Audience
Atlas is ideal for engineering teams, DevOps teams, and platform engineers who want safe, automated, and compliant database schema management at scale
About Atlas
Atlas is a modern platform for managing database schemas safely and automatically. It lets teams define their database schema as code and apply changes with confidence. Atlas plans and verifies migrations automatically, eliminating manual and error-prone workflows. Built for GitOps and CI/CD, it integrates seamlessly into modern development pipelines. Formal verification and policy checks help prevent destructive or unsafe schema changes. Atlas supports all major databases and works across local, staging, and production environments. It helps teams ship database changes faster while staying secure and compliant.

One area hasn’t benefited from the DevOps movement as much: The database change process. It’s time to bring CI/CD to the database. Application release technology has come a long way in the past several years. It used to take weeks or even months to release new software. Now that organizations have adopted new workflows and processes, the time it takes to complete a release has been reduced to days and even hours. Database schema migrations are an essential task for every software project. There are several different reasons why updates to the database are required. New features require new attributes in existing tables or entirely new tables. Bug fixes may lead to changes in names or data types in the database. Performance issues that require additional indexes in the database. Even in organizations that have adopted DevOps, manual rework is the norm when it comes to database schema and stored procedure changes.

SchemaSmith
SchemaSmith is a state-based database schema management toolset for SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MariaDB. Define your desired database state as metadata — tables, views, procedures, indexes, constraints, and reference data — and SchemaSmith transforms any target server to match, with no migration scripts to author or order. The suite includes SchemaTongs (extract a database's schema into versionable packages), SchemaQuench (deploy those packages to target servers), DataTongs reference-data delivery), and SchemaShears (object-level patch subsets). It ships as self-contained, single-file command-line executables for Windows, macOS, and Linux — no runtime install required.

Bytebase
Bytebase is an open-source database governance platform for developers, DBAs, security teams, and AI agents. It helps organizations govern how databases are changed and accessed through three pillars:
1. Database Change Management — review and approve schema and data changes, automate SQL checks with 100+ rules, coordinate multi-database rollouts, and integrate migrations with GitOps and CI/CD.
2. Database Access Control — replace shared credentials and standing privileges with fine-grained permissions, just-in-time access, and dynamic data masking.
3. Database Compliance — maintain detailed audit logs showing who changed or accessed which data, what actions were performed, and when they occurred.
By bringing these workflows into one control plane, Bytebase improves developer productivity while reducing operational, security, and compliance risk across major database systems and environments.

Ariga
Define the desired schema of your database in a familiar and declarative syntax. Our open-source engine automatically generates migration plans that are verified during your team’s existing CI pipeline and safely deployed to production. Our platform rigorously simulates and analyzes each proposed change during your team’s existing CI flow to ensure no one accidentally breaks the database. Catch destructive changes, backward-incompatibility issues, accidental table locks and constraint violations way before they reach production. Deploy database schema changes as part of your continuous delivery pipelines with our Terraform or Helm integrations. Using our platform, you can safely execute changes that cannot be completely verified during CI, as they depend on the data in the target database.
