Missing enums & RLS in schema docs — auto-export enums and policies

Many schema documentation systems omit enums and Row-Level Security (RLS) policies, leaving developers, platform engineers, DBAs and compliance teams blind to critical constraints and access rules; this causes audit friction, security drift, and extra manual work reconciling live database state with code and PRs. The problem is widespread across organizations that use Postgres, cloud warehouses, or policy-driven platforms and affects anyone responsible for releases, data governance, or least-privilege enforcement. You could build an automated tool that connects to databases and schema repos to extract enums, RLS rules and related policy metadata, then auto-generate machine- and human-readable docs, infra-as-code artifacts, CI-friendly PRs with diffs, and verification tests. LLM-assisted parsing would normalize vendor-specific representations, produce policy-as-code exports (YAML/SQL), surface precise policy diffs, and emit signed artifacts and tests for an auditable trail. Deep integrations with GitOps workflows, CI, metadata stores and popular stacks (Postgres, BigQuery, Supabase, Hasura, Prisma) would make generated docs the canonical source in PRs and pipelines. The timing is favorable: the developer tools market is roughly $18.2B (about 24M professional developers spending ~$758 each annually) and current trends—AI-assisted tooling, infra-as-code/GitOps adoption, and rising regulatory focus on data governance—create real demand for reliable automation of previously manual schema and policy work. To stand out you must prioritize accuracy and auditability—comprehensive DB dialect coverage, reproducible signed exports, testable policy diffs, and transparent verification—and pursue an open-core route plus enterprise integrations to drive adoption; challenges include earning security teams’ trust, handling dialect edge cases, and competing in a medium-competition landscape despite a solid revenue potential (78/100).
