Top 20 PostgreSQL tools: CLIs, backups, high availability, monitoring and utilities
What people run next to Postgres, from psql replacements to backups and APIs
Mis à jour · GitHub stars (stars)
Pourquoi ces 20
Ranked by GitHub stars: how many developers bookmarked the project. Stars measure attention, not quality, so each row also shows forks, licence, the last push and the section of the community list it sits in. Closed-source tools in the same list (pganalyze, Datadog, pgMustard, EverSQL and others) have no public star count, so they can't be ranked here.
