Database migration safety checker that catches destructive operations before they hit production. Pre-commit hooks. Zero telemetry.
Destructive database operations slip through code review every day. By the time you notice, production is down and data is gone. MigrateSafe stops them at the source.
One command sets up MigrateSafe and hooks into your git workflow via Lefthook.
brew install lefthook && clawhub install migratesafe
Write your database migrations normally. MigrateSafe silently watches every staged migration file when you commit.
If a destructive operation is detected, the commit is blocked instantly with a risk score and clear remediation steps.
Catches DROP TABLE, DROP COLUMN, TRUNCATE, and other destructive operations across 15+ patterns before they reach production.
Validates that every migration has a corresponding rollback. Ensures your down migrations actually reverse the up migration.
Every migration gets a 0-100 risk score based on destructive potential, data loss risk, and dependency impact. Configurable thresholds.
Detects long-running locks from ALTER TABLE on large tables, missing CONCURRENTLY flags, and operations that will block reads or writes.
Works with Rails, Django, Laravel, Knex, Sequelize, Prisma, raw SQL, and more. 7+ frameworks supported out of the box.
Generate audit-ready reports for SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI compliance. Document every migration review with full risk analysis.
