How to Test Database Migrations Without Downtime
from Software Testing with Fexingo: QA, Automation, and Reliable Software Engineering Hosted by Fexingo
Database migrations are one of the riskiest operations in software—a botched schema change can take down a service or corrupt data. In this episode, Lucas and Luna discuss the concept of expand-and-contract migrations, using the example of splitting a users table. They explain how to test migrations in a staging environment, the role of feature flags, and why rollback strategies matter. They also touch on the importance of load testing against a copy of production data. Tune in to learn a practical approach to keeping your database changes safe and your service available. #DatabaseMigrations #SchemaChange #ExpandAndContract #TestingStrategy #RollbackPlan #FeatureFlags #DataIntegrity #StagingEnvironment #LoadTesting #ContinuousDelivery #SoftwareTesting #QA #Tech #SoftwareEngineering #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Technology #Reliability Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
