Liquibase vs pgweb: What are the differences?

What is Liquibase? Source control for your database. Developers store database changes in text-based files on their local development machines and apply them to their local databases. Changelog files can be be arbitrarily nested for better management.

What is pgweb? Web-based PostgreSQL database browser written in Go. This is a web-based browser for PostgreSQL database server. Its written in Go and works on Mac OSX, Linux and Windows machines. Main idea behind using Go for the backend is to utilize language's ability for cross-compile source code for multiple platforms. This project is an attempt to create a very simple and portable application to work with PostgreSQL databases.

Liquibase and pgweb belong to "Database Tools" category of the tech stack.

Some of the features offered by Liquibase are:

  • Supports code branching and merging
  • Supports multiple developers
  • Supports multiple database types

On the other hand, pgweb provides the following key features:

  • Connect to local or remote server
  • Browse tables and table rows
  • Get table details: structure, size, indices, row count

Liquibase and pgweb are both open source tools. It seems that pgweb with 5.94K GitHub stars and 419 forks on GitHub has more adoption than Liquibase with 1.78K GitHub stars and 1.09K GitHub forks.
