Over the years I've gotten extremely conservative with adopting any new tooling into my workflow, for exactly reasons like this.

Not tried it yet but DeltaDB from ZED (and ZED editor more generally) could cover it for you and they are open source.

Western AI giants have hundreds of billions of dollars to make back in a world where China is releasing open source tooling and open weights models. How else does they make their money back other than finding _something_ proprietary to sell.
