To deploy database changes to production, migration systems like Liquibase or Flyway are usually used. Liquibase allows describing database changes in scripts (XML, YAML, JSON, or SQL), which are applied sequentially and tracked in a special table.
The process typically involves:
- Developing and testing migrations in the dev environment.
- Checking migrations on staging.
- Automatically or manually running Liquibase on production, which applies only new changes.
Liquibase helps avoid conflicts, reapplication, and provides rollback capabilities if necessary.
Example command to run migrations:
liquibase update
