Hi guys, we still need to define:
1- The approval process for the submitted migration and the people responsible for it.
2- The contract phase period, if we're going to use one (problematic because I believe we don't have a limit for hibernation)

This pull request introduces a comprehensive system for validating and testing Alembic database migrations to ensure compliance with the Expand-Contract migration pattern. It adds automated GitHub Actions for migration validation on pull requests, provides a migration generator script for compliant migrations, and includes test scripts for both static validation and live database testing.

CI/CD Automation for Migration Validation:

  • Adds a new GitHub Actions workflow (.github/workflows/migration-validation.yml) that automatically validates any changed Alembic migration files in pull requests. The workflow:
    • Checks out the code and sets up Python.
    • Detects changed migration files, excluding test migrations.
    • Runs a migration validator and a phase sequence checker.
    • Posts a detailed validation report as a PR comment, including guidance and common issues.
    • Fails the workflow if violations are detected.

Migration Authoring Tools:

  • Introduces scripts/generate_migration.py, a script to generate Alembic migration templates that are compliant with the Expand-Contract pattern. The script provides templates for EXPAND, MIGRATE, and CONTRACT phases, with embedded instructions, checks, and best practices.

Migration Validation and Testing:

  • Adds scripts/test_validator.py, a test suite for the migration validator logic. It creates temporary migration files to test detection of correct and incorrect migration patterns, phase detection, and common mistakes, ensuring the validator logic works as intended.
  • Adds scripts/test_with_database.py, a script to test the application of migrations against a real SQLite database, verifying schema changes are applied correctly.

Walkthrough

A new comprehensive database migration guide is added at src/backend/base/langflow/alembic/DB-MIGRATION-GUIDE.MD, detailing the Expand-Contract pattern for zero-downtime migrations across multiple services with implementation guidelines and examples.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Database Migration Documentation
src/backend/base/langflow/alembic/DB-MIGRATION-GUIDE.MD
New guide covering Expand-Contract pattern principles, three-phase migration model, implementation guidelines for column operations, Python/SQL code samples, safety checks, rollback procedures, best practices, anti-patterns, migration sequences, and monitoring strategies.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 3 (Moderate) | ⏱️ ~20 minutes

  • Verify technical accuracy of the Expand-Contract pattern descriptions and timeline recommendations
  • Confirm code samples (Python and SQL) are syntactically correct and follow project conventions
  • Review completeness of safety checks and rollback procedures for real-world applicability
  • Assess clarity and organization for use as a reference guide by team members
  • Cross-check best practices against existing migration patterns in the codebase

Pre-merge checks and finishing touches

Important

Pre-merge checks failed

Please resolve all errors before merging. Addressing warnings is optional.

❌ Failed checks (4 inconclusive)
Check name Status Explanation Resolution
Test Coverage For New Implementations ❓ Inconclusive This PR adds only documentation (markdown guide) with no code implementations, new functionality, or exported entity changes; test coverage checks apply to code changes, not documentation. Clarify whether test coverage checks apply to documentation-only PRs, or confirm this PR appropriately requires no tests since it contains no code changes.
Test Quality And Coverage ❓ Inconclusive PR adds a Markdown documentation file (DB-MIGRATION-GUIDE.MD) without accompanying code implementations that would require test coverage. Clarify if this is purely documentation or if code changes exist that need testing. If code implementations are present, provide details for proper test evaluation.
Test File Naming And Structure ❓ Inconclusive PR only adds documentation (DB-MIGRATION-GUIDE.MD) with no test files added or modified. Verify if test files are required for this PR. If tests are needed, add them following project conventions: Python tests as test_*.py with pytest, TypeScript as *.test.ts with Playwright.
Excessive Mock Usage Warning ❓ Inconclusive This PR adds only documentation (DB-MIGRATION-GUIDE.MD) with no Python test files included, making the excessive mock usage check inapplicable. Verify whether this PR contains any Python test files. If only documentation was added, this check is not applicable to non-test files.

65-65: Minor documentation polish: Fix typo and clarify database compatibility.

Line 65 has a typo: "N days Contract cicle" should be "cycle". Additionally, the Mermaid diagram description (lines 56-60) references specific colors that may render differently across systems—consider removing precise color claims or noting they're approximate.

The SQL examples throughout (lines 113-117, 356-366, 469-494) use PostgreSQL-specific syntax (e.g., FILTER clause, INTERVAL function). Consider adding a compatibility note early in the guide to clarify the examples assume PostgreSQL, or adjust syntax for broader database compatibility.

Also applies to: 56-60

1-478: Comprehensive and well-structured database migration guide.

The documentation provides excellent guidance on the Expand-Contract pattern with clear principles, practical code examples, and safety considerations. The structure flows logically through each phase, includes concrete anti-patterns to avoid, and emphasizes N-1 version compatibility appropriately.

The code examples demonstrate solid understanding of Alembic patterns (idempotency checks, inspector usage, proper error handling) and the safety/monitoring sections provide valuable practices for production deployments.

~LGTM!
I think this looks good. I dont see any super obvious issues and it seems pretty self isolated so if someone isn't migrating anything the precommit hooks sound pass
