About:
Liquibase Community is an open-source database schema change management tool. It enables developers to define database changes in version-controlled files, allowing for reliable and repeatable database deployments across different environments. This version control approach ensures database schemas remain synchronized with application code.

Key Features:

Schema version control with XML, JSON, YAML, or SQL formats
Supports multiple databases including PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, and SQL Server
Rollback capabilities to revert failed deployments
Integrates with CI/CD pipelines for automated database updates
Preconditions and context checks for safe migrations

Use Cases:

Automating database schema migrations in CI/CD pipelines
Managing database changes across development, staging, and production environments
Enabling database changes to be peer-reviewed through version control systems

Alternatives:

Flyway – Flyway uses SQL-only migrations and is simpler but less flexible than Liquibase's multi-format approach
DBMigrate – Commercial alternative with GUI-focused workflow vs Liquibase's code-first approach
