Overall Satisfaction with Liquibase

We use Liquibase to manage database schema changes across environments in a controlled, versioned, and automated manner. It addresses business problems like inconsistent schema deployments, manual errors, and lack of traceability. Our use case includes CI/CD integration for automated rollouts, tracking changesets in source control, and ensuring database compliance and rollback capability for multiple Oracle and other DBs.

Pros

  • Version-Controlled Database Migrations
  • Rollback and Change Auditing
  • Environment-Agnostic Deployments with Contexts and Parameters

Cons

  • Learning Curve for XML/YAML Syntax and Tags
  • Fewer Database Errors and Production Incidents
  • Faster and More Reliable Deployments
Before Liquibase, DB changes were applied manually or through ad hoc SQL scripts, leading to inconsistencies. Liquibase introduced a structured, repeatable process where every change is tracked in source control and automatically applied across environments.Liquibase enabled our DBAs and developers to include schema changes as part of our CI/CD pipelines (e.g., with Jenkins and GitHub Actions), reducing dependency on manual interventions during deployments.
Rich Documentation and Community Resources
The official documentation is comprehensive, and the Liquibase community (forums, GitHub, Stack Overflow) is active and helpful. Many issues can be resolved without opening a support ticket.


Helpful During Onboarding and Integration
During our initial setup and CI/CD integration phase, support resources and example templates were particularly helpful in getting us started quickly.
