Confiture 🍓

PostgreSQL migrations, sweetly done.

Build from DDL. Adopt on day one against a database that already has migrations applied. Preflight every deploy against a parallel database with structural diff. Sync production data with PII anonymization.

In 30 seconds

# 1. You already have a database at migration 004 (applied by hand or by another tool).
#    Tell Confiture about that history without re-running the SQL:
$ confiture migrate baseline --through 004 -c db/environments/production.yaml
  ✅ 001 create_users (marked as applied)
  ✅ 002 create_orders (marked as applied)
  ✅ 003 add_user_email (marked as applied)
  ✅ 004 add_user_preferences (marked as applied)
✅ Marked 4 migration(s) as applied, skipped 0 already applied

# 2. Machine-readable proof that the tracking is healthy:
$ confiture migrate status -c db/environments/production.yaml --format json | jq '.applied | length'
4

# 3. Preflight: replay pending migrations on a parallel DB, emit a structural diff vs. db/schema/.
$ confiture migrate preflight --against "$PREFLIGHT_URL" -c db/environments/production.yaml
▸ Replaying pending migrations on preflight DB …
  ✓ 20260520143015_add_user_bio                 applied in 24 ms
▸ Comparing resulting schema vs. db/schema/ …
  ✓ No drift — preflight matches db/schema/
✓ Preflight passed. Safe to deploy.
exit 0

That's the loop. Baseline once → status to confirm → preflight every deploy.


Already have migrations?

The single biggest reason migration tools fail adoption is the day-one cliff: existing tables already exist, so any tool that tries to apply migrations from scratch crashes on the first CREATE TABLE. Confiture's answer is migrate baseline:

confiture migrate baseline --through <last-applied-version>

The walkthrough — including failure modes, the integration test that backs the recipe, and what tb_confiture ends up looking like — is in docs/guides/legacy-bootstrap.md.


No db/schema/ directory? That works too.

confiture migrate up, down, down-to, status, current, baseline, and preflight are the migration runner — they don't require a db/schema/ directory (migrate current prints the latest applied revision as a narrow "what's deployed?" contract; migrate down --steps N rolls back relatively while migrate down-to <revision> rolls back to a specific revision, refusing atomically if any required .down.sql is missing). The "Build from DDL" pitch above the fold sells one of confiture's four strategies; the other three (incremental migrations, production sync, schema-to-schema FDW migration) work against a project whose only source of truth is the migration chain itself.

If you're evaluating confiture against Flyway / Alembic / dbmate / sqlx-cli as a pure migration runner, skip confiture build and use everything else. Walkthrough: docs/guides/02-incremental-migrations.md.


When to use Confiture?

Capability Confiture Flyway Alembic dbmate sqlx-cli plain psql
Source of truth DDL files or migration chain migration chain model classes migration chain migration chain DDL files
Tracking table yes yes yes yes yes no
Rollback (down.sql) yes paid yes yes yes no
Preflight against a copy DB yes (structural diff) no no no no no
Build from scratch in <1s yes no no no no yes (manual)
Production sync + anonymization yes no no no no no
Zero-downtime via FDW yes no no no no no
Multi-agent coordination yes no no no no no
Ecosystem maturity / stars early very mature mature mature mature n/a

Note on "source of truth": confiture can run as a pure migration tool against a project that has no db/schema/ directory — the DDL workflow is opt-in. See No db/schema/ directory? above.

Confiture wins on build-from-DDL, structural-diff preflight, production sync, and multi-agent coordination. It loses on ecosystem age — Flyway and Alembic have a decade of community knowledge. Pick honestly.

Adoption checklist

Situation Recommended tool
1 environment + 1 contributor, schema rarely changes plain psql
2+ environments, schema changes weekly Confiture, Flyway, Alembic, or dbmate
Multi-agent / AI-driven development on shared schemas Confiture
You have a migration chain (no db/schema/) and want preflight + tracking Confiture (use everything except confiture build)
You want db/schema/ to be source of truth, not a migration chain Confiture
You need zero-downtime schema swaps with postgres_fdw Confiture (Medium 4)
You're committed to SQLAlchemy ORM Alembic
You're committed to a JVM stack Flyway

CI integration

A migrate preflight gate on every PR, a migrate up step on deploy. Exit codes are semantic, so the CI configuration stays simple:

# .github/workflows/db.yml
name: DB

on:
  pull_request:
    paths:
      - 'db/**'
  push:
    branches: [main]

jobs:
  preflight:
    if: github.event_name == 'pull_request'
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    services:
      postgres:
        image: postgres:16
        env: { POSTGRES_PASSWORD: x }
        ports: ['5432:5432']
        options: >-
          --health-cmd pg_isready --health-interval 10s
          --health-timeout 5s --health-retries 5
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: astral-sh/setup-uv@v3
      - run: uv pip install --system fraiseql-confiture
      - name: Restore production snapshot to preflight DB
        run: ./scripts/restore-snapshot.sh   # your own; pg_restore from S3/GCS
      - name: Confiture preflight
        env:
          PREFLIGHT_URL: postgresql://postgres:x@localhost:5432/preflight
        run: |
          confiture migrate preflight \
            --against "$PREFLIGHT_URL" \
            -c db/environments/preflight.yaml \
            --format json --output preflight.json
      - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
        with:
          name: preflight-report
          path: preflight.json

  deploy:
    if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    environment: production
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: astral-sh/setup-uv@v3
      - run: uv pip install --system fraiseql-confiture
      # No YAML needed in CI — the migrate family reads DATABASE_URL directly
      # (or pass --database-url "$DSN"). See the connection-source docs below.
      - run: confiture migrate up
        env:
          DATABASE_URL: ${{ secrets.PROD_DATABASE_URL }}

migrate up/down/status/verify/preflight accept --database-url <dsn> (or read CONFITURE_DATABASE_URL / DATABASE_URL) so runtime-resolved DSNs need no temp YAML — precedence and details in the CLI reference.

Exit codes are a documented stability contract — see the exit-code reference. The most operationally important: 2 tracking table absent, 3 DB connection failed, 5 config invalid, 6 lock contention. For migrate preflight's drift-gate codes specifically, see the dry-run guide.

Migrations that open their own SAVEPOINTs, use psycopg's conn.transaction(), or wrap DO $$ … EXCEPTION WHEN … $$ blocks are supported under all three modes. The rules a migration body must follow for the SAVEPOINT-based rollback to stay clean are documented in the transaction & SAVEPOINT contract.


Python project snippet

Add Confiture as a dev dependency. pglast (PostgreSQL's own parser) comes with it since 0.50.0.

# pyproject.toml
[dependency-groups]
dev = [
  "fraiseql-confiture>=0.50",
  "pytest>=8",
]
# justfile
default:
    just --list

db-build:
    confiture build --env local

db-up:
    confiture migrate up

db-status:
    confiture migrate status

db-preflight:
    confiture migrate preflight --against "$PREFLIGHT_URL"

Or as a Makefile:

db-build:
	confiture build --env local

db-up:
	confiture migrate up

db-status:
	confiture migrate status

Library API

Confiture is a CLI first, but the migrator is fully usable from Python:

from confiture import Migrator

with Migrator.from_config("db/environments/prod.yaml") as m:
    status = m.status()
    if status.has_pending:
        result = m.up()
        print(f"Applied {len(result.applied)} migrations")

The Four Strategies

Strategy Use Case Command
Build from DDL Fresh databases, testing, CI confiture build --env local
Incremental Migrations Existing databases, production confiture migrate up
Production Sync Copy data with PII anonymization confiture sync --from prod --anonymize users.email
Zero-Downtime Complex migrations via FDW confiture migrate schema-to-schema

Guides

Reference

For agents and tooling

  • JSON schemas are published for the --format json output of build, drift, introspect, lint, sync, validate-config, verify-checksums and, in the migrate family, migrate up, migrate down-to, migrate status, migrate current, migrate diff, migrate fix, migrate introspect, migrate preflight, migrate steps, migrate validate and migrate verify. They ship in the package (python/confiture/schemas/) and are mirrored under docs/reference/json-schemas/; a test asserts the mirror equals the packaged source (see docs/reference/json-schemas.md). The other commands' JSON payloads are stable but not schema-backed yet.
  • On an error path in --format json mode, the migrate family emits a structured error envelope on stdout — {"ok": false, "error": {code, message, severity, actionable, details, migration, file, line}} — and exits with the exit code for that error. The full code list and the envelope schema are in the error-code codebook.
  • confiture migrate validate --list-patterns --format json exposes the full idempotency-detection catalog (read-only, no DB / config / migrations directory needed).
  • Quiet-success ambiguities surface advisory hints in payload["hints"] (or on stderr in text mode) — exit codes are unaffected.
