Spring Boot Database Migrations with Flyway

Date: 2020-11-30

This tutorial demonstrates database migration in a Spring Boot application using Flyway. It assumes basic Spring Boot knowledge and a running PostgreSQL database (easily set up using Docker). The process involves setting up dependencies (Spring Boot, Flyway, PostgreSQL, etc.) in pom.xml, configuring the application in application.properties, and creating SQL migration scripts (V1.0create_table.sql, V1.1insert_table.sql, etc.) in the db/migration folder. Flyway automatically applies these migrations on application startup, logging the process. Migration status is viewable via a Spring Boot Actuator endpoint.
