> It seems like Supabase has been able to collaborate really effectively with other teams in the Postgres space (including pgAdmin and pgmigra, for the `diff` migrations tooling)

I'm thankful to Supabase for their efforts, but I'm not sure I'd pick pgAdmin and migra as examples of "really effective" collaboration with other teams: as far as I know, pgAdmin's CLI feature wasn't merged upstream and sits in an outdated Supabase fork of pgAdmin which doesn't fully support Postgres 15, and migra (which has been abandoned for a while) was just used as-is.

fwiw, pgadmin was not for a lack of trying: https://redmine.postgresql.org/issues/6304. I won't have many details about migra form the CLI team until they come online, but no doubt we'll pick up the migra support if it has been abandoned.

(but I agree with the sentiment: we can always find ways to be more collaborative)

Thank you for sharing that! It's unfortunate that the pgAdmin devs weren't interested, although I understand them wanting to keep it focused on being a GUI.
I agree. We've been on the other side of pull requests like this and I know how hard it can be to say "no, we need to stay focused". I appreciate their clear comms
