Migration

What is migration?

Migration is a process in which we can add some data to the Database or design schema of DB setting indexes etc. These are scripts that run before starting the application. It can be also used for migrating one DB to another DB.

Where do we have to create Migrations?

Migrations are needed when an application needs some pre-loaded data for getting started. In Elevate services we need email templates, forms, and entities. This data is added to DB via migration which will be utilized by the frontend app. Migrations are created inside of the migration folder.
