Database Migrations: The Full Lifecycle

Ever wondered what really happens between "I need to change this column" and "it's live in production"? We trace the full migration lifecycle — from the initial decision through ORM-generated SQL, review, testing, and the multi-step deployments that keep production alive. Learn the expand/contract pattern, why reviewing generated SQL is non-negotiable, and how to avoid the failures that lock tables for hours.
