Developers love EF Core for its speed and automation. DBAs fear it for the exact same reason. Automatic migrations can bypass crucial checks, leading to friction, surprises—and the confidence of the database team begins to slip.
Database professionals want transparency and control. They need to review changes before they hit production. But .NET teams often already work with EF Core code-first, and redoing everything in SQL isn’t realistic.
What if you didn’t have to choose?
In this session, you’ll learn how to convert EF Core migrations into Flyway-compatible scripts—giving developers the flexibility they love, and DBAs the control they need.
We’ll walk through real-world examples and automation using PowerShell and YAML—and the recipe for getting devs and DBAs on the same page.

This Level 300 is for attendees with hands-on experience in EF Core and/or database deployments. Assumes familiarity with code-first approaches and general database release pipelines.
