This is very nice! I came across this through an internal ref. It appears that there is a lot of movement in the CDC space lately - pgstream, sequinstream, bemi, pg_flo (Saw some guy on X posting videos of CDC tools too)

Are there real world use cases being solved with this, or is it just hobby tool?

We maintain a two projects for a customer where data for the applications is held in secondary databases, can't count how many sync issues we've had with these projects. Right now there's is a continuous sync that processes tons of redundant data (with a certain latency due to the amount of data).

CDC would enable the processes to focus what's changed instead of continually processing the entire database.

I feel that DB support isn't necessarily the biggest issue for adopting these things, rather it's that it's somewhat more complicated to debug event driven systems for "regular" developers rather than request-response or loop based code.

In that sense delivering the events via webhooks is a good idea since it allows them to work with their regular request-response debugging tools.
