I like the direction you guys seem to be taking here with Supabase.
Regarding the comment about subscription-based DB engine and denormalization, I posted this [1] on the post about Materialize although I don't think anyone read it.
I am right there that there is a new unified data architecture evolving and I think it is difficult but doable. CQRS and event-sourcing are core elements and the decoupling of the database continues. I also believe Flow Based Programming [2] and reactive programming (observables on top of streams of events) are other key concepts.
I've worked on federated database query engines and it turns out that federation has some relationships to this problem. I recently saw this article about Netflix's approach to federated GraphQL (which to me feels like API composition) and found it interesting [3].
I don't know if anything of this helps you but hope it might :)
I don't claim to be an expert here but if you're interested in talking more, my email's in my profile.
