Research direction
Start with README.md and review the existing description of dbdev, then compare it with the issue's stated understanding of pgxn. Update the page to explain how the tools differ, which use cases each supports, and the relevant source, compilation, shell-access, and privilege expectations. Done means a PostgreSQL user can understand when to choose either tool.

Description
Improve documentation by explaining the difference with pgxn.

Page which needs improvement: README.md.
Describe the problem
When I hear npm for pg, I immediately think about pgxn. I think It'd be useful to explain how these tools differ, what different use case they help with.
Describe the improvement
From my perspective, pgxn seems oriented towards extensions, while dbdev is more about regular piece of sql? Pgxn ships source code and gives an easy way to compile them. You'd need a shell access to the machine, and probably be superuser. Dbdev seems to be usable by user with less privilege?
