From https://supabase.com/blog/dbdev

> dbdev fills the same role for PostgreSQL as npm for JavaScript, pip for Python and cargo for Rust in that it enables publishing libraries and applications for repeatable deployment. We'll be releasing the tooling necessary for third-parties to publish pglets to the registry once we’ve collected some community feedback and incorporate any great new ideas. Our goal is to create an open ecosystem for packaging and discovering SQL.

How does https://pgxn.org/ fit in this ecosystem?

pgxn does not (yet) support the notion of TLEs, but it certainly could with minimal changes. We're currently in discussion with the pgxn maintainers about how that would look.

TLEs = trusted language extensions?
