Flyway's JSON output provides a lot of useful information about the migrations files, database, and version changes, in a format that automated processes can read and use. This article demonstrates how we can crate a Flyway callback that uses this JSON output to automatically send simple, human-readable notifications of what happened during a migration, helping developers stay informed about version changes that could impact their work.

In this video Tony and Tonie discuss the quick way to verify whether a Flyway validation error is a real cause for concern, due to retrospective metadata changes, or just the result of a developer valiantly adding formatting and documentation to improve the code. If the latter, developers can safely run Flyway repair to resume normal migrations.
