EllieI’ve been working on adding a database (mongo) migration framework to a node project recently and I deeply miss the Django migration framework. The “best” off the shelf library is ok but lacks advanced features and I’m finding myself wrapping more and more of it behind my own CLI logic. I tend to lean heavily towards off the shelf vs build your own for this stuff like this, but at this point…what’s the difference 🤷♂️
Richard Brockie@shepdelacreme Yes! Migrating (originally a separate project called South before v1.7) is one of the continued joys of Django. It gives me so much freedom to just get on with things rather then worry about getting the model exactly correct the first time.
(I still have a slight feeling of foreboding when I apply a migration to my live database even though I am paranoid about backups.)
