Your description fits what I was thinking about exactly. Is there a quick-start or example of the db migration? At first glance this left me feeling worried I would have to learn a new language (CUE?) and a bunch of new concepts. That's fair if that's what is necessary, but if I could leverage my existing knowledge of sql and other db migration tools that would make me feel less stressed.
- verdverm 5y agoThe hard part is detecting what has changed in the user's declarative desired state. What are they writing their desired state description in? At least it's not HCL?! We're building CUE powered dev tools, so our users and descriptions start with CUE, but we also keep you close to the underlying tech / lang. There are a number of options for declarative, but I haven't found any that handle the change detection and subsequent migration diff needed. They all seem to be whole schema. This is why I'm working on something for this problem, but also our declarative data models are for more than DBs, and they are composable and sharable.
