About Liquibase
Liquibase manages database schema changes as tracked changesets, so changes can be versioned and deployed through CI/CD pipelines alongside application code. It supports more than 65 databases.
The company now promotes Liquibase Secure, a paid edition that adds governance, security and audit features for regulated organisations. The core tool remains available for developers who want scripted, repeatable schema deployments.
