What's Emigrate?

Emigrate is written in TypeScript and is a migration tool for any database or data.

• It’s database agnostic - you can use it with any database, or even with non-database data.
• It can be run on multiple platforms - currently NodeJS, Bun and Deno is supported, but more platforms is planned.
• It’s the successor of klei-migrate and is designed to be compatible with Immigration and many of its storage plugins, as well as Migrate.
• It supports migration files written using CommonJS or ES Modules out of the box, with any of the following extensions: .js, .cjs or .mjs, and supports async functions, Promises or using the NodeJS Callback Pattern.
• Other languages can be used by using a Loader Plugin.
• The migration history can be stored anywhere using a Storage Plugin.
• The output can be customized using Reporters.

Did you know?

Thanks to the plugin system you can even write migrations in plain SQL! So no need for Java-based tools like Liquibase or Flyway.
