modernize database schema migrations with atlas
Manage your database schema-as-code for modern, reliable CI/CD pipelines.
It's 2025, but schema migrations are still a PAIN
The main advantage of Atlas over other tools is that it allows a "declarative workflow". This means that you no longer need to write migrations as SQL scripts that need to be executed in a particular order, as in Flyway or Liquibase. Rather, you define the schema you desire, and Atlas figures out how to get the production schema to that desired state

As applications become more data-intensive, evolving your database schema becomes a critical daily task.
But with DBA-level expertise becoming increasingly scarce, every schema change is a potential production outage.
Manually planning and validating migrations is daunting for most developers, and classic tools offer little help—slowing development and creating a bad developer experience.
Existing tools don’t cut it.
Manual migration planning is a headache for everyone
No protection against accidental data deletion

Recently I found a nice sql migration tool that automates sql operations on dbs and automates pipelines on different git db schema branches. It is @ariga_io
Database migrations are often one of the most dreaded parts of working with SQL databases. Atlas solves this problem by offering you to define your SQL schemas in a declarative manner, without requiring you to use a specific ORM.
Generating and applying migrations is very straight-forward. A powerful and elegant tool, we are now integrating Atlas into our GitHub workflows. Atlas is a natural extension of the tools we already use and a joy to work with!
We’ve been using Atlas for >1 year now and we still love it, so thanks for bulding such a great reliable tool 🙌
Finally, a tool that eases the headaches of dealing with migrations, dirty states, merging conflicts, and thinking about rolling back to previous states... hands down, with Atlas, I've had the best experience ever!
Atlas enables our team to efficiently and safely manage our application schema. With features like linting, automated migrations for our ORM, and Kubernetes support, it seamlessly integrates into our development ecosystem.
Atlas is leagues ahead of every other migration tool—especially drizzle-kit. After using Atlas in production for months, I wouldn't start a new project without it.
