dbdev: PostgreSQL Package Manager

What's this blog post about?

Today, database.dev is publicly previewing a PostgreSQL package manager called dbdev. Currently, the package registry is read-only with preloaded packages showcasing its potential. The tool aims to create an open ecosystem for packaging and discovering SQL, similar to npm for JavaScript, pip for Python, and cargo for Rust. It enables publishing libraries and applications for repeatable deployment on PostgreSQL instances. The initial preview is compatible with new projects on the Supabase platform and can be installed on any PostgreSQL instance that supports pg_tle and pgsql-http. The in-database client is the easiest way to get started, and users can explore all available packages on database.dev.
