One Tool. Every Database. Every Environment.
Acuative deploys and manages Redgate Flyway so your teams can automate schema changes across SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Oracle, MySQL, and more. Whether you run on-premises, in the cloud, or across both. Every migration is tracked, versioned, and applied consistently. No more 'it worked in dev.' No more failed Friday deployments.
Why Automate Database Deployments?
Release faster — without the risk
Manual database deployments are the last bottleneck in your DevOps pipeline. Acuative integrates Flyway directly into your CI/CD workflow so your database changes move in lockstep with your application code. Automated scripts, built-in validation, and a complete change history mean your teams spend less time scripting and more time shipping.
Know exactly what changed and when
Every schema migration is versioned, checksummed, and recorded automatically. Acuative configures Flyway to give your organisation a complete, tamper-evident audit trail from the very first change to the most recent hotfix. Whether you need it for a compliance review, a regulator, or a 3am incident call, the answer is always there.
Roll back with confidence
Something went wrong in production? Flyway generates rollback scripts automatically alongside every migration. Acuative configures your pipeline so that recovery is a single command not an all-hands crisis. Your teams move fast because there's always a safe path back.
Scale without adding complexity
As your database estate grows — more servers, more teams, more environments — Flyway scales with it. Acuative manages the configuration across every environment and every database platform, so your deployment process stays consistent no matter how complex your infrastructure becomes.
What Can You Achieve
Version-Controlled Schema Migrations
Every database change lives in source control just like your application code. Flyway tracks which migrations have been applied to each environment and applies only what is missing, in the right order, every time.
- Migrations versioned, ordered, and checksummed automatically
- Complete schema history table maintained in every target database
- Support for existing databases — brought under version control without disruption
- Repeatable migrations for views, stored procedures, and functions
Automated Deployment Pipelines
Acuative integrates Flyway into your Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, GitLab, or Jenkins pipeline. Your database deployments run automatically at the right stage of every release — no manual handoffs, no DBA on call to press go.
- Native integration with all major CI/CD platforms
- Database and application deployments in a single, unified pipeline
- Dry-run preview: validate exactly what will apply before it touches production
- Automated pipeline halt and alert on migration failure
Rollback & Recovery
Every migration ships with a paired rollback script. If a deployment needs to be reversed at any stage, recovery is immediate, controlled, and requires no manual intervention from your DBA team.
- Undo scripts generated automatically alongside every migration
- Single-command rollback from any environment
- Repair command to resolve failed states without data loss
- Automated test environment reset between pipeline runs
Multi-Platform, Multi-Environment Support
One tool across SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Oracle, MySQL, MariaDB, and more. On-premises servers, cloud databases, and hybrid environments — all managed through the same pipeline, the same process, the same visibility.
- SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Snowflake, and more
- On-premises, Azure, AWS, Oracle Cloud, and hybrid environments
- Environment-specific configuration with secure credential management
- Docker container support for cloud-native and containerised pipelines
Full Change audit trail
Full Change Audit Trail Flyway's schema history table records every migration applied to every database — what changed, when, and whether it succeeded. Acuative configures this to feed directly into your compliance and change management reporting.
- Tamper-evident checksums detect unauthorised changes to applied scripts
- Execution timestamps, version numbers, and success status per migration
- Exportable history for compliance reporting and regulatory review
- Complete before-and-after visibility for every environment
How Acuative Implement & Supports Flyway
Assessment
We audit your current deployment process, CI/CD toolchain, and database estate to design the right Flyway architecture. We document your migration baseline and identify any undocumented changes already in production.
Implementation
We deploy and configure Flyway across your environments — integrated into your pipeline, with environment-specific connection management, credential security, and failure alerting configured from day one.
Team Enablement
We train your development, DBA, and DevOps teams on migration authoring standards, versioning conventions, rollback procedures, and pipeline operations so your team owns the solution confidently.
Managed Support
Ongoing management of your deployment pipeline — Flyway upgrades, new environment onboarding, pipeline health monitoring, and configuration changes as your database estate evolves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this work with our existing CI/CD platform?
Flyway integrates natively with Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, TeamCity, and more. Acuative handles the integration design as part of the implementation — you don't need to change your existing pipeline.
What databases are supported?
SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Oracle, MySQL, MariaDB, Snowflake, IBM DB2, SAP HANA, and more. If your database runs SQL, Flyway almost certainly supports it — and Acuative has experience deploying it across all of them.
We already have production databases. Can we still adopt this?
Yes. Acuative uses Flyway's baseline capability to bring existing databases under version control without modifying or disrupting your live systems. We handle the transition as part of the implementation.
What happens if a deployment fails mid-way?
Flyway halts immediately if a migration fails, preventing partial deployments from reaching production. With undo scripts configured by Acuative, rollback is a single command — not a crisis.
Is this suitable for regulated industries?
Absolutely. The complete, versioned audit trail Flyway maintains is particularly valuable for finance, government, healthcare, and logistics organisations with strict change management requirements including NCA, SAMA, and PDPL.
