FAQPage Schema
How do I set up PostgreSQL with Flyway migrations in a Spring Boot project?▼

This skill configures PostgreSQL and Flyway in a Spring Boot project by generating a docker-compose.yml for a local database, adding an initial V1__init.sql migration, and wiring Flyway to run migrations automatically on application startup.

What's the best way to add Docker Compose and PostgreSQL to an existing Spring Boot scaffold?▼

Applying this skill updates an existing Spring Boot scaffold with a docker-compose.yml for a portable PostgreSQL dev database, wires Flyway for automated migrations, and provides Git commit steps to finalize the setup.

Does Flyway work with Docker Compose for Spring Boot local development?▼

Yes, Flyway works with Docker Compose for Spring Boot local development by automatically applying database migrations when the application starts, connecting directly to the Dockerized PostgreSQL instance configured in docker-compose.yml.

When do I need Flyway and PostgreSQL for a Spring Boot application?▼

You need Flyway and PostgreSQL when starting a new Spring Boot project or upgrading an existing scaffold to include a portable local dev database with version-controlled schema migrations applied automatically on application startup.

Can I use this database setup skill on an existing Spring Boot project?▼

Yes, you can use this skill on an existing Spring Boot project; it updates project configuration as needed to integrate Docker Compose, PostgreSQL, and Flyway without requiring a completely new scaffold.
