New features

Introducing pg_karnak

Transactional schema migration across tenant databases.?pg_karnak?is a distributed DDL layer that operates across tenants and Postgres instances and is soon to be open-sourced. It includes an extension that intercepts DDLs, a transaction coordinator to apply schemas to every tenant during DDL execution, and a central metadata store. This ensures correct DDL application and enables tenant recovery in case of failure.
