FAQ

Can multiple instances migrate in parallel?

Yes, the user_version update is visible to every database connection. When the maximum migration version is less than the user_version (which means it is an obsolete instance), it will skip the migration.

You may need a proper retry strategy, because each migration uses BEGIN IMMEDIATE to ensure that parallel write transactions fail early.
