OrderHub Day 3: Versioned Schema With Flyway Migrations (Spring Boot)
Short summary
Day 3 of OrderHub series demonstrates using Flyway for versioned database migrations in Spring Boot, replacing risky ORM auto-generation with reproducible, reviewable SQL files. Workflow: write ordered migration files (V1, V2), switch Hibernate ddl-auto to validate mode, let Flyway manage schema convergence. Append-only migrations ensure reproducibility.
