east - Database Migration Tool

east is a Node.js database migration tool designed to manage schema changes across various database systems including MongoDB, SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Couchbase. Currently stable at version 2.0.3, it primarily focuses on providing a robust CLI for migration management but also offers programmatic access. Its core philosophy is to integrate with existing database drivers, allowing developers to use their familiar database-specific syntax within migration scripts rather than imposing a universal ORM or query builder. This tool supports Node.js versions 10.17.0 and higher, with specific adapter requirements potentially varying. It actively supports modern JavaScript features, including TypeScript for migration files and ECMAScript Modules (ESM) for configuration and migrations, making it adaptable to contemporary Node.js project setups. Releases appear to be driven by feature development and maintenance needs.
