Quick Answer
Django migrations: python manage.py makemigrations (generates migration files from model changes), python manage.py migrate (applies to DB). Migrations track schema changes in version control. SQLAlchemy uses Alembic for migrations: alembic revision --autogenerate, alembic upgrade head. Always review auto-generated migrations before applying. Back up production DB before running migrations.
Answer
Migrations track schema changes. Auto-generated scripts modify tables and fields. Keep environments consistent across dev, staging, and production.
