n8n needs one thing to 10× developer speed: declarative database schemas.
Supabase does something brilliant:
You drop a schema.sql (or multiple files) into a folder →
Supabase CLI compares it →
Automatically generates the diff →
Boom: your entire database structure is created or migrated.
Imagine the same for n8n Data Stores.
Right now, if you want to automate workflows that depend on structured data, you have to:
-
Manually create tables
-
Manually add fields
-
Manually patch updates
-
And pray you don’t forget a column somewhere
It’s slow, error-prone, and scales poorly across environments.
