adapt is a simple, non-magical general purpose migration library that gets embedded into your application.

Features

• 🟢 Simplicity: Migration lifecycle and schema versioning is completely abstracted and managed by adapt
• 🟢 Concurrency controlled (protected from race-conditions): Mutexes and other techniques are used to prevent multiple adapt instances conflicting each other during concurrent boot-ups
• 🟢 Extensible: Simple Driver and migration Source interfaces
• 🟢 Migrations: can be provided in a variety of ways and get merged and sorted into a single migration-collection, which is applied against the version-controlled schema in your storage
  • Go Code for all non-database migrations or situations where SQL doesn't do the job
  • Embed migration folders containing your SQL scripts
  • Hardcoded SQL statements
• 🟢 Branching and merging compatible: adapt automatically catches up with missing migrations ("holes")
• 🟢 Zero external dependencies
• 🟢 Customizable Logging: adapt uses slog included with Go 1.21+ so that you can provide your own logging backend.

Supported Storage Driver

• File - Basic driver that stores migration meta-data in a local JSON file (demonstrates how a Driver without any reliance or dependency on database/sql can be written.)
• MySQL / MariaDB
• SQLite
• PostgreSQL
• Add driver ?

Any other storage backend by providing your own Driver, DatabaseDriver or SqlStatementsDriver. Unlike most other migration tools, with adapt there is no reliance on database/sql (such a case can be seen with the included FileDriver)

Supported Migrations

• Go Code
• Filesystem
• In-memory
• Embedded Filesystem - Using Go 1.16+ go:embed

Install

$ go get github.com/harwoeck/adapt

Usage

var db *sql.DB = initDB()

err := adapt.Migrate(
    "[email protected]",                      // <name> of executor
    adapt.NewMySQLDriver(db),               // Database driver
    adapt.SourceCollection{
        adapt.NewFilesystemSource("./sql"), // SQL-Migration-Scripts from filesystem
    })

Note

Next example: Due to compliance rules you decide to encrypt your users email addresses inside your database. Since this requires actual Go code (and not just SQL statements), you could implement one of the adapt.Hook functions and during your next deployment adapt will notice this new unapplied migration and execute your hook. When no error is returned adapt will commit the transaction and update the schema table with the relevant meta information.

err := adapt.Migrate(
    "[email protected]",                      // <name> of executor
    adapt.NewMySQLDriver(db),               // Database driver
    adapt.SourceCollection{                 // adapt will automatically merge and sort all provided sources for you
        adapt.NewFilesystemSource("./sql"), // SQL-Migration-Scripts from filesystem
        adapt.NewCodeSource("2020-04-17_1104_encrypt-user-email", adapt.Hook{
            MigrateUpTx: func(tx *sql.Tx) error {
                // For this encrypt-migration you could use `MigrateUpTx` to load
                // the rows, encrypt the content in Go and update the columns again
                // within a single managed transaction.
                return nil
            },
        },
    })
