AI agents are becoming a core part of daily development. We utilize them to help us write code, fix syntax errors, and perform tasks that speed up routine work. However, when it comes to high-risk operations like database schema changes, we are more hesitant to hand off control.

If you're currently partaking in the online conversation around AI agents, you have likely seen many posts like this where an AI agent executed improper schema changes or, in the case of our vibe coder, deleted whole databases.

While the AI agent can generate migrations and provide suggestions, it’s important to ensure these operations are performed safely.

Atlas is a database schema management tool that ensures safe and reliable schema changes. Users define their schemas as code, and Atlas performs migrations based on changes to these code definitions. With Atlas, you can configure lint checks, pre-migration validations, and schema testing, making it an ideal counterpart for AI agents.

In this post, we'll show you how to configure popular AI agents to work with Atlas to ensure that schema changes made by the agent are secure.

Hey everyone!

It's been a couple of months since our last release, but for good reason. Today, I am super excited to tell you about everything we have been up to. Here's what's in store for you in this release, v0.33:

• Atlas Copilot: A new coding assistant that helps you better manage your Atlas projects by leveraging an agentic, LLM-based approach.
• Support for --include: Atlas Pro users may now use the --include flag to specify which database objects to query during inspection.
• migrate/diff in GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and CircleCI - Atlas now supports the migrate diff command in GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and CircleCI. This allows teams to build CI/CD pipelines that automatically generate migration files based on the current state of the database and the desired state of the schema.
• Check-level Lint Policies: Atlas comes pre-packaged with many built in analyzers that can be used to verify the safety of changes to your database. Using Check-level Lint Policies, you can now configure your CI/CD's pipelines sensitivity to these analyzers.
• Support for sensitive annotations in migration files: Migration files can sometimes include sensitive or PII values, either passed in as input variables (using template-directories) or embedded directly in SQL statements. To prevent these values from being logged, Atlas provides a directive for marking files or specific statements as sensitive. This directive can be set at either the file or statement level.
• Atlas Dashboard UI Revamp: We recently revamped the Atlas dashboard UI. The new design is cleaner and more modern, making it easier to navigate and find the information you need. Congrats to the team for their hard work on this!
