atlas VS dbmate

(I'm one of the authors of this project).

fwiw, I personally am interested in this approach too[0]. I keep running into roadblocks around the ordering of events and some of the hairy issues around "destructive" actions (eg: renaming columns). i think we can get there, especially once we make progress with this LSP.

There are other notable mentions in this space:

Atlas: https://atlasgo.io/

Atlas: https://github.com/ariga/atlas. It can be integrated with any ORM, but also has an official one for GORM: https://atlasgo.io/guides/orms/gorm

Run the queryx db:create command to create a PostgreSQL database, and then run queryx db:migrate to automatically create the database migration files and database structure. Queryx’s database schema management is built upon Atlas.

One of https://atlasgo.io's creators here.

In this case, I'd recommend you to check Atlas: https://github.com/ariga/atlas

My name is Rotem, I'm one of the creators of Atlas (https://atlasgo.io) a modern open-source schema management tool. Recently one of our engineers created a cool Django plugin that creates beautiful (in my eyes at least ;-)) and shareable ERDs from your Django data models.

Yes, there is: Atlas! https://atlasgo.io / https://github.com/ariga/atlas.

Hi there You should take a look at Atlas - https://atlasgo.io which can help your team in many aspects of CI/ CD for databases : * CI - detect (and prevent) risky / incorrect migrations automatically * CD - support for modern deployment infrastructure (terraform, helm, etc)

You might want to check out Atlas. It provides automatic migration planning for GORM, and has various guides on how deploying schema migration on the popular platform and tools, such as Helm, Kubernetes and ECS.

A regular code repo with the scripts (with pull/merge requests for review) and then a CI job that builds containers with something like dbmate https://github.com/amacneil/dbmate that can then be run against any staging/prod environment.

As we want to maintain the track of our changes to the DB, we are going to use migrations. In this case, we are going to use dbmate. But, you can use any other tool you want.

> For example having database migrations built in etc.

I actually went the exact opposite route, at least when possible: https://github.com/amacneil/dbmate

Pure SQL migrations, regardless of the back end technology that you use, completely decoupled from how each framework/library views things and therefore not dependent on them (you could even rewrite the back end in another technology later on, if needed; or swap ORMs; or avoid issues when there's a major ORM version update).

It's really nice when you can generate entity mappings based on a live database, like with https://blog.jetbrains.com/dotnet/2022/01/31/entity-framewor...

So in my case, I can have:

  * a DB that has migrations applied with dbmate, completely decoupled from any back end(s) that might use it

You can run dbmate as part of your CI/CD pipeline. You just keep a dbmate directory in your repo and deploy migrations with your code.

In general with ORMs, you will face a problem in one way or another. I ended up simply using https://github.com/gajus/slonik and https://github.com/amacneil/dbmate for migrations. My life is way much better since then.

I like dbmate, super simple and straightforward to use. For your specific use case, it can also be configured using your .env!

Would always go for a language agnostic migration tool, e.g. https://github.com/amacneil/dbmate to stay flexible and stay away from lock-in effects (besides sql).
