  • roundhouse

    RoundhousE is a Database Migration Utility for .NET using sql files and versioning based on source control

  • https://github.com/chucknorris/roundhouse is interesting, but rougher around the edges.

  • Horton

    Horton is the simple database migration utility.

  • I also wrote my own tool a decade ago, https://github.com/jdaigle/Horton, but I just use Flyway these days.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • DbUp

    DbUp is a .NET library that helps you to deploy changes to SQL Server databases. It tracks which SQL scripts have been run already, and runs the change scripts that are needed to get your database up to date.

  • I've used a simple migration tool called DbUp https://github.com/DbUp/DbUp

  • Entity Framework

    EF Core is a modern object-database mapper for .NET. It supports LINQ queries, change tracking, updates, and schema migrations.

  • Evolve

    Database migration tool for .NET and .NET Core projects. Inspired by Flyway.

  • Been using https://github.com/lecaillon/Evolve for many years. Its a .Net Core equivalent to Flyway. You run plain old SQL scripts and just follow a file naming convention. It can run embedded inside a project, it has a .Net Tool and a standalone CLI. The SQL scripts can also be embedded in the executable or as external files.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
