GIN index builds are timing out while the maintenance release window is still open.
Fast relief for blocked migrations pulls against preserving the storage path that matches PostgreSQL behavior.
Who you’d be doing this for
“Our release has been waiting on one index build since breakfast, and support keeps asking for an ETA.”

Maintains search tables and migrations for a production application using PostgreSQL.
What is at stake
Seventeen GIN index builds have crossed the 30-minute migration timeout. You must weigh a targeted OrioleDB correction against a temporary PostgreSQL-compatible route.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- migration speed vs index compatibility
- maintenance timing vs recovery proof
- narrow bypass vs durable storage fix
Why Supabase
OrioleDB must behave predictably inside managed PostgreSQL projects when developers change search schemas.
