I'm not the person you've asked, but I've worked in devops before. It kinda doesn't matter which you do first. And if you squint a little, it's effectively the same thing, because the migration will likely only become available via a deployment too So yeah, the only things that's important is that the DB migration can't cause an incompatibility with any currently deployed version of the code - and if it would, you'll have to split the change so it doesn't. It'll force another deploy for the change you want to do, but it's what you're forced to do if maintenance windows aren't an option. Which is kinda a given for most b2c products
