go-goose

What problem does it solve?

Goose enables teams to manage database migrations with a cohesive CLI and Go library, providing deterministic Up/Down execution, support for embedded migrations, and provider-based execution to keep schemas consistent across environments.

Core Features & Use Cases

• CLI-driven migrations: up, down, status, create, and versioning to manage schema changes across databases.
• Library & Provider API: embed, run, and track migrations from within Go applications using Goose APIs.
• Embedded migrations: read migrations from embedded FS and apply them at runtime.
• Versioning & annotations: follow goose's annotation rules and maintain ordered migrations for team collaboration.
• Use Case: migrate a PostgreSQL database by applying a set of SQL and Go migrations with proper rollback support.

Quick Start

Install the goose tooling, initialize a migrations directory, and create your first migration with goose create to begin managing your database schema.
