Wow, the drop table silently removes entry from publication without any logs.
I could not find any monitoring view to help me figure out if the publication is broken due to ddl change.
pg_stat_replication on publisher, and pg_stat_subscription on subscriber only help with lsn based lag.
unless this is not an issue but a feature ?
i'll check more on the better part of monitoring logical replication stuff.
but for your case,
you can set up an event trigger that would avoid dropping the table.
basically any drop of a table or any ddl that would break publication.
you can have a custom query filter that would prevent dropping of objects part of publication accidentally.
and then you want to exclusively drop the table, once not part of publication, you have to first remove the table from publication and then drop.
I have not run this in production, so I believe others may chime in, but logical replication issues from logs are not the best.
I am happy to be corrected.
I'll update on more scenarios.
