Interesting piece. I was reading up on supabase choice of techstack and they mention using the replication stream over NOTIFY

github.com/supabase/realtime#cool-...

kind of how the meteorJS people did realtime on mongo way back, using the changelog stream, before you could even tail capped collections (which is how i used to do it but it only works for collections where you can throw away the data. which many people would say is the best way to use mongo anyway lol)

you're in china? so i guess you can't use firebase. supabase probably has a window before the GFW drawbridge smashes down, but it will be slow anyway. When I was there I tried something using pusher and, tho not banned it super sucked.
