## What it is
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
