How can one test out the Pulse service in light of the superuser limitation?
Hi, I am interested in testing out the Prisma Pulse service. However, according this doc - https://www.prisma.io/docs/pulse/known-limitations - you have to have a superuser role in order to use this service. I have a superuser role for my local databases but I use services like Render and Supabase for my deployed instances. None of those services (for good reason) allow for superuser access. How are we supposed to test out Pulse if we do not have superuser access? Does this mean that the only way I can test out pulse is to deploy my own self-managed instance/cluster? Basically, any tips or insights on how I can test out Pulse would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hey @AndersR
Superuser access is needed for creating a publication slot. If your database provider doesn't allow superuser access, then you can create a publication slot and provide it manually while configuring Pulse. This should allow you to try out Pulse without needing superuser access.
