Explore Dolt
https://github.com/dolthub/dolt is a SQL database that you can fork, clone, branch, merge, push and pull just like a Git repository.
MySQL->Dolt replication, push/pull mechanics, and the conflict resolution approach could give us a lot for free. PostgreSQL support is on their roadmap, too, and perhaps that’s how WP could get Postgres support. A few things that worry me are the ~103mb binary size, no plans to support WebAssembly (in 2019 at least), and no timeline for Dolt->MySQL replication.

That looks pretty cool. I haven't had a chance to play with it yet, but it got me thinking: Dolt may turn out to be directly useful for Playground and WP, but if it doesn't, there may still be a lot we can learn from how it approaches merge, push, and pull.
I'm also curious what contributes to its 103mb binary size. Maybe the essential parts wouldn't take much space.

Hmm, it's written in Go which defaults to static linking.

+1 we will probably need to build something in the end. Dolt seems to have a lot more features than we actually need.
