Show HN: Veritect – Stateless, zero-trust schema drift detection in Go

Veritect is a stateless, zero-trust schema drift detection tool written in Go. It helps developers identify and monitor changes in database schemas without maintaining state, aiming to improve security and consistency in schema management.

Background

Veritect is a new open-source tool (Show HN is a section of Hacker News where users share personal projects) that watches for "schema drift"—changes in the structure of a database (adding columns, renaming tables, etc.) that happen outside of proper migration tooling. It uses a stateless (no persistent database of its own) and zero-trust (never assumes the current state is correct) approach, written in Go. For DevOps teams using PostgreSQL or MySQL, detecting unplanned schema changes early prevents subtle bugs, broken deployments, and data inconsistencies, especially in environments where many people or automated processes touch the database.
