The Atlas Newsletter (Ariga) - Issue #1
Hi Everyone!
Thanks a lot for signing up for our newsletter. Some of you signed up a long-long time ago, so we hope this first issue was worth the wait :-)
Our team has been busy building the new way to manage database schemas, including some fresh takes on this problem:
A declarative API for managing database schemas (like Terraform for Databases)
Linting for schema changes - detect issues in schema changes during dev or CI, way before you break your database in production.
CI for schema changes - with our new GitHub Action.
.. and much more!
In addition, we are gradually building the Guides of our website that we aim to become a comprehensive and deep guide to database schema management in general.
If you haven’t already, we invite you to join our community on our Discord server where you can get help and information about Atlas (it’s free and no installation is required).
All the best,
Ariel and Rotem

Guide: Partial Indexes in PostgreSQL
Did you know you can create a partial index on a table in PostgreSQL?
With partial indexes, you provide a WHERE predicate at index creation, which causes the database to index only the rows that satisfy the predicate.
When should you use them? Our guide on this topic explains.
The Atlas Migration Execution Engine
We released the first version of the Atlas migration execution engine, that can apply migration files to your database. In this post, we will give a brief overview of the features and what to expect in the future.

DevOps brought us Infrastructure as Code, but what about managing your database as code?
