Describe a robust strategy for GitOps database schema migrations
Tests imperative-to-declarative schema reconciliation. Strong answers version idempotent pre-sync jobs and colocate schema state in Git. They use dedicated operators, not infra tools, for live execution.
Tests bridging imperative schema mutations with declarative GitOps. Strong answers cover four components: versioned idempotent migration files colocated with app code; execution via pre-sync hooks, init containers, or operators that run before app rollout; explicit rollback and backward-compatibility plans for failed migrations; and separation between orchestration tools like Argo CD and live schema execution, keeping Terraform away from ALTER TABLE.
