SEAPUG and PuPPy - Ivan Schneider - Schema Evolution Automation (SEA)

Seattle Postgres User Group and Puget Sound Programming Python - April 2, 2026 - Ivan Schneider: Schema Evolution Automation (SEA) https://www.meetup.com/seattle-postgr... SEA is an ongoing project designed to take the gruntwork out of database development. Change a database field in a real Python app and you're updating six things: the model, the migration, the API, the CLI, the tests, the front-end. SEA is a CLI that automates that propagation — you describe the change in plain English, it classifies the intent, flags what's dangerous, and generates the code. The immediate goal for the project is to make schema changes fast enough that they don't interrupt your flow. The reach goal is a SEA change: extend that to downstream consumers so the entire propagation chain, from database to front-end to API contracts, is something SEA coordinates rather than something you track manually. ===== Speaker: Ivan Schneider is the creator of Factum Erit, a conversational task management platform that connects AI (Claude) to a structured database via MCP — so tasks captured in natural language land in real state, not just a chat window. He started his career as a programmer/analyst (Carnegie Mellon, BS Information and Decision Systems), spent 20 years covering financial technology as an editor and analyst, and returned to building software in 2024 with AI-augmented development.
