SQL Schema Migrations

A tracked _migrations system using numbered SQL files, applied consistently across local (via SSH tunnel) and the production VPS. Currently active, with 14+ migrations covering everything from the initial schema to visitor analytics.

Strongest signal

14+ numbered migrations (0001–0014+) in alex-cms, evolving the CMS database safely over time — not a toy setup, but a working discipline applied to a live system.

What this tells you

Alex treats schema changes as versioned artifacts rather than ad-hoc edits. The same migration files run locally and in production, which reduces environment drift and makes changes auditable.
