Logical Replication for our organization
Hey,
I know logical replication is on hold right now, but I need to ask about it. We're trying to move our database to Neon and need logical replication for some services.
Is there a way to turn it on for our test database? We're tight on time to switch databases and need to show this can work to get an approval.
Hope to hear back soon!

@Kaan I’m asking internally.
BTW can you share how large you expect the test DB to be, and read/write volume?

We are going for the free tier, so the limits of that currently as a test. And the read/write volume will start with only internal use which is not much, besides us just running tests
So not too much to start with
After approval it will be quite high though, some tables are a few gb's
But we dont replicate all of those

Ah, to be transparent, free-tier usage might not get this the attention you need. I've raised it internally though and will let you know if I hear back.

I would totally get it, if we can get everything working without the replication thing, it could be likely that we would just get one of the two subscriptions. The biggest problem we have is that we are unsure when we would get access to this feature and we need it to switch fully. That’s the real problem
If it is possible to get the replication on our account when we start paying, then it is easier for me to tell the technical director that, instead of trying to sell him something like: yeah, might be 4 days, might be 4 months

@ShinyPokemon , I also need Logical Replication. It's required for local-first by the service https://docs.powersync.com/usage/installation/database-setup/neon#connect-powersync-to-neon.
I'm also using free plan. Is it possible to enable the feature?

Do we need to pay for this feature?

@Guillem currently LR is not generally available, sorry. We hope to make it available soon though. I see some activity in Neon's GitHub resolving issues we had during the early beta access, so this is good!

Keep us updated, please.
For now, I can't proceed with Neon for my app (I expect to be on production next month).

I've been letting the product team know about requests like yours to make sure it stays prioritised. Sorry that it's not ready just yet 😦
I will make some noise in here when it lands
