Covers two approaches: using raw SQL files with psql via GitHub Actions, and using Prisma ORM migrations via GitHub Actions. Both methods trigger automatically when a pull request is merged into the main branch. Also explains how to use Neon's schema diff feature to document changes made in development branches, and how to re-sync the Neon Twin after production migrations are applied. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
