Cron + Send-to-Self
Two ways agents schedule future work without keeping a process alive:
- Cron wakes an agent on a recurring schedule.
- Send-to-self sleeps now, continues later.

Signals
Send SIGINT to a running agent. Pause it. Resume it. Kill it.
Agents aren't opaque processes. They have a control plane.

Your agent sleeps at zero compute. A row changes in Postgres. The agent wakes.
No polling. No long-running process. Just a sync trigger.

Fork an agent from any point in its history.
Same context, different path. The original stays intact. The fork gets its own stream.

Spawn a child agent in 5 lines. It gets its own durable stream, its own URL, and wakes the parent when it finishes.
No shared memory. No process coupling. Just streams.

Electric Agents 0.6 is out!
0.6 rounds out what we launched in May:
• Long-lived entities with StreamDB state
• Spawn, fork, send, wake, signal, schedule
• Local and remote agent runners
• Desktop + mobile apps built on core APIs
• PG sync triggers, MCP servers, webhook sources
The ecosystem is converging on our thesis: the agent is the log. Electric Agents paints the picture for what is built on top.

Introducing Electric Agents!
Agents are not compute. Agents are data. Multi-agent is a sync problem. Electric Agents is the first agent platform built on sync.
Use it to build scalable, collaborative, long-lived multi-agent systems: 🧵👇

Can Doom run on @DurableStreams? Absolutely!
The result: live streaming, rewinding, and forking — branch from any point and you're instantly back in the game!

Agent sessions shouldn’t be linear.
To rewind, explore alternatives, and fan out in parallel, they need a data primitive with branching.
Fork is now live for Durable Streams: branch any stream at any point with a single API call.

.@DurableStreams are persistent, addressable, real-time streams. Reactive, resumable and extensible, they are the data primitive for the agent loop.

It's all about the loop.
Agents accumulate state with every step of the loop. This state needs a new data primitive.
That's @DurableStreams 🧵👇

We built a collaborative editor with an AI agent as a real-time CRDT peer.
It has its own cursor, streams edits into a Yjs rich text document, and resolves conflicts alongside human users automatically.
Built with @DurableStreams, Yjs, and @tan_stack AI.

Yjs is the #1 library for collaborative editing on the web. Today we're announcing built-in Yjs support for @DurableStreams. Use it to add multi-user and multi-agent collaboration to your AI apps and agentic systems.

Reads are free. Unlimited. Forever.
Electric Cloud pricing is live — pay only for writes & retention.
Two primitives: Durable Streams (AI, multi-agent, real-time) and Postgres Sync (the magic behind fast apps).

StreamDB - a reactive database in a Durable Stream. Designed for AI apps and agentic session state.
You give it a Standard Schema. You get type-safe, multiplexed data sync into @tan_stack DB.

🧵 More play less infra => vibe coding with the database inside the sandbox.
Apps built with AI app builders like @boltdotnew, @lovable and @Replit usually need to connect to a database to actually work. With pglite.dev you can have the database inside the web sandbox, so you can vibe code without even thinking about infra.

🥳 New Electric release!
0.4 aka "The One Where Electric Gets Really Fast".
The initial sync is now 3x faster and uses half as much memory!
How? We wrote a custom storage engine tuned to our specific requirements

Here's @thruflo's talk from @localfirstconf on PGlite and how advances in the browser are enabling the shift to local-first software: piped.video/ZlHWSpIYixk
The second batch of videos from Local-first Conf are live on piped.video/@localfirstconf
That's the full set up now, including great new talks by @nikgraf @JackMcCloy, @drewmccormack, @aboodman, @pronkin_, @thruflo, @expede, @ewind1994, @pesterhazy and @Mappletons

We're excited to have @DrizzleORM as the first ORM to support PGlite 🎉🚀
• Run full Postgres embedded in your app with PGlite.
• At only 2.6mb, it's perfect for local-first apps!

Hey @jarredsumner & @nikitabase, got it working!
PGlite, WASM Postgres running in the browser, Bun and Node. Only 3.7mb gzipped. 🤯
In-memory or persisted to the filesystem with Bun/Node and IndexedDB in the browser. 🚀

i wonder when "PostgresLite" will become a thing
SQLite's single-file embedded no-server model makes getting started easy, but backends often need a database like Postgres
I wonder why you can't have both

Just working here on adding Yjs to Postgres 😇. So you can have local-first, collaborative editing with @tiptap_editor without needing some kind of external realtime store.

Is it possible to build a realtime dashboard querying live metrics from Postgres in just 20 lines of code?
Yes, with Electric it is.
See the code in the thread.

Imagine if you could build a local-first app, synced to a cloud Postgres where the local embedded database was not SQLite but actually also Postgres. And not an ephemeral VM Postgres. But a proper native Postgres with persistence running in Rust in the backend of a @TauriApps app
