Testing PostgreSQL Schemas with pgTAP and Atlas

Testing your database schema shouldn't be an afterthought. Automating checks on your objects, constraints, and functions is critical to catching breaking changes before they hit production.

Enter pgTAP—which relies on traditional runtime assertions in an ephemeral database—and Atlas—which leverages a modern, declarative approach. This post breaks down how both tools handle schema testing and explains when you should swap out heavy runtime assertions for Atlas's lightweight lint rules.

MySQL 8.0 End of Life: Plan Your Move Before Support Runs Out

As of April 2026, MySQL 8.0 has reached End of Life (EOL), marking a critical security and operational milestone. When a database reaches EOL, the safety net is pulled away. Oracle will no longer release security patches, bug fixes, or performance improvements for the community edition. If a vulnerability is discovered tomorrow, your 8.0 instances will remain exposed.

In this post, we’ll explore what this means and how cloud platforms are responding to it.

Policy as Code for Database Migrations

As AI agents become staples in modern development workflows, automating everything from code reviews to complex schema migrations, the industry is hitting a critical inflection point. While the productivity gains are undeniable, the risks have become equally prominent. We are now seeing a recurring cycle of horror stories where unchecked agents inadvertently wipe production databases or trigger catastrophic outages.

The momentum of AI integration isn't slowing down, but the margin for error has vanished. To keep pace without compromising integrity, engineering teams must move beyond blind trust and implement robust safeguards to defend their infrastructure against "rogue" AI behavior.

To truly neutralize the risk of rogue AI, teams must pivot to Policy as Code. By codifying your governance directly into CI/CD pipelines, you shift from hoping for compliance to guaranteeing it, ensuring that every schema change is programmatically validated before it ever touches production.

Hey everyone!

We're excited to announce Atlas v1.2. This release brings column-level data lineage to Atlas Cloud, registry backups to your own cloud storage, a schema ownership policy for CI, and expanded database coverage.

Here is what you can find in this release:

  • Column-Level Data Lineage - Trace how columns are derived from upstream sources across tables, views, and datasets in Atlas Cloud.
  • Offline Access & Registry Backups - Back up Atlas Registry repositories to S3, GCS, or Azure Blob Storage. Atlas Pro license grants are cached in CI/CD environments, so your pipeline never has a single point of failure.
  • Schema Ownership Policy - Enforce which GitHub users and teams can modify specific schema objects, closing the gap between CODEOWNERS and DDL access control.
  • Database Driver Improvements - PostgreSQL routine permissions, user-mapping, and default ACLs; Snowflake tasks and pipes; Oracle UDTs; Expanded permissions for MSSQL, MySQL, and ClickHouse.

We're excited to announce Atlas v1.0 - just in time for the holidays! 🎄

v1.0 is a milestone release. Atlas has been production-ready for a few years now, running at some of the top companies in the industry, and reaching 1.0 is our commitment to long-term stability and compatibility. It reflects what Atlas has become: a schema management product built for real production use that both platform engineers and developers love.

Here's what's in this release:

  • Monitoring as Code - Configure Atlas monitoring with HCL, including RDS discovery and cross-account support.
  • Schema Statistics - Size breakdowns, largest tables/indexes, fastest-growing objects, and growth trends over time.
  • Declarative Migrations UI - A new dashboard for databases, migrations, deployments, and status visibility.
  • Database Drivers - Databricks, Snowflake, and Oracle graduate from beta to stable; plus improvements across Postgres, MySQL, Spanner, Redshift, and ClickHouse.
  • Deployment Rollout Strategies - Staged rollouts (canaries, parallelism, and error handling) for multi-tenant and fleet deployments.
  • Deployment Traces - End-to-end traceability for how changes move through environments.
  • Multi-Config Files - Layer config files with -c file://base.hcl,file://app.hcl.

Hi everyone!

We're excited to share with you the release of Atlas v0.38, filled with many new features and enhancements for you to try.

  • Oracle Triggers and Views - We've expanded the support for Oracle schemas to include triggers and views.
  • Snowflake Additions - Our library of supported resources for Snowflake has also expanded with the additions of stages, external tables, hybrid tables, and dynamic tables.
  • Google Spanner Additions - Spanner users can now manage geo-partitioning placements, locality groups, sequences, and change streams with Atlas.
  • Expanded Analyzer Detection - Our linting analyzers now detect SQL injections in SQL schema and migration files, and incorrect usage of transactions in migration files.
  • HTTP Data Source - Users can now use HTTP endpoints as data sources in the Atlas configuration file.
  • PII Detection - Objects containing potentially sensitive or PII data can now be automatically or manually tagged in the Atlas Registry.
  • Pre/Post-migration Hooks - Pre- and post-migration hooks enable teams to run custom logic before and after applying migrations.
  • Atlas Monitoring - The Atlas Agent can now automatically discover and monitor RDS instances across multiple AWS accounts using IAM role assumption.
  • Azure DevOps Repos CI/CD Integration - Atlas now provides native integration with Azure DevOps Pipelines and Azure Repos, including a dedicated Azure DevOps extension for seamless database schema CI/CD workflows.
