Does it support both SQL and NoSQL databases?

While the examples often use SQL, the logic for data transformation, versioning, and migration planning is applicable to all major database paradigms.

What happens if a migration fails?

The skill includes the generation of explicit rollback procedures and recovery strategies to restore system state without data loss.

How does this skill ensure data safety during migrations?

The skill utilizes a multi-step process including dual-writing to both old and new schemas, historical backfilling, and rigorous validation before deprecating old structures.

Can this skill handle zero-downtime deployments?

Yes, it specifically focuses on 'expand and contract' patterns that allow applications to remain online while the underlying data structure changes.
