Different database development tasks

Multiple database systems

Unified process

Single tool

🪜

Want to formalize the database change process but don't know how?

Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) Standardize the database schema and data change process across different database systems, small or large tables and different tenants. SQL Review 100 lint rules to detect SQL anti-patterns and enforce consistent SQL style in the organization. GitOps Point-and-click GitHub and GitLab integration to enable GitOps workflow for changing database.

🔮

Want to control the data access but don't know how?

All-in-one SQL Editor Web-based IDE specifically for performing SQL specific tasks. Data Masking State-of-the-art column level masking engine to cover complex situations like subquery, CTE. Data Access Control Organization level policy to centralize the data access control.

🔒

Want to avoid data leakage, change outage and detect malicious behavior but don't know how?

Centralize Change, Query and Admin Tasks A single place to perform different tasks on different databases, thus enforce policy and monitor activity accordingly. RBAC Two-level RBAC model mapping to the organization wide privileges and application team privileges respectively. Anomaly Center and Audit Logging Capture all database anomalies, user actions and system events and present them in a holistic view.

👩‍💼

Want to enforce organization policy but don't know how?

Manage Database Resources A single place to manage environments, database instances, database users for application development, with optional Terraform integration. Policy Enforcement Enforce organization wide SQL Review policy, backup policy and data access policy. SQL Editor Admin mode CLI like experience without setting up bastion.

Bytebase is a Database CI/CD solution for the Developers and DBAs. It's the only database CI/CD project included by the CNCF Landscape. The Bytebase family consists of these tools:

• Bytebase Console: A web-based GUI for developers and DBAs to manage the database development lifecycle.
• Bytebase CLI (bb): The CLI to help developers integrate database changes into the existing CI/CD workflow.
• Bytebase GitHub App and SQL Review GitHub Action: The GitHub App and GitHub Action to detect SQL anti-patterns and enforce a consistent SQL style guide during Pull Request.
• Terraform Bytebase Provider: The Terraform provider enables team to manage Bytebase resources via Terraform. A typical setup involves teams using Terraform to provision database instances from Cloud vendors, followed by using Bytebase provider to prepare those instances ready for application use.

More details in Roles and Permissions Doc.

Bytebase employs RBAC (Role-Based-Access-Control) and provides two role sets at the workspace and project level:

• Workspace roles: Owner, DBA, Developer. The workspace role maps to the role in an engineering organization.
• Project roles: Owner, Developer. The project level role maps to the role in a specific team or project.

Every user is assigned a workspace role, and if a particular user is involved in a particular project, then she will also be assigned a project role accordingly.

Below diagram describes a typical mapping between an engineering org and the corresponding roles in the Bytebase workspace

• Bytebase is built with a curated tech stack. It is optimized for developer experience and is very easy to start working on the code:

  1. It has no external dependency.
  2. It requires zero config.
  3. 1 command to start backend and 1 command to start frontend, both with live reload support.

• Interactive code walkthrough

  • Life of a schema change
  • SQL Review

• Follow Life of a Feature.

• Go (1.21.0 or later)
• pnpm
• Air (our forked repo @87187cc with the proper signal handling). This is for backend live reload.

  go install github.com/bytebase/air@87187cc

1. Pull source.

   git clone https://github.com/bytebase/bytebase

2. Create an external Postgres database on localhost.

CREATE USER bbdev SUPERUSER;
CREATE DATABASE bbdev;

1. Start backend using air (with live reload).

   PG_URL=postgresql://bbdev@localhost/bbdev
   air -c scripts/.air.toml

   Change the open file limit if you encounter "error: too many open files".

   ulimit -n 10240

   If you need additional runtime parameters such as --backup-bucket, please add them like this:

   air -c scripts/.air.toml -- --backup-region us-east-1 --backup-bucket s3:\\/\\/example-bucket --backup-credential ~/.aws/credentials

2. Start frontend (with live reload).

   cd frontend && pnpm i && pnpm dev

   Bytebase should now be running at http://localhost:3000 and change either frontend or backend code would trigger live reload.

• Use Code Inspector to locate frontend code from UI. Hold Option Shift on Mac or Alt Shift on Windows

• Bytebase vs Liquibase
• Bytebase vs Flyway

Either Flyway or Liquibase is a library and CLI focusing on schema change. While Bytebase is an one-stop solution covering the entire database development lifecycle for Developers and DBAs to collaborate.

Another key difference is Bytebase doesn't support Oracle and SQL Server. This is a conscious decision we make so that we can focus on supporting other databases without good tooling support. In particular, many of our users tell us Bytebase is by far the best (and sometimes the only) database tool that can support their PostgreSQL and ClickHouse use cases.

Either Yearning or Archery provides a DBA operation portal. While Bytebase provides a collaboration workspace for DBAs and Developers, and brings DevOps practice to the Database Change Management (DCM). Bytebase has the similar Project concept seen in GitLab/GitHub and provides native GitOps integration with GitLab/GitHub.

Another key difference is Yearning, Archery are open source projects maintained by the individuals part-time. While Bytebase is open-sourced, it adopts an open-core model and is a commercialized product, supported by a fully staffed team releasing new version every 2 weeks.
