Reshape is a zero-downtime schema migration tool for Postgres, written in Rust. It keeps old and new schemas available simultaneously via views and triggers, allowing gradual application rollouts without locking or downtime.

Use cases

• run zero-downtime schema migrations on postgres
• rename or alter columns without locking tables
• gradually roll out database schema changes alongside app deploys
• avoid downtime from blocking DDL in production postgres
• manage complex multi-step postgres migrations automatically

When to choose

• you run Postgres 12+ and need schema changes without downtime
• your migrations would otherwise lock tables or require manual multi-step changes
• you want old and new schemas available simultaneously during deploys

When to avoid

• you use a database other than Postgres
• you need a simple dev-only migration runner without zero-downtime guarantees
• you rely on direct table access rather than the views Reshape creates
