> db engineers approve the generated migration script

yeah - this is definitely the intended flow here. We won't be recommending anyone blindly applying generated migrations.

As you mention, it is expected that you generate & review on your local development machine, check into source control, push & merge. We've also been using this internally for ~2 years now and it works great

Do you keep the history of applied migrations? (Just in case subtle issue need to be investigated later)

  • yeah, migrations are generated from the Declarative files. For example, the steps are for adding a new column:

    1/ Add a new column to the declarative file

    2/ Generate a new migration: `supabase db diff -f my_new_migration`

    3/ Review/edit the generated migration, check it into git

    4/ Apply migration to database
