  1. Sequelize

    Feature-rich ORM for modern Node.js and TypeScript, it supports PostgreSQL (with JSON and JSONB support), MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, MS SQL Server, Snowflake, Oracle DB (v6), DB2 and DB2 for IBM i.

    Our main apps are written in Node.js and there we use TypeORM for some of the lighter CRUD. I've looked into TypeORM migrations but get the impression that the CLI tool is not up to date. I've also looked a bit at Sequelize (but that would require us to switch from TypeORM).

  2. InfluxDB

    InfluxDB high-performance time series database. Collect, organize, and act on massive volumes of high-resolution data to power real-time intelligent systems.

  3. liquibase

    Main Liquibase Source

    Liquibase seems competent but maybe to much and Java heavy?

  4. Flyway

    Flyway by Redgate • Database Migrations Made Easy.

    Flyway seems similar

  5. migrate

    Database migrations. CLI and Golang library.

    golang/migrate seems nice, decently light weight and with a decent size community?
