## Description

Data-migrate is a command-line utility designed for managing and executing sequential data transformations alongside standard database schema migrations. It functions as a framework for version control, allowing teams to track, roll back, and synchronize both structural database changes and data updates across multiple environments and deployment pipelines.

The tool distinguishes itself by coordinating migrations across multiple database connections within a single application, ensuring data integrity in distributed architectures. It supports modular project structures by allowing migration scripts to be organized within isolated application components, facilitating independent management of features and distributed development workflows.

The system provides a unified interface for generating, running, and tracking the status of migration files. It ensures consistency through transactional execution, which rolls back partial updates upon failure, and environment-aware schema dumping, which captures the current state of applied migrations to synchronize configurations across development, testing, and production instances.

The framework integrates into automated deployment pipelines to execute necessary data updates during application releases without manual intervention. It includes validation checks to identify pending migration tasks and prevent inconsistent application states during deployment cycles.
