This is a big thing for me. Most ORMs I’ve used have decent migration tools which is a huge benefit for managing your schema. We enforce changing Schemas via migrations as opposed to any sort of auto-migrations some packages offer. Makes life a ton easier being able to put these changes into a build pipeline.
Migrations (or evolutions, depending on the language you are using) are a joy when implemented properly. Alembic and Play Evolutions are two frameworks that I have dealt with specifically that are pretty great and hard to go back from.
