About:
Dbmate is a database migration tool designed to keep your database schema in sync across multiple environments. It allows you to write migrations in raw SQL, making it framework-agnostic and easy to use with any project. It supports multiple databases including SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and ClickHouse.
Key Features:
  • Framework-agnostic and language-agnostic
  • Supports multiple databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, etc.)
  • Migrations written in raw SQL
  • Simple CLI with zero external dependencies
  • Built-in support for creating and applying migrations
Use Cases:
  • Managing database schema changes in microservices
  • Standardizing migration workflows across different tech stacks
  • Version controlling database schema in CI/CD pipelines
Alternatives:
  • Flyway – Dbmate is lighter and SQL-focused, while Flyway is Java-based with more enterprise features
  • Liquibase – Dbmate is simpler and uses raw SQL, while Liquibase supports XML/YAML definitions and complex logic
