There is some migration tooling (HANA), but it won't be able to solve all issues (no framework can), as it strongly depends on how your migration looks like. However, it's purely declarative (for the generic CRUD operations), which helps you "experimenting" with different approaches more easily. It supports projections and allows CRUD operations on them (if the projections are not too complicated). For some migrations this is sufficient, but of course not if your additional business logic depends on it. The real power is more regarding the server/UI layer as you will be able to change the server code without needing to change the UI (except if you have custom UI code), as the UI is dynamically constructed based on the model metadata coming from the server. In your migration, this is not a big problem as you can pin newer versions of your UI to newer versions of your server, but here you just don't have to, which is neat.
