Does this skill support rollback procedures?

Yes, it provides specific strategies for transaction-based migrations and checkpoint-based rollbacks to ensure data safety and recoverability.

Which ORMs are supported by this skill?

The skill includes specialized implementation guidance for Sequelize, TypeORM, and Prisma.

Can I use this for zero-downtime deployments?

Absolutely. It includes patterns for multi-phase migrations, such as blue-green strategies, that allow applications to remain online during column updates.

Does it handle differences between PostgreSQL and MySQL?

Yes, it includes logic for handling dialect-specific features, such as the differences between JSONB in PostgreSQL and JSON in MySQL.

What are the best practices included in this skill?

It emphasizes essential practices like always providing a rollback (down method), using transactions, backing up data, and breaking changes into small steps.
