Overall Satisfaction with Liquibase

DevOps is the acronym for Developer and Operations, a concept that integrates the IT department with other engineering areas like logistics, marketing, and sales. DevOps software writing and delivery phases are Planning, Developing, Delivering, and Operating. Each step requires tracking every change done to the IT systems. This change log requirement involves the use of a database tracking the table modifications. Liquibase can work with the major database of the market like Oracle, SQL Server, and Mysql to maintain a change log.
  • Alter database tables logs.
  • Connection to major database with JDBC (ex. MySql, SQL Server, Oracle)
  • Text Description of the change with user and ID information.
  • Work with SAP Hana database.
  • Gropuing chart of change logs to identify users and description with more changes.
  • Time-Series of logs chart to identify the frequency of the changes and measure the RISK.
  • Tracking the database tables chages and the responsible.
  • Text description of the table change.
  • Change log formats in XML, JSON, SQL, and YAML.
Positive impact on the developer team to stay according to the Plan because they have to justify every change saved on the Liquibase with responsible and text description. This discipline avoids last-hour changes that otherwise could be undocumented. The change log helps to identify the possible risks of changes to tables that are critical to the daily operation.
I used the trial evaluation of Liquidbase but I received support and email from the team all over the trial period. Also, if you test the FREE open-source version of Liquibase you have community support with a high participation rate. If you choose the open-source version you could have an excellent approach to the Liquibase capabilities and then move to the PRO version.

The Liquibase application is helpful in keeping the Developer's Operation (DevOps) steps change logs and checking if the software development is following the guidelines defined during the Planning step. Liquibase keeps track of every table alteration during the Develop, Deliver, and Operate activities of the software writing and delivering. The change logs help to do a continuous delivery and also to research Security and Compliance. It would be helpful the integration with SAP Hana because it works with online transactions and business intelligence at the same time. It is necessary to keep track of the reports from the ERP and the Data Warehousing.
