The "Database as Code" Manifesto
A manifesto advocating for treating database interactions, queries, and lifecycle management as plain code with SQL as the primary language.
What is The "Database as Code" Manifesto?
Database as Code is a manifesto and approach that advocates treating database interactions, queries, administration, and the entire database lifecycle as plain code. It extends the Infrastructure as Code concept to databases, emphasizing SQL as a human-oriented programming language for both data and metadata. The approach solves the problem of database management being treated separately from application development by integrating database code into standard software engineering practices.
Database administrators, data engineers, data analysts, and software developers who work with databases and want to apply software engineering practices to database management. Teams looking to integrate database changes into their CI/CD pipelines and version control systems.
Developers choose Database as Code because it provides a consistent approach to managing databases using familiar software engineering practices, enables better collaboration between development and data teams, and treats SQL as a first-class programming language rather than just a data query tool.
