  Founder of skeema.io here. GP is a fan and does not have a stake in the company. Skeema is used by several hundred companies, including GitHub, Twilio, and Etsy. We have a lot of fans in the MySQL community, and just because someone enjoys the product does not mean they’re a shill.

    Thanks for the clarification, and I wasn’t suggesting he was a shill - it just sounded like it and typically such claims and prefixed with a disclaimer on HN

  Nope, it just made my life better and I want others who feel the pain in TFA to know there are options.

    Thank you for spreading the word, I greatly appreciate it. Building a bootstrapped product/business in the MySQL space has been quite challenging. Most newer entrants in the schema management space are VC-funded, and went wide instead of deep in terms of the range of supported DBs. I personally believe in deep expert-level coverage of a specific DB, resulting in better functionality and a safer schema management toolchain. However it does make word-of-mouth more challenging, since MySQL is unpopular here. So often these blog posts don’t mention Skeema, since blog authors coming from other DBs haven’t ever encountered it.
