Migratus

Uses 14-digit timestamps instead of sequential integers to avoid collisions in distributed teams, as recommended in the README, ensuring reliable merging in git workflows.

Treats each migration independently, allowing non-linear branch merging without skipping migrations, which is explicitly designed for unpredictable merge orders.

Supports both SQL scripts and Clojure code-based migrations via .edn files, enabling programmatic data transformations for complex scenarios like backfilling from external systems.

Runs migrations within transactions by default with an opt-out (-- :disable-transaction) for databases that don't support transactional DDL, balancing safety and flexibility.

Allows placeholders like ${property.name} in migration files, replaced with environment variables or custom properties, simplifying configuration across different deployments.
