When to Use GitOps
- Colocate database and application changes. Your database schema lives in the same repository and goes through the same CI/CD pipeline as your application code.
- Consistent multi-environment deployment. A single merge fans out changes to all target databases — test, staging, production — with the same rollout and approval controls.
- Faster iteration. Developers use the same pull request workflow for both application and database changes — no context switching, no separate approval process.
- AI agent friendly. SQL files in Git are easy for AI coding agents to read, modify, and submit as pull requests.
