Backend Migrations

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the complexities of database schema evolution, ensuring that changes are applied safely, reversibly, and without disrupting live applications. It prevents data loss, minimizes downtime during deployments, and maintains database integrity.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Reversible Migrations: Create migrations that can be easily rolled back if issues arise.
• Zero-Downtime Deployments: Design schema changes to be compatible with existing code during deployment.
• Use Case: When adding a new column to a critical production table, use this skill to guide the AI in creating a migration that is reversible and can be deployed without taking the application offline.

Quick Start

Generate a backend migration to add a 'status' column (string, nullable) to the 'orders' table, ensuring it's reversible.
