Thanks for clarification, that makes sense.

Just to give you a bit more context, I've been evaluating CDC (change data capture) tooling and Prisma Pulse was one of the options. My primary data storage is Postgres but I have a need to react when data in some tables is changed (depending on some user-provided filters). I'm currently handling that with naive message push to SQS, because Debezium/Kafka setup is too expensive/complex. Prisma Pulse looks great, but that CDC part of my app is crucial and I need an option to be able to host it myself/on premises for some customers.

However I totally understand the need to build a moat — good luck on your journey!

Totally get that. Many of our users like Pulse because of that.

Completely understand the need and thanks for the wishes!
