Earlier quoted context omitted.

- jsonb : kinda, we do static json replacement, with more complex rules on the horizon, where you could replace some regex-like path with a random func. - uuids: no, but I should. adding to my list :) - ip addresses: yes ip4 and ip6, but I want to go further and let you configure the replacement ips to be within specified cidr blocks - arrays: again, not yet. Do you mind if I ask the use case? Arrays are commonly don…

Beauty. For arrays was thinking of semi-structured stuff in audit logs or embedded tags, but yeah, can probably reshape upstream. Awesome to see the path to custom filters is already so streamlined.

re: streamlining the custom filters

we were considering allowing the user to inject stored procedures themselves, and then use those, but currently, we're opting to implemented them ourselves, so we have better control over the user experience. In the future, for very custom stored procedures, I think we may allow the custom path.

This is very cool to see. I love that it is built on Postgres. Have you tried it paired with something like Postgres.AI's DBLab engine? It seems like that could be really powerful and I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work off the bat.

We've not tried it with dblab engine. that would be an excellent combo (from my quick reading up on it). I'll add to my todo list to experiment with the pairing. It does look like some overlap in functionality, but mostly they are symbiotic.
