Problem description (optional)

No response

Desired solution

Instead of hibernate ddl-auto a real db migration tool should be added for reproducible behavior. Also this enforces database changes are only made explicitly by providing specific migrations.

The decision on which tool to use should also be made in this issue (i.e. flyway).

:+1: for using Flyway for database migrations:

already used internally in lots of projects (https://git.muenchen.de/search?scope=blobs&search=org.flywaydb+filename%3Apom.xml - 72 hits - Liquibase: https://git.muenchen.de/search?scope=blobs&search=org.liquibase+filename%3Apom.xml - 7 hits)
good Spring Boot / Maven integration
features of Community Edition are sufficient (IMO)

Disclaimer: I never used Liquibase ;)

If the decision is Flyway, I'm happy to make the code contribution

@eidottermihi

I discussed this with @devtobi, and we've decided to use Flyway for database migrations. If you're interested and have the time, feel free to assign the ticket to yourself and contribute. 👍
