Read Original

This technical article explains why running EF Core migrations on application startup is problematic and presents a better approach: generating an idempotent SQL migration script during the build phase and executing it against the database in the release pipeline using Azure DevOps and PowerShell. It covers the commands and configuration needed for a more secure, faster, and scalable deployment process.
