PG Circuit puts a circuit breaker inside PostgreSQL

pgcircuit.com Observed source
Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An open-source PostgreSQL extension that scores risky SQL against live database pressure and can allow, warn on, or block the operation.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-12 issue.

Field notes

The visible quickstart uses Docker Compose or PGXS, preloads the library, creates the extension, and deliberately tests a DELETE without a WHERE clause before leaving production in warn mode. The homepage also shows a sample decision that combines an 89/100 risk score with estimated rows, 18.2 seconds of replication lag, and two long transactions. Community is listed under Apache 2.0, while richer policies and fleet controls are attributed to paid tiers.
