About:
Goose is a command-line tool that manages database schema evolution by applying and rolling back migration scripts. It supports multiple databases including PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite, enabling developers to maintain version control for their database structures. The tool helps teams collaborate on database changes by providing a standardized, repeatable migration process.
Key Features:
  • Supports multiple database drivers (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, etc.)
  • SQL and Go-based migration files
  • Rollback functionality for reverting changes
  • Version tracking and status reporting
Use Cases:
  • Managing schema changes across development, staging, and production environments
  • Collaborating on database modifications within development teams
Alternatives:
  • Flyway – Java-based alternative with similar functionality but requires JVM
  • Liquibase – More complex XML/YAML-based approach with extensive enterprise features
