history

Project history and usage

Reshape is a PostgreSQL schema migration tool designed to let old and new application deployments operate concurrently during a rollout.

Project history

Fabian Lindfors created Reshape as an open-source PostgreSQL migration tool focused on avoiding application downtime and excessive database locking.

The project developed a three-phase migration model: prepare compatible old and new schema views, deploy the application gradually, then complete or abort the migration.

Adoption history

Reshape is distributed through Homebrew and Nix according to source_facts.package-manager. The official project also publishes release binaries, a Cargo package, and a Docker image.

Official GitHub project metadata reports substantial community interest, while helper libraries are documented for Rust, Ruby/Rails, Python/Django, and Go application integration.

How it is used

Migration files are stored by default under `migrations/` in TOML or JSON format. Operators run `reshape migration start`, roll out the new application, and then run `reshape migration complete`; failed deployments can be rolled back with `reshape migration abort`.

Database connection settings can be supplied through flags, `DB_*` environment variables, or a `.env` file automatically loaded from the working directory.

Why package nerds care

Reshape addresses a difficult deployment problem: changing a live PostgreSQL schema while old and new application versions overlap. Its declarative TOML/JSON migrations and staged start/complete/abort lifecycle make that technique available as a standalone package.

Its use of views and triggers is operationally distinctive compared with traditional migration runners that apply schema changes in a single deployment step.

Timeline

  • Initial project: Published by Fabian Lindfors as a Rust-based PostgreSQL migration utility.
  • Later development: Added helper libraries, Docker and binary distribution, built-in agent-oriented documentation, and machine-readable status output.

Related projects

  • The project provides integration helpers for Rust, Ruby and Rails, Python and Django, and Go applications.

  • No Homebrew post-install hook is recorded in formula metadata.
  • Homebrew bottle metadata is available for 6 platform targets.
  • Build metadata lists 2 build dependencies.

Recommended review

Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.
