FAQPage Schema
How do I manage database migrations in a monorepo across different environments?▼

Managing database migrations in a monorepo requires a standardized workflow to coordinate schema changes across local, CI, and staging environments. This ensures environment parity and safe rollback procedures for dependent services.

What is the best way to handle schema changes and version control in database deployments?▼

Handling schema changes requires versioned migrations integrated with version control and review steps. This approach validates schema changes, plans for safe rollbacks to minimize downtime, and standardizes the deployment process.

How does a standardized database workflow handle adding new tables and altering columns?▼

A standardized database workflow handles adding new tables and altering columns by enforcing schema change validation and testing. It guides developers through the process from design through deployment to ensure reliable updates.

Can I coordinate database migrations with dependent services in a monorepo?▼

Yes, you can coordinate database migrations with dependent services in a monorepo. The workflow provides canonical guidance for packages/db to streamline changes and ensure consistent practices across all dependent components.

Do I need a specific rollback procedure for database schema changes in CI?▼

Yes, you need safe rollback procedures for database schema changes in CI. The workflow satisfies requirements for versioned migrations and environment parity to ensure that schema changes can be safely reversed if issues arise.

When do I need versioned migrations for my database workflow?▼

You need versioned migrations whenever you modify database schemas to ensure changes are tracked and applied consistently. This process is essential for maintaining environment parity and coordinating updates across local, CI, and staging.
