Stored procedures lack version control, CI/CD integration, and debugging capabilities

7/10 High

Business logic and jobs stored in PostgreSQL stored procedures have no git version control, exist only in production without documentation of authorship, and cannot be tested in CI/CD pipelines. Debugging is difficult without proper stack traces or logging tools, making maintenance a time-consuming nightmare.

Query: “What are the most common pain points with PostgreSQL for developers in 2025?3/29/2026

Debugging becomes a questline from hell no proper stack traces, no modern logging tools, just squinting at SQL like it's an ancient scroll. Version control turns into duct tape your stored procedure updates live in random `.sql` files or, worse, only exist in production and nobody remembers who wrote them. Your CI/CD pipeline? Doesn't even know this logic exists, so testing is… let's say 'optional.' ... 'If you maintain jobs and business logic inside Postgres, you're giving up git for guesswork.'
