Database DevOps

Version Control and Migration

Flyway Implementation

-- V1__initial_schema.sql
CREATE TABLE users (
    id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
    email VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL UNIQUE,
    created_at TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);

-- V2__add_user_status.sql
ALTER TABLE users ADD COLUMN status VARCHAR(50) DEFAULT 'active';

Automated Testing

# Database CI pipeline
name: Database CI
on: [pull_request]
jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    services:
      postgres:
        image: postgres:15
        env:
          POSTGRES_PASSWORD: test
        options: >-
          --health-cmd pg_isready

  engine             = "aurora-postgresql"
  engine_version     = "15.3"
  master_username    = data.aws_secretsmanager_secret_version.db_creds.username
  master_password    = data.aws_secretsmanager_secret_version.db_creds.password
  backup_retention_period = 7
  
  serverlessv2_scaling_configuration {
    min_capacity = 0.5
    max_capacity = 4.0
  }
}
