I have been using https://github.com/sqitchers/sqitch for a while on production to handle migrations with Postgres it works perfectly.

For analytics:

pg_lakehouse (by ParadeDB): https://github.com/paradedb/paradedb/tree/dev/pg_lakehouse -- Fast analytics from Postgres over local Parquet files, data lakes (S3, GCS, etc.), and lakehouses (Delta Lake, Iceberg)

pg_analytics (by ParadeDB): https://github.com/paradedb/paradedb/tree/dev/pg_analytics -- Columnar storage in Postgres for fast analytics inside Postgres tables

Not sure if it’s any good, but PostgresML claims to do RAG infra (for use with LLMs and chat bots).

Amazing list, very helpful.

Scaling section can be improved further.

Connection Pools and Load balancers: (similar to Supavisor added by you)
PgCat
PgBouncer
PgPool-II

Sharding:
Citus can be under scaling as well due to sharding capability.

I am not sure below Postgres derivatives can be part of the list as they are not open source but they are part of Postgres compatible scaling solutions.
Distributed Postgres flavors:
Yugabyte
Multi-master Postgres derivatives for scaling :
Spock
EDB Postgres-distributed
AWS PGACTIVE

I'd like to know how postgres can join to the blockchain world since this is a less discussed topic.
