Flyway empowers you to manage your migrations effectively, alleviating any concerns about your database's integrity. The process of releasing updates has never been simpler, as it employs plain SQL scripts that include placeholder substitutions without the need for proprietary formats or vendor lock-in.

Moreover, Flyway features filesystem and classpath scanning, enabling automatic detection of SQL and Java migrations. It is designed to be safe in clustered environments, allowing multiple machines to execute migrations simultaneously.
