Announcing v0.18: Drift Detection, SQLAlchemy Support, Composite Schemas and More
· 6 min read
Hi everyone,
Thanks for joining us today for another release announcement! We have a bunch of really exciting features to share with you today, so let's get started! Here's what we'll cover:
- Drift Detection - A common source of database trouble is that the schema in your database doesn't match the schema in your code. This can happen for a variety of reasons, including manual changes to the database, or changes made by other tools. Today, we are happy to announce the availability of a new feature that lets you automatically detect these changes, and alerts you when they happen.
- SQLAlchemy Support - SQLAlchemy is a popular Python ORM. Developers using SQLAlchemy can use Atlas to automatically plan schema migrations for them, based on the desired state of their schema instead of crafting them by hand.
- VSCode ERDs - We've added a new feature to our VSCode extension that lets you visualize your database schema as an ERD diagram.
- Composite Schemas - The newly added
composite_schemadata source lets you combine multiple schemas into one, which is useful for managing schemas that are loaded from multiple sources or to describe applications that span multiple database schemas.
