Pgroll: zero-downtime, undoable, schema migrations for Postgres
Cool stuff! Do you have any thoughts about how this compares to https://github.com/fabianlindfors/reshape?

Postgres schema changes are still a PITA
From what I know, there is only one project that tries something close to this: the relatively recent Reshape. It uses Postgres views to expose the two versions of the schema and triggers to upgrade/downgrade the new data. It doesn’t do the constraints part as described above, but shows that this approach is possible. Combined with the Xata pull request based workflow, I think the ideal system described above is possible!
-
Conceptually how do you handle deploys of SQL related things (table definition, scripts, stored procs etc) in a CI/CD way?
My idea is not unique. Reshape is similar, but bigger in scope.
-
The operational relational schema paradigm
This is precisely what I did for my automated zero-downtime migration tool and it works pretty well: https://github.com/fabianlindfors/reshape. At least for Postgres, simple views like these have almost no overhead as queries are simply rewritten for the underlying table.

Anybody interested in this subject might also be interested in a tool for Postgres I’ve been working on, Reshape: https://github.com/fabianlindfors/reshape. It aims to fully automate away all the pain and manual steps zero-downtime migrations normally requires :)

Pg_branch: Pre-alpha Postgres extension brings Neon-like branching
Underlying DBLab Engine is FOSS (Apache 2.0), with API, CLI and UI https://github.com/postgres-ai/database-lab-engine
-
Want to avoid MySQL but find PlanetScale really appealing
That said, there are a few folks out there attempting it. As mentioned, Neon attempts branching but has no "merge". Postgres.ai has "thin clones" for similar migration testing but again, no "merge".

Neon – Serverless Postgres
Agreed, this direction is underestimated and should be developed better -- we (Postgres.ai) do it for any Postgres with our Database Lab Engine [1], and Neon would bring even more power if it's installed on production
