My advice to others looking into using Redgate Flyway is to keep track of the versioning because it is very important in Redgate Flyway. After that, you are all set. As a software engineer who is using Redgate Flyway, I can conclude that it is a really good tool. I gave this review a rating of nine out of ten.
There is nothing specific to add regarding needed improvements. The advice I would give to others looking into using Redgate Flyway is to integrate it properly through pipelines and manage it properly. If you are using Redgate Flyway, you must not update any objects or scripts manually so that you can achieve 100% of what Redgate Flyway can provide. Regarding additional thoughts about Redgate Flyway before we conclude, I cannot think of anything right now. Everything is working well currently. I would rate Redgate Flyway overall as an eight on a scale of one to ten. The reason I chose an eight rating is that Redgate Flyway is providing tremendous support and helping in different scenarios, but there could be some improvements. For example, if we want to attach it through code pipelines or connect it with our code, something could be added. Currently, we are using Dapper, but if we go to Entity Framework Core, there could be some connection. We have a connection with our entire system including the front-end, the back-end, the repository, and the AWS infrastructure, but Redgate Flyway seems to be an isolated system in itself. It is not connected with anything else and is just for the database. If it could connect with other tools as well, that would be beneficial. However, this is just my opinion and I cannot comment on the science behind it. Regarding Redgate Flyway's security and governance, they are normal. We have other tools and applications that are enterprise-grade providing general security and governance. I cannot say that it is highly secure, but the features are good. The security aspect, where we have to log in through our SSO and corporate emails, is quite better. It is similar to other tools we are using, such as GitHub and AWS. The intelligence of Redgate Flyway is quite better, but there is nothing such as bots working for me. I would not say that this is great in AI or artificial intelligence.

My advice to others looking into using Redgate Flyway is to focus on database migrations for Java-based solutions. It has one of the best integrations with Java as it is a database migration tool. You can do it with the community edition, which has no pricing involved, and it works flawlessly with Maven and Gradle. It is not an expensive tool to use the next level of features, and it is worth the money. I would recommend reaching that edition level, as the object mapping feature becomes really handy. I would not recommend Redgate Flyway for any Microsoft-based solutions or .NET, as it is not compatible at all based on my experience. This tool is only worthwhile with Java applications. I would rate this product a nine out of ten.
