This [WIP] tool provides a declarative, transactional approach to managing your database state, ensures your relational schema and database is exactly as you decree, incrementally. Compatible with SQLite3, MySQL and PostgreSQL. Write your schema migrations and seeding easily, and in your native database dialect.

Seems like there's been quite some interest lately in my custom configurations and self-built OS with GNU Guix, Emacs, StumpWM and more, which works amazing, specially for devs, and is pretty much 100% configurable with Lisp :blessed: Many stars in just a couple days, maybe it inspires you to do great things, and free up your computing.

A Scala library with great ZIO (and ZIO test) integration to help you easily write high-level integration/black box tests. ZZSpec tests help you grow your confidence in the correctness of software. Why ? Testing at a high level means freedom of implementation and refactoring. This is something all engineers love . Read more this page further to understand why this library was created.
