Show HN: EterDB, a Postgres fork that makes it easy to recover from incidents

27 points - last Thursday at 3:41 PM


Hey everyone, a few months ago, after recovering from a Clade-generated bug, I was thinking to myself “wouldn’t it be nice if prod DB writes were easy to roll back”. I’ve put something together: it’s a two-container deploy plus a CLI tool. It’s far from being production ready, so please be gentle. All feedback welcome!

The idea looks interesting. But when I think of "make incident recovery easy", the very last thing I want is a fork that differs from the standard that everyone else is running. I would have a better feeling if that would be an extension, not a fork.

Uh, pitr is a thing in many many postgresql management layers.
