Using Flyway for Database


Migration
Hibernate.ddl-auto=update in Production:
• Unpredictable Schema Changes:
Renaming a column in an entity class may result in the creation of a new column in
the database rather than renaming the existing one, leading to potential data loss
or inconsistency.

• Data Loss Risk:


Removing an entity might cause Hibernate to drop the column or table, which could
remove important production data.

• Lack of Control and Irreversible


Spring Boot + Flyway
Why use Flyway:

• Flyway offers structured database schema management and


version control.
• It automates migration script execution and maintains a
version history for seamless migrations across
environments.
• Integration with Spring Boot streamlines deployment,
allowing developers to focus on feature development rather
than migration management.
