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!

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

Yes, but PITR is not surgical, you can’t easily undo just the faulty transactions.
