ElectricSQL's architecture is documented here:

https://electric-sql.com/docs/reference/architecture#primary...

https://electric-sql.com/docs/reference/architecture#data-fl...

The docs explain how the Electric sync service publishes a logical replication stream that the Postgres database subscribes to. The Electric sync service is responsible for validating permissions based on the DDLX configuration.

Yup, this is correct.

We have had some requests / discussions around adding hooks to the sync service that will support custom logic on the write path (as per https://github.com/electric-sql/electric/discussions/565). This seems like a good idea but they don't exist yet.
