Database Migrations

4. Database Migrations​

Prisma’s migration system was used to synchronize our schema changes with the database. Each time we modify schema.prisma, we create and apply a migration.

Creating a Migration​

To apply schema changes, we use:

npx prisma migrate dev --name <migration_name>

This command generates a new migration file containing SQL commands to implement the changes in the database.

Migrations in Production​

In production, the npx prisma migrate deploy command is used to apply all pending migrations in one step, ensuring the database schema is up to date.
