10/12/2022, 7:37 PMGiven that applied schemas are upserted - have others used a pattern similar to database migrations for handling schema changes?

10/12/2022, 7:58 PMI was interested in any best practices around storing the schema file in a production setting - how to best handle migrations to avoid breaking changes (i.e. being able to test a schema change against the current state of the schema before it hits production)

10/12/2022, 7:58 PMIt sort of feels like a problem similar to database migrations - they get applied on top of eachother and you can always ensure that they are compatible by re-running them against a clean instance

10/12/2022, 9:36 PMYeah, we have plans for formal tooling around migrations for that reason
