Hello Directus-Discord! I'm wondering what is the best way to share a dev-database between the team? We're using postgres. Thanks!

Host it online and make sure everyone has access credentials
That’s really the only sound way imo

Edit: And for taking the dev db on production i just export everything and migrate the schema? Or can I just take a db dump live?

The "best" way to manage schema changes are through usual database migrations and Directus has a way to run those for you. IMHO there's still room for improvement here because it also means not being able to use Directus itself to manage the schema changes.
Then you can apply a Directus schema snapshot to get the UI settings up on the new environment
Id love to know if there's a better way to manage this btw. I have a heavily opinionated way on how this is supposed to work without compromising DX, but I'm not sure if Directus already have everything needed to implement it.
