New in Flyway: Pre and post deployment scripts for state-based deployments via callbacks

Flyway provides a lot of flexibility for releasing database changes in a safe and repeatable manner. Earlier this year, we added the ability to automate state-based deployments. This means the structure of the database is defined in version control and Flyway handles updating a target database to match it. The Flyway comparison engine does all the hard work of identifying what’s different and creating a script that will run on the target database to alter it so it matches the latest state.

Audit log streaming for real-time security visibility in your CI/CD pipeline

Security and compliance teams face a critical challenge: by the time they discover suspicious activity in their development pipeline, it’s often too late to prevent damage. Manual audit log requests create bottlenecks that delay incident response, and gaps in visibility leave organizations vulnerable to insider threats and compliance violations. If your team struggles with any of these issues, you need a systematic approach to real-time audit monitoring.
