Social recommendations and mentions

We have tracked the following product recommendations or mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you see what people think about Flyway and what they use it for.
  • Ask HN: What tool(s) do you use to code review and deploy SQL scripts?
    Also RedGate, but Flyway has some reasons to recommend it over RedGate Deploy depending on your DBAs/workflows: https://flywaydb.org/ (Though I don't think it is "complete" or "perfect", either.) EF Migrations are in a really good place now if you like/don't mind C# as a language (and you can easily embed SQL inside the C#, too, but there are benefits to being able to also run high level C# code). With today's... - Source: Hacker News / 5 days ago
  • Using Flyway to version your database
    When software starts using a database, it's advisable to have version control, just as we have Github to control our source code. This is all to be sure about what was executed for that specific version. For Java and Spring boot, we have the Flyway framework that aims to resolve this situation, free of charge. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago
  • CI/CD for Databricks
    If you're looking for tools, like https://www.liquibase.com/ or https://flywaydb.org/, which are database-state-based schema migration toolkits - it might be relatively straightforward to build similar ones using Databricks SQL drivers. Source: 10 months ago
  • Strategy to run database scripts on Kubernetes
    This is a 4th option, which should play nice with ArgoCD. The following example runs flyway as a k8s job. The desired migration changes are recorded as files within the chart. This helm chart can be integrated with your application (Using hooks to determine when the migration job is run) or run manually. Source: 11 months ago
  • How do your teams run DB migrations?
    By using an opinionated framework within the app/service (like Flyway, Migrate, Diesel, etc). Schema migrations happen on app/service start-up. Source: 11 months ago
  • I've never created a production database from scratch and am wondering how much trouble it would be to transition a one-to-one relationship to a one-to-many relationship if I determine at some point that the latter is required.
    Depending on the language or platform there are libraries you can use to manage this, such as Prisma on node and Flyway for Java/JVM. Source: 11 months ago
  • How should I document and/or automate schema changes?
    It's probably overkill but I've used github plus flyway at a couple places in the past which is pretty nice tool for tracking changes to a variety of db's, it's also very helpful if you ever need to replicate a db in a new region/environment. Source: 11 months ago
  • Using Flyway for Database Setup
    The grown-up way of creating a database schema is migrations, and no-one ever got fired for choosing Flyway (https://flywaydb.org/), so that's what we'll investigate today. By the end we are able to create the same schema as Exposed was creating, and then, as a second migration, add some constraints to the items table to reflect the reality of our data. And the transition from Exposed to jOOQ is complete! Source: 12 months ago
  • How to run DB migrations in CICD Pipeline
    We use https://flywaydb.org/. You can do the migration before or during service start-up. We do it during. Source: 12 months ago
  • 🏅 Http4k: Top 5 Server-Side Frameworks for Kotlin in 2022
    We just create the greetings table if it does not exist (instead of any database migration library like flyway). - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago
  • When in the CI/CD pipeline do you perform DB migration?
    I generally use flyway for this. You generally run it right before you deploy the latest version, or as part of the service. I mostly write Spring Boot services and these support flyway without issues. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Best way to create a development "environment" in Redshift
    For syncing the schema you can use a framework like flyway. Source: about 1 year ago
  • How to people organize their Repos?
    Also, from the "DevOps" point of view, this totally depends on what you want to achieve. If is a project that has changes on the database (new views, new tables...) on a regular basis I would consider using https://flywaydb.org/ in the pipeline. Source: about 1 year ago
  • do regular sql databases need migrations?
    We have a scala app, and use flyway (I'm not affiliated), all in version control, stored in the database, and linked to releases. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Top 5 Server-Side Frameworks for Kotlin in 2022: Micronaut
    Flyway is already enabled as we created the project adding the flyway feature, so we only need to add migrations under src/main/resources/db/migration to create and populate greetings table. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
  • Schema vs non-schema prpgramming
    Highly recommend you use either Liquibase or Flyway for schema management, and Testcontainers pg to run a transitive database for your tests. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Forget Azure SQL Edge on a M1 Mac—Run full-blown SQL Server Linux instead (a how-to)
    If however you require some of the features missing from the cutdown edge version, or a tool you use for schema versioning requires it (e.g. Flyway) then hopefully this simple how-to will get you going. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
  • Reactive Backend Applications with Spring Boot, Kotlin and Coroutines (Part 1)
    Since we don't use JPA/Hibernate anymore, we will need to be handling our DB structure ourselves. Luckily, for a simple case like ours, Spring supports DB schema initialization directly (a real-world application might use a tool like Flyway for this purpose). Let's create a schema.sql in our resources folder:. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
  • Flyway Migrations Naming Strategy in a Big Project
    Flyway is the great tool for managing database migrations. Years ago Martin Fowler described Evolutionary Database Design and the idea still rocks. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
  • Has anyone used Terraform for provisioning database schema?
    I'm not sure Terraform is the right tool, but there are other tools to work somewhat the same. I've heard good things about https://flywaydb.org/ but haven't used it myself. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Managing external database versions in Kubernetes
    I'd strongly advice against both flyway and liquibase in favor to Atlas with the respective TF provider. Source: over 1 year ago
