Get to use Python :) (joking, obvs) It's always interesting to rummage cross platform to look at libraries so you can steal the good bits. SQLAlchemy has its roots in Hibernate for example. I'm also a very happy user of Alembic. I change my models as required and then use autogenerate to create the migration scripts. Then I tweak to account for slightly more esoteric things and data migrations. I find that it gets me 80% of the way there without having to think too much about the data model changes while I'm doing the initial development.
