Ship Fast Without Breaking Things
Drift treats your database schema as code. Version changes in Git, generate conflict-free migrations, and catch breaking changes before they reach production.
Schema Changes Are the Highest-Risk Part of Deployments
Traditional migration tools rely on sequential numbering and ORM lock-in. Teams face merge conflicts, breaking changes slip through, and rollbacks fail when they're needed most.
Migration Conflicts
Sequential numbering creates merge conflicts when multiple developers create migrations simultaneously. Resolving conflicts is manual and error-prone.
Breaking Changes
Dropping columns or changing types can break production. Most tools don't catch these issues until it's too late.
Failed Rollbacks
When deployments fail, rollback scripts often don't work. Data loss and downtime follow.
Built for Modern Development Teams
Drift analyzes schema diffs and dependency graphs to generate conflict-free migration plans. Safety analysis catches breaking changes before production.
Schema Diffing
Automatically detect schema changes between your code and database. Drift analyzes tables, columns, indexes, constraints, and relationships to generate precise diffs.
Conflict-Free Migrations
No more sequential numbering. Drift uses content-addressable migrations that never conflict, even when multiple developers work in parallel.
Safety Analysis
Static analysis catches breaking changes before they reach production. Drift warns about dropped columns, type changes, and constraint violations.
Automatic Rollback
When deployments fail, Drift automatically rolls back schema changes. Tested rollback scripts ensure your database stays consistent.
CI/CD Integration
Native integration with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, and Jenkins. Run safety checks in pull requests and deploy migrations automatically.
Team Collaboration
Schema changes are versioned in Git alongside your code. Review migrations in pull requests, track history, and collaborate seamlessly.
Three Simple Steps
Drift integrates seamlessly into your existing workflow. No ORM lock-in, no complex configuration.
Define Your Schema
Write your schema in SQL or use your ORM's schema definition. Drift works with your existing tools and doesn't require a new DSL.
Generate Migrations
Run drift diff to detect changes and drift generate to create migrations. Drift analyzes dependencies and generates safe migration plans.
Deploy with Confidence
Safety checks run automatically in CI. Deploy migrations with drift apply and rollback automatically if anything goes wrong.

-- Define your schema in plain SQL
CREATE TABLE users (
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
email VARCHAR(255) UNIQUE NOT NULL,
created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT NOW()
);
-- Add a new table
CREATE TABLE user_profiles (
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
user_id INTEGER REFERENCES users(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
display_name VARCHAR(100),
bio TEXT,
avatar_url VARCHAR(500)

Trusted by Development Teams
See what engineers are saying about Drift.
Drift eliminated our migration conflicts completely. We went from weekly merge nightmares to seamless parallel development.
The safety analysis caught a breaking change that would have taken down production. Drift paid for itself in the first week.
Finally, a migration tool that treats schema as code properly. Git integration is seamless and the CLI is a joy to use.
