Data Flow
- Agent action → Local AgentDB (0.1ms - fast!)
- Sync → Supabase PostgreSQL (25ms)
- CDC → Real-time broadcast to all agents
- Event → Other agents receive and process
- Update → Agents update local cache

import { createRealtimeHub } from 'agentic-flow/federation/integrations/realtime-federation';
// Create agent
const agent = createRealtimeHub('my-agent', 'my-team');
await agent.initialize();
// Listen for messages
agent.on('message:received', (msg) => {
console.log('Received:', msg.payload);
});
// Broadcast to team
await agent.broadcast('status_update', {
status: 'Working on task',
progress: 0.75
});
// Get active team members
const team = agent.getActiveAgents();
console.log(`Team size: ${team.length} agents online`);
