Today we have a robust set of tools for code versioning, CI and release management - for e.g. Java, .NET, Ruby web or REST applications. Examples of tools are Github, Hudson, Jetkins, etc.
But what about the RDBMS? How do we manage it across the various environments - i.e. from development to integration to UAT to production. A good illustration of the typical challenges is given here.
Flyway is a tool to address these problems. Using simple techniques such as a schema-version table and automatically apply db scripts (that follow a naming convention for sequence tracking), the tool can help any Agile project in managing RDBMS instances across different environments. It would also be a nifty addition to your existing DevOps tools.
