wal2json extension is missing from my Supabase Cloud database, making Realtime non-functional

Priority: CRITICAL - Core functionality broken

Issue: wal2json extension is missing from my Supabase Cloud database,
making Realtime non-functional.

Project Details:
  • Version: PostgreSQL 15.8 on aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (GCC) 13.2.0, 64-bit
Evidence:
  1. Query: SELECT * FROM pg_available_extensions WHERE name = 'wal2json';Result: No rows returned
  2. Query: SELECT * FROM pg_extension WHERE extname = 'wal2json';Result: No rows returned
  3. Query: CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS wal2json;Error: extension "wal2json" is not available
Impact:
  • Realtime subscriptions fail
  • Live notifications broken
  • Core app functionality affected
Expected: wal2json should be pre-installed on all Supabase Cloud instances
Actual: Extension is completely missing

This appears to be an infrastructure issue that is required for realtime to work.

Any help will be appreciated.
