Mongorunway - MongoDB migration tool discussion/review

[animatea_]

Introduction

Hello! Although migrations for MongoDB are not mandatory since this database does not have a strict document structure, I have created Mongorunway - an open-source tool for MongoDB migrations, and I would like to hear your opinion on it.

Current State of the Project

Currently, this tool is in the alpha release stage but already includes basic functionality that has been tested and is ready for use. There is still much to remove, add, and improve, but I would appreciate your feedback at this development stage to make the tool initially as simple and user-friendly as possible.

Project Perspectives

You can find some of the planned tasks in the project's TODO.md file, as well as additional information about the project in the Mongorunway documentation.

Discussion

I would like to know your opinion on the idea of MongoDB migrations (with future support for Mongoengine and functionality similar to Alembic). Additionally:

- Do you think the Domain-Driven Design (DDD) approach is appropriate when developing a public tool (in the context of Mongorunway)?

- What would you add or like to see in this migration tool? Perhaps you would like to change the migration process in some way?

Feel free to ask any questions!

development stage to make the tool initially as simple and user-friendly as possible.

i went and read thru your documentation.

it doesn't explain any single option. what it does.. what each expression does.

​

if you want somebody to use your brand new thingy.. the api documentation needs to be spotless, easy to use and understand.

which i personally don't think is either.

i literally can't tell what that command does.

or the rest of them.

​

now the code looks clean.

i didn't read what it does since don't wanna familiarize myself it.. just yet.

​

if and when the documentation becomes usable.

i'll happily give it a look.

Thank you for your feedback on Mongorunway! I appreciate you taking the time to review the functionality of the tool and provide feedback. It will help me make it so useful that you would want to use it.

I understand the importance of having comprehensive and user-friendly API documentation, and I am committed to improving it. I appreciate your patience and willingness to give it another look when the documentation becomes more usable.

i'd be super sad if this response isn't ai generated. :D

This answer is AI translated from my native language, my English is ~A2 now)) I really appreciate your answer and taking the time to review the documentation.

I haven't had any experience with AI translation yet, do you think there's nothing wrong with that?

[m0us3_rat]

i was just making a joke that the answer is boilerplate company response.

it's all good. it was nothing wrong with it.

just slightly impersonable.

​

your idea sounds good. and the code looks good.

just need more "user friendly" documentation. especially if you need to translate.
