Skeema
Declarative pure-SQL schema management tool for MySQL and MariaDB using CREATE statements.
What is Skeema?
Skeema is a declarative schema management tool for MySQL and MariaDB that uses pure SQL CREATE statements stored in files to define and manage database schemas. It enables teams to handle schema changes in a version-controlled, Git-based workflow, similar to how they manage code changes, by automatically generating DDL through diffs between live databases and schema repositories.
Database administrators, DevOps engineers, and development teams working with MySQL or MariaDB who need to manage schema changes in a collaborative, version-controlled environment. It is particularly suited for organizations adopting GitOps practices or CI/CD pipelines for database changes.
Developers choose Skeema for its declarative, pure-SQL approach that integrates seamlessly with Git, enabling per-object history tracking and pull-request workflows. Its built-in safety mechanisms ensure generated DDL is always correct, and it offers configurable support for online schema change tools and linting rules to enforce schema design policies.
