Database migrations

Database migrations refer to the process of moving and updating data from one database system or structure to another. This can involve changing the database type, like moving from a simple system to a more complex one, or altering the way data is organized within the same system. Migrations are essential for improving performance, adding new features, or scaling applications. Think of it as renovating a house: you’re not only moving things around but also improving the layout and functionality to better meet your needs. Proper planning ensures data integrity and minimizes disruption during the process.
