How many concurrent connections can I have?
There's no fee or hard cap; capacity depends on your instance's RAM. In our tests a Business instance held 15,000 concurrent connections using a third of its memory. As a guide: Builder 5K, Pro 15K, Business 30K.
Does Realtime respect Row Level Security?
Yes. Postgres Changes only delivers rows the connected user is allowed to read.
