Would you want your DBA to build your app just from the designed database without you being involved? Then why do you keep thinking that using Entity Framework Core Migrations is good? If you are going to use EF Core Migrations, then at least do it right and have it create a robust, optimized database! This talk will get you started understanding the power of Migrations beyond the simple demos you have seen. There will be code examples and a GitHub repository with a .NET/C# solution and projects that will accompany the talk.
