Show HN: DBLift – database migration management for Python teams

1 point by cmodiano 7 minutes ago

I’ve been working for a while on DBLift, an open-source database migration toolkit for Python teams. DBLift follows the same model flyway does with the same main commands and the same history table structure making it easy to switch from one to the other with the import_flyway command.

By default DBLift is out of order meaning that any unapplied migration is eligible to be applied contrary to flyway which refuse to apply any migration with a lower version until you force it. You can still apply the original flyway model you can still opt-in with the —strict flag. https://docs.dblift.com/migrations-versioning

The main difference is the runtime, No JVM. If you already work in python DBLift integrates with your existing tooling: pip, sqlalchemy, Django, Flask…

Honest feedback welcome — especially if you're currently using Flyway on a Python project and it works fine, I'd like to understand what I'm missing.
