Database changes often pose a significant risk and delay during deployment. Using a tool to version control schema changes is an important aspect of implementing effective database change management. Alembic is one such powerful data migration tool that helps to capture every schema change as a migration script and ensures that the database accurately reflects the data models.
In a recent video, Akhil Kakumanu, Data Engineer at SpringML demonstrates a step-by-step explanation of how flask-migrate with flask-sqlalchemy help in managing data schema migrations on cloud SQL. He also touches upon the configuration setup, writing schema models, and generating migration scripts for version control.
