Is it sensible to run EF migrations at startup?

I think it would be fine for a small app. For larger apps: we currently use DbUp to run SQL scripts on deploy (in a seperate job, before the web app deploys) + https://github.com/JonPSmith/EfCore.TestSupport to run a unit test to ensure the EF Core schema matches the database to prevent errors at runtime.
