It should come as no surprise that we love open source here at Rebus FM – after all, we are building our business around Rebus, which has always had pure open source pumping through its arteries.
We are doing other things too, which we plan to release on the rebus-org organization on GitHub.
If you are working with either Microsoft SQL Server or the excellent PostgreSQL in .NET, you might want to check out our latest addition to the org: Migr8.
Migr8 is a sweet database migration tool that allows for having migrations written as short and sweet scripts, either in C# code or as text files.
It is pretty unique because it supports parallel development of migrations, and thus is the perfect companion if you are working with a git-flow-like workflow where multiple branches are being developed at the same time.
Moreover, Migr8 has now been extended to support PostgreSQL – so, depending on which database you want to use, you can either
Install-Package Migr8 -ProjectName YourProject
or
Install-Package Migr8.Npgsql -ProjectName YourProject
and then start migrating that database.
