supabase-migration-deep-dive
Database migration patterns with the Supabase CLI: npx supabase migration new, zero-downtime migrations, data backfill strategies, schema versioning, rollback strategies, and TypeScript type generation. Use when creating database migrations, performing zero-downtime schema changes, backfilling data in production, managing schema versions, or planning rollback strategies. Trigger with "supabase migration", "supabase schema change", "supabase zero downtime", "supabase rollback", "supabase db push", "supabase migration new".

# Supabase Migration Deep Dive
## Overview
Supabase migrations are timestamped SQL files managed by the CLI that track schema changes across environments. This skill covers the full lifecycle — creating migrations, zero-downtime schema changes, batch backfills, versioning, rollback, and TypeScript type generation — using real CLI commands and `createClient` from `@supabase/supabase-js`.
**When to use:** Creating new database migrations, modifying production schemas without downtime, backfilling existing data after adding columns, managing migration history across dev/staging/production, rolling back failed migrations, or regenerating TypeScript types.
## Prerequisites
- Supabase CLI installed: `npm install --save-dev supabase` or `npx supabase --version`
- `@supabase/supabase-js` v2+ installed in your project
- Local Supabase running: `npx supabase start`
- Understanding of PostgreSQL DDL and transaction behavior
