Zero-downtime schema changes

Schema changes in production are scary. With Xata, they don’t have to be.

Test your changes in a branch first before migrating to production.

Define how your data gets backfilled with SQL statements during the migration.

View all schema changes made since the creation of the database.

Schema changes use pgroll, an open source command-line tool created by Xata, for Postgres databases.

Diff your changes

Just like your developer workflow, test your database schema changes in a branch and see a diff of the two.

With simple JSON based migration scripts and your schema history, stay in control of the changes made to your database.

Schema changes plug right into your CI/CD development workflow and deploy previews.
