Overview
Liquibase automates database changes as part of software delivery by letting teams write versioned change sets that describe how a database should evolve and applying those migrations in CI/CD pipelines. It works by integrating change sets into CI/CD workflows, applying migrations across databases, and exposing change history and analytics through Liquibase Hub. The product line includes open-source options plus Pro, Business, and Enterprise tiers, all with built-in change tracking, governance, and observability features to support compliance. The goal is to speed up development, improve collaboration between developers and database engineers, and ensure database changes are auditable and governance-friendly.
