pgman Coming soon

A k9s-style Postgres TUI for Java and AWS shops.

The same fast, keyboard-driven feel as ebman — pointed at your database instead of your deploys. If you’ve used k9s, the muscle memory carries: : for commands, / to filter, Enter to drill in.

It has not had a release yet. The source is public on GitHub, and you can build it from there:

$ cargo install --git https://github.com/tombaldwin/pgman --locked

What pgman does

Most Postgres tooling assumes you already know which database you’re talking to and what it’s doing. In a Spring/AWS shop you often don’t — the connection details live in config, and the queries that matter are buried in framework logs. pgman closes that gap.

  • Auto-discovers datasources from your Spring config — no copy-pasting connection strings.
  • Turns logs back into SQL. Hibernate and RDS logs (and pasted JDBC) become runnable queries — with N+1 detection.
  • Safe-by-default DBA panels: schema browser, EXPLAIN, slow queries, locks and more — read-only until you opt in.

In active development by the Polymorphism team, alongside ebman. Want to be first to know when it ships? Drop us a line.
