Liquibase

Liquibase is a database change management tool that helps 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 delivers DevOps for the database.

Liquibase value proposition:

• Liquibase speeds up the development process. The vendor states that teams that use Liquibase deploy 233% more often. Liquibase helps teams break through the database bottleneck of manual reviews to get features to customers faster.

• Liquibase aims to eliminate database code errors, boasting a 94% reduction in errors. Liquibase allows teams to fully test and roll back database changes before they get to production.

• 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 leveraging the same tools that they’re already comfortable with.

• No one enjoys missing date night or a dance recital because the database deployment failed. Many teams rely on DBAs and database developers to fix issues and manually review code 24/7. Liquibase helps automate tedious manual, error-prone processes so that the database team can focus on more important tasks.
