Flyway is a lightweight tool for managing and migrating database schemas using versioned migration scripts. It supports multiple database systems, enables automated migrations in CI/CD pipelines, and reduces manual interventions. Flyway integrates via SQL or Java migrations into build and deployment workflows and fits single projects and enterprise standards…

Flyway is a versioned database-migration tool that executes SQL or Java migration files against databases in order and records their state.
Axel Fontaine started Flyway in 2010 as a lightweight approach to managing database-schema changes reproducibly alongside application code.
Named versioned migrations form an ascending history, while repeatable migrations update repeatable objects. Flyway reads a schema-history table, validates checksums, and applies pending steps in order. Baseline, repair, info, and clean support defined lifecycle cases.
Unique immutable steps describe the evolution of the schema.
The database records which migration ran when and with what result.
Checksums and ordering detect altered or missing history before execution.
Flyway enables reproducible schema evolution in delivery pipelines. Migrations need forward compatibility, testing, and safe operation on large tables; backup, rollback strategy, locks, and separated permissions remain team responsibilities.
