The official command-line interface for the Sequelize ORM, providing commands to initialize projects, generate models, migrations, and seeders, and run or revert database migrations and seeds. It is installed as a dev dependency (sequelize-cli) and used via npx in Node.js projects.

Use cases

• run pending database migrations for a sequelize project
• generate a new model and its migration file
• seed a database with test data
• revert the last database migration
• initialize sequelize config and directory structure in a project
• create and drop databases from configuration

When to choose

• you use Sequelize ORM and need managed schema migrations
• you want to scaffold models, migrations, and seeders quickly
• you need repeatable database setup across environments

When to avoid

• you use a different ORM or raw SQL migration tools
• your project does not use Node.js or Sequelize
• you need a GUI database management tool
