Project mention: Declarative Schemas for Simpler Database Management | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-04-03
The article isn't claiming to have invented declarative schema management though. They're just saying it is now available as a feature in Supabase. (Personally I think that's great!)
Regarding prior art: Django migrations are indeed declarative, and were very early in this space. But they're tied to Python model definitions in the ORM, which is a bit more of a special-case than the native SQL CREATE based approach described here.
As for Prisma Migrate, they directly copied several innovations from my tool Skeema [1] which has been available since 2016, so they can be equally accused of "reinventing" things :)
Not that I invented pure-SQL declarative schema management either, by any stretch. I was largely inspired by the workflow at Facebook, who adopted declarative table management company-wide back in ~2012 or so.
