Liquibase

Automates database schema changes and CI/CD

Overview

Liquibase provides database CI/CD automation to manage and apply schema changes as part of software delivery. Teams write versioned change sets that describe how the database should evolve and run migrations automatically in CI/CD pipelines to keep databases in sync with application code; Liquibase Hub adds monitoring and analytics. It differs from competitors by offering a spectrum of open-source and enterprise tiers with built-in change tracking, governance, and observability for both small teams and large enterprises. Its goal is to speed up development, improve collaboration between developers and database engineers, and ensure database changes are compliant and auditable while enabling database-driven innovation.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Liquibase Secure 5.2 shipped June 2026, adding Agent Safe Governance and VEX.
  • The March 2026 report found 96.5% of organizations already expose production databases to AI.
  • New partner ecosystem hires and Databricks, MongoDB, Snowflake coverage expand enterprise sales reach.

What critics are saying

  • Fall 2026 Change Intelligence delays would weaken Liquibase's promised AI-governance moat.

What makes Liquibase unique

  • Liquibase spans 65+ databases and governs schema, control-plane, and AI-generated changes.

Liquibase expands partner ecosystem as AI exposes database delivery gap

Liquibase, a database change governance platform, has expanded its global partner ecosystem and appointed Phil Robinson as Vice President of Global Channels and Alliances. The company, trusted by 20 Fortune 100 companies with over 100 million downloads, aims to help enterprises address the database delivery gap exposed by AI adoption. According to Liquibase's 2026 State of Database Change Governance Report, 96% of organisations now have AI interacting with production databases, and 70% ship database changes weekly or faster. However, only 28% enforce governance through automated controls. Robinson brings over 20 years of experience, most recently from Digital.ai and Atlassian. He will lead partner recruitment, enablement, and joint marketing efforts to build services around Liquibase Secure, which automates and governs database changes across over 65 database platforms.

Liquibase Secure 5.1 brings modeled change control to Snowflake, closing data platform security gap

Liquibase has released Liquibase Secure 5.1, extending modeled change control to Snowflake's control plane. The update allows enterprises to govern Snowflake configuration changes with the same rigour applied to schema evolution, addressing gaps in data platform security and compliance. The platform treats Snowflake control plane changes as modeled change types rather than scripts, enabling precise policy enforcement, drift detection and audit-ready evidence. Features include stopping risky changes before production, standardising change delivery across environments and automatically generating audit documentation. Liquibase Secure 5.1 also expands database platform coverage to over 60 systems, adding support for Couchbase, AWS Keyspaces, DataStax Enterprise and AlloyDB for Google Cloud. The release is available now at liquibase.com.

Liquibase sees new ARR jump 85% as database change governance gains traction

Liquibase, the database change governance leader, reported strong fiscal year 2025 momentum with new annual recurring revenue increasing more than 85% year-over-year. The Austin-based company's community platform surpassed 15 million downloads during the year. The company launched Liquibase Secure and Liquibase 5.0 in FY25, with Liquibase Secure winning the 2025 DevOps Dozen Award for Best DevOps for DataOps and Database Solution. Liquibase also expanded platform partnerships with Databricks and MongoDB to bring governed database change to modern data platforms and AI-driven applications. Chief executive Patti Soch said database change governance becomes mandatory as AI increases the cost of bad data and breaking schema changes. The company's Policy Checks enforce policies before changes reach production, whilst Reports generate audit-ready evidence of deployments.
