Description
This is a surprisingly controversial topic. In this episode, we share why we write down migration methods, and it's probably not the reason you're thinking of.
- (00:00) - Is writing down migration methods just a weird habit?
- (02:30) - A deploy that goes horribly wrong immediately
- (03:45) - Rolling forward due to database engine limitations
- (05:00) - How long is too long to rollback?
- (06:30) - Another use case: switching branches
- (08:30) - A mental unit test for your logic
- (12:35) - Silly bit
No call to action on this episode, just go enjoy some quiet time to yourself.
