Bytebase
Open-source database DevOps and CI/CD control plane for schema changes.
About
Bytebase is an open-source database DevOps platform often described as the GitHub or GitLab for databases. It provides a web workspace where developers and DBAs manage the full lifecycle of schema changes: GitOps-style change requests with versioned SQL, peer review and approval stages, automated migration execution with rollback, and more than 200 SQL review rules.
Beyond migrations it covers data masking, fine-grained RBAC, audit logging, drift detection, and batch changes across multi-tenant databases, supporting Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Snowflake, and others. It ships as free self-hostable open source with paid Pro and Enterprise tiers, and its API-first design exposes every console action as documented REST and gRPC APIs.
