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.

Changing Tires at 100mph: A Guide to Zero Downtime Migrations
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 :)

Pgroll: zero-downtime, undoable, schema migrations for Postgres
Very cool! Congratulations to the authors on the release! I'm the author of a similar (zero-downtime migration) tool for PG called QuantumDB[0]. It was the first (to my knowledge at least) tool to support foreign keys, by creating table copies (keeping those in sync using triggers), and exposing multiple schemas through a custom database driver. I never got to production-ready version unfortunately, but I'm happy this one did. I'm seeing a lot of familiar concepts, and it looks well thought out.
