Thanks for sharing, even though I don't use Algolia or Elastic but I love the idea of tracking Postgres Triggers and sending it to the queue and sending wherever you need it. Brilliant !!

Thanks! Syncing PG to another data store like Algolia or Elastic is just a very common use case that I use to pitch the idea. But Change-Data-Capture can be used for much more: emitting events when data changes, transforming data, caching data...

All of those use cases are really painful with raw table-level events.

What do you use for search then? Out of curiosity.
Today I use PG-Sync to index things in MeiliSearch and to populate cache in production.
