Azure Pipelines vs. Liquibase

It is good tool if you are doing continuous improvements in your code and you wish it goes live whenever you push code to GitHub. So integrating Azure Pipeline, it automatically does CI/CD in the background once you push code/merge code and it is live in few minutes. It also does some automated tests if you have wrote scripts

Store versions of DB's and Schemas this is useful for every software developer company that works with Databases. Now days al the software use a DB and control those changes are a must. have the power to rollback safe has change the way that we work. This increase speed in development while increase the business confidence.

• It's a useful tool for managing database versions and aiding in the development of database CI/CD pipelines.
• The deployment and management of database updates are simple.
• It provides quality checks to spot problems in DB scripts and DB pipeline views to track changes made to DB.

• The errors which we got sometimes are not clearly enough.
• There are some let's say hidden options, they could be more visible
• When the process is running we have to remember about manually refreshing to see the current status because it doesn't work automatically

• Reducing Compatibility issues, when we upgraded Liquibase from 4.2 to 4.9. The same changeset which we were able to run on successfully using 4.2, part of it was now failing when tried to deploy using 4.9
• We are not able to see detailed logs (for different changes) in uDeploy when deploying changes through Liquibase
• Liquibase should rollback the if any one of the changes fails.

We are and will continue using Liquibase and it has become an integral part of our portfolio offering, any new product is by default adopting Liquibase stack.

Build process is too time consuming and getting extra DB instance takes a toll

Liquibase's customer support is at the top of my list of all vendors I've ever worked with over my 12 years of experience. They work directly with you to be successful, and response time is second to none. Liquibase is committed to getting customers up and running and - more importantly - successful in their organization and becoming champions of the product.

the database deployments helped us with increased productivity,
faster delivery and low risk.

We have used the GitHub CI/CD. Earlier we were using the Azure Pipelines but after GitHub had their actions, we integrated that for CI/CD. It runs the tests and makes a production build which can be live. GitHub CI/CD is more useful because we have to make script only once then just by few changes we can deploy it onto Azure, AWS, Google anywhere so we found it more convenient

To be honest, the option of having a free community plan to start testing in a test environment, followed by taking it in production a few months is a great way to evaluate wether or not to do the subscription based plan.

• we have had outages from Azure in the past

• We need to re-educate developers to use Liquibase.
• In some cases, it is hard to align when several teams work on the same DB.
• On the other hand, Liquibase provides order and consistency in managing DB changes.
• Evidence and traceability are a plus.
