What is Liquibase?

Liquibase is a database change management tool that extends DevOps best practices to the database, helping teams release software faster and safer by bringing the database change process into existing CI/CD automation. According to the 2021 Accelerate State of DevOps Report, elite performers are 3.4 times more likely to incorporate database change management into their process than low performers.

Liquibase value proposition:

  • Liquibase speeds up the development process by closing the velocity gap. By bringing CI/CD automation to the database, teams can code at full speed and break through the database bottleneck of manual reviews.

  • Boasting a 94% reduction in errors, Liquibase enables teams to deliver continuously with full confidence. Liquibase equips teams with the tools needed to monitor changes, audit databases, detect possible malware, and improve observability.

  • Liquibase empowers teams to collaborate. By treating database code like application code, Liquibase is designed to make it easier for app developers to work with the database team by automating tedious, manual, and error-prone processes.

  • Rule changes are done through commits to repo
  • Setting up pipelines is a bit cumbersome

  • Automation - Improved data integrity and security validation, Expanded support for non-relational database types
  • Observability - Reports for code quality, security checks, updates, rollbacks, and Flows
  • Governance- Increased control of privileges and access for groups and individual users
  • Tracks every database changes by enforcing policy and compliance
  • Efficient - Standardized and self-service driven deployment process
  • Tracks every database changes by enforcing policy and compliance
  • Efficient - Standardized and self-service driven deployment process
Cons
  • Snapshot file: Only Liquibase can understand the content of the Json file. It would be beneficial if it can contain data along with the Meta data information
  • Would be great if Liquibase can come with a report showing the replica of database
  • it will help app team if they can export all objects on a database as a code and save it in a folder in Repo
  • For NoSQL DB - Drift and pre-validate is not working
  • DATABASECHANGELOGHISTORY table is not working for NoSQL DB
  • Generate changelog XML file: Only procedural objects are organized. It would be good, if it can organize all the DB objects
