service packaged as a Docker image. The installation guide shows it running beside a new Postgres in Docker Compose or in front of an existing database, and the Postgres it reads must be version 14 or later.
Worth knowing
The same sync engine is offered as Electric Cloud, a managed hosting service, according to the deployment guide.
