What is Database-as-code?

A workflow to store database schema changes as a series of schema migration scripts in the version control system (VCS). Whenever new script committed to the VCS, a process will kickoff automatically to start the process of applying the script to the database. Thus the database schema change is managed in a very similar fashion as code. This workflow is considered superior than the classic UI based SQL review workflow. However, it requires a bit more setup and engineering discipline. Bytebase supports this workflow and helps ease the onboarding and ongoing management of using this workflow.
