Migration risk is visible in fragments before deployment and expensive after it.
Early warnings protect production releases while uncertain heuristics must avoid becoming false authority.
Who you’d be doing this for
“The migration looked harmless locally, then the API slowed down and everyone asked what changed.”

What is at stake
Support cases repeatedly trace failed releases to connection limits, missing indexes, and slow RLS policies found after deployment. You must weigh useful early warnings against heuristic findings developers could mistake for certainty.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- early warnings vs false authority
- CLI speed vs deeper analysis
- broad coverage vs credible first rules
- local workflow vs production learning
