cloudnative-pg
CloudNativePG is a comprehensive platform designed to seamlessly manage PostgreSQL databases within Kubernetes environments, covering the entire operational lifecycle from initial deployment to ongoing maintenance
Thank you for your feedback. I'm trying to extract possible improvement actions from your comment, and here are my thoughts.
That certificate expiry issue was unfortunate, but was resolved (if I'm not mistaken) a couple of years ago.
StackGres is just a control plane, your database is as stable as a standalone one. StackGres itself may fail and it won't affect your database, it's not on the data plane. Indeed, it has a feature to "pause it" if you need to perform some manual operations (otherwise everything is automated).
There are procedures to reconstruct a database from PVC. It's arguably tedious, but should be much simpler than running a Postgres pod without the help of an operator like StackGres.
As for the ratio of issues: most of the issues that we get are feature and/or extensions requests, and certainly we can't tackle them all. Most, if not all, outstanding issues are addressed within a reasonable time frame. Is there any particular issue that would itch you that is open? I'd be happy to personally review it. Yet, there are as of today more than 2K closed issues, I won't call that a small number.
I'd also weight the importance of issues, like the split brain that CNPG suffers [1] and that apparently won't even be solved. StackGres relies instead on the trusted and reputed Patroni, which is known NOT to risk split brains that could lead to severe data loss.

And if you want to read about open source vs source available, this GitHub with the Red Hat lawyer and co-author of GPLv2 provides a TLDR of the sentiment. The reference from Chad gives a deep dive into the discussion and origin of FSL’s language.

Mathesar
Mathesar is an 100% open source collaborative web application that empowers users of all technical skill levels to view, edit, query, and collaborate on PostgreSQL data in an intuitive spreadsheet-like interface. It has native database-level access control, is self hosted and deployed in minutes, and works directly with Postgres objects without extra abstractions.
At this point, it'd be easier to give your users access to DBeaver or Bigquery directly. Also limiting their access to certain views with prepared data to avoid expensive queries.
For a UI based SQL tool I've used Looker few years ago and thought it was ok. I wonder how much AI tooling Google added since then to help with LookML generation. There are also other open source tools like mathesar (https://github.com/mathesar-foundation/mathesar) which look promising.

Supabase CLI. Manage postgres migrations, run Supabase locally, deploy edge functions. Postgres backups. Generating types from your database schema. (by supabase)
I ended up finding an issue "supabase_vector_project container is not ready: unhealthy" in which noga-dev notes that enabling "Expose daemon on tcp://localhost:2375 without TLS" in Docker Desktop resolves the issue.

schemahero
A Kubernetes operator for declarative database schema management (gitops for database schemas)

My only blocker for using both Kottster and PocketBase more widely is a lack of ability to customize the editor for specific columns in the database. In my case I have a json column that needs to match a specific schema. For both Kottster and PocketBase these columns are edited as text and don't provide a way for me to drop in my own editor. I did create a feature request for this for the Kottster team though!
