Database migration patterns that ensure continuous service availability during schema changes.

| Tool choice | pgroll for automation | Handles dual-writes via triggers automatically | | Column Rename | Add new + copy + drop old | Direct RENAME blocks reads | | Constraint Timing | Add NOT VALID first, VALIDATE separately | NOT VALID is non-blocking | | Rollback Window | Keep old schema 24-72 hours | Allows safe rollback if issues |

| Backfill Batch Size | 1000-10000 rows per batch | Prevents lock escalation | | Index Strategy | CONCURRENTLY always | Standard CREATE INDEX locks table | | Verification | Check pgstatstatements | Ensure no queries use old columns |

使用擴展契約模式和在線架構更改，可以安全地更改數據庫架構，無需停機。在將架構更改部署到生產環境且不中斷服務時使用。 來源：yonatangross/orchestkit。
