Bytebase

Bytebase gives teams a centralized place to manage database schema changes across multiple environments. It works like a code review system but for your database, letting you propose, review, and deploy schema migrations with approval gates. You can connect it to MySQL, PostgreSQL, Snowflake, and several other engines, and it tracks every change in a Git-style history.

The tool integrates directly with GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket, so schema changes can be triggered from pull requests. It also supports SQL review policies to catch risky patterns before they hit production. Bytebase runs as a self-hosted service on Linux or via Docker, and it offers a cloud-hosted option as well. The company behind it, Bytebase Inc., started the project in 2021.

It is especially useful for platform engineering and SRE teams that want to bring database operations into their existing CI/CD pipelines. The core features are free with a community edition, while team and enterprise tiers add SSO, audit logging, and advanced approval workflows. Bytebase has been adopted by companies like GitLab and Nhost for managing database changes at scale.
