node-pg-migrate is a Node.js/TypeScript database migration tool built exclusively for PostgreSQL (also compatible with CockroachDB). It provides both a CLI and a programmatic API for defining up/down schema migrations in JavaScript or TypeScript.

Use cases

• manage postgresql schema migrations in node.js
• run up and down database migrations from the cli
• write migrations programmatically in typescript
• migrate cockroachdb schemas
• version control database schema changes
• create tables and alter schemas without raw sql

When to choose

• your stack is Node.js/TypeScript with PostgreSQL or CockroachDB
• you want a programmatic migration API instead of raw SQL files
• you need CLI support for creating and running up/down migrations

When to avoid

• you use MySQL, SQLite, or other non-PostgreSQL databases
• you need a language-agnostic migration tool usable outside Node.js
• you run an unsupported old PostgreSQL version (below 14)
