Alembic Airflow Provider

An Airflow Provider to use Alembic to manage database migrations Read more here

Setup

Locally

Install the Alembic CLI with pip install alembic

In Airflow

Add airflow-provider-alembic to your requirements.txt or equivalent

Usage

• Create the required files for Alembic in either your dags folder or the include folder

mkdir dags/migrations
cd dags/migrations
alembic init .

• Create a revision

alembic revision -m "My Database Revision"

• Edit the revision - adding, modifying, or removing objects as needed

...

def upgrade():
    # Use ORM to create objects
    op.create_table(
        'foo',
        sa.Column('id', sa.Integer, primary_key=True),
        sa.Column('name', sa.String(50), nullable=False),
        sa.Column('description', sa.Unicode(200)),
    )
    # Or run raw SQL
    op.execute("SELECT 1;")


def downgrade():
    # Specify the opposite of your upgrade, to rollback
    op.drop_table('account')

• Add a Connection to Airflow For demo purposes, we will add an in-memory SQLite3 Connection named sqlite via our .env file:

AIRFLOW_CONN_SQLITE="sqlite:///:memory:"

• Restart (or start) your project with astro dev restart
• Add a DAG, to run your revision. Because this has @once, it will run as soon as the DAG is turned on. Future runs for future revisions will need to be triggered.

import os
from datetime import datetime

from airflow.models import DAG
from airflow.models.param import Param

from airflow_provider_alembic.operators.alembic import AlembicOperator

with DAG(
        "example_alembic",
        schedule="@once",  # also consider "None"
        start_date=datetime(1970, 1, 1),
        params={
            "command": Param("upgrade"),
            "revision": Param("head")
        }
) as dag:
    AlembicOperator(
        task_id="alembic_op",
        conn_id="sqlite",
        command="{{ params.command }}",
        revision="{{ params.revision }}",
        script_location="/usr/local/airflow/dags/migrations",
    )

Extra Capabilities

• You can utilize any of the Alembic commands in the AlembicOperator - such as downgrade
• The AlembicHook has methods to run any alembic commands
