Flyway is an open-source database migration tool by Redgate that versions and applies schema and data changes across 50+ database systems using SQL, Java, or script-based migrations tracked in a schema history table. It ships as a Java library, Maven/Gradle plugin, and standalone CLI, integrating with CI/CD pipelines and frameworks like Spring Boot.
Use cases
- version and apply database schema changes automatically
- run database migrations in CI/CD pipelines
- keep database schemas in sync across environments
- migrate a database schema on application startup
- manage SQL migration scripts with version numbering
- roll out schema changes to multiple database instances
- set up database migrations for a Spring Boot project
When to choose
- you need reliable, versioned schema migrations across many database engines
- you want migrations as plain SQL files tracked in source control
- you need a Java/JVM-integrated migration tool for CI/CD or Spring Boot
- you want a mature, widely adopted tool with a simple convention-over-configuration workflow
When to avoid
- you need bidirectional schema sync or automatic diffing between a live database and models
- you require advanced features like undo, drift detection, or a GUI, which are paid Redgate editions
- your stack is non-JVM and you prefer a different migration ecosystem (e.g., Alembic, Django migrations)
- you need complex programmatic transformation logic beyond what SQL/Java migrations comfortably express
