Overview & Goal

---

This guide details the setup and workflow for using Flyway to manage automatic database updates during deployments.

By adding each database modification as a new SQL migration file, Flyway can safely execute only the missing migrations in the correct sequence during the CI/CD pipeline.

This approach eliminates the need for giant SQL files, prevents duplicate executions, removes the need for manual tracking of database changes, and ensures consistency across production environments.
