How to Prevent a Deployment From Skipping a Required Data Migration

11/11/2026

A release can start new code before its schema migration runs if pipeline dependencies or migration tracking are incomplete.

Checks to make

Make migration execution an explicit release dependency, verify the expected schema version before serving traffic, and ensure retries are safe. Test interruption between migration and application rollout, and define recovery for partially applied changes.
