Alembic vs golang-migrate

Alembic has no write-up on Specifiction yet; its figures are above.

golang-migrate reads database migrations from a source and applies them to a database in sequence. Each logical migration has an up file and a down file, and the tool can run as a command-line program or be imported as a Go library. Listed database drivers include PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB, SQLite, MongoDB, Neo4j, CockroachDB, and Google Cloud Spanner. Migration sources include local files, embedded Go data, GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, AWS S3, and Google Cloud Storage. The CLI handles Ctrl+C gracefully and does not use config search paths, config files, or automatic environment-variable injection. The library uses io.Reader streams for low memory overhead, is described as thread-safe without goroutine leaks, and supports controlled stopping through a GracefulStop channel to help prevent database corruption. The project documents running the CLI in Docker with a mounted migration directory. golang-migrate is open source under the MIT License and costs nothing. The security policy marks master and 4.x as supported; 3.x and earlier are unsupported.
