So something where you point at a database proxy and it would distribute

I just finished a schema version change using Sqitch(http://sqitch.org/)
  It is not Postgres specific, but that is what I am deploying against.
My needs are simple and I am not deploying against two hundred servers.

Other schema version systems I know of are Alembic(Python) Rails(ruby).

Chef https://www.chef.io/chef/

Puppet https://puppetlabs.com/

Salt http://saltstack.com/

There are probably others, these are just the ones I know about. They
are general purpose tools but have Postgres specific features. As an
examples:
