Iko (ee-koh) is a lightweight command-line tool for managing Postgres database migrations.
It wraps Sqitch with a developer-friendly DSL and scripting.
- Reliable, clean migrations
- Batteries-included: deploy, verify, revert
- Works inside a container — zero local deps
- Powerful scripting model with Bash
curl -fsSL https://explodinglabs.com/iko/install.sh | sh
echo 'SQITCH_TARGET=db:pg://postgres:postgres@localhost/app' > .env
iko init myapp
iko create_schema api
iko deploy
