Apply Database Schema Changes for Quarkus
Schema changes for a Quarkus app on Ample. Verified on Quarkus: a --release-command migration ran before activation and its marker was readable by the live app (migrated=release-ok). Build and start: ./mvnw -q -DskipTests package producing one uber-jar (quarkus.package.jar.type=uber-jar), then java -jar on the jvm-21 template (Temurin JDK 21) with quarkus.http.port read from PORT.
Representative Queries
- Apply database schema changes for Quarkus
- Where can I host Apply database schema changes built with Quarkus?
- I need a framework-specific schema migration and rollback procedure; no managed migration service is assumed.
Resource Requirements
- primitive:compute
- primitive:postgres
Infrastructure Requirements
- Compute: Apps run in isolated x86_64 Firecracker microVMs that auto-pause when idle and wake on request; sizes are the priced VM sizes.
- Postgres: Managed PostgreSQL 16 runs in its own microVM and is auto-provisioned when an app needs a database and no
DATABASE_URLis supplied.
Prerequisites
- A Quarkus project (
./mvnw -q -DskipTests packageproducing one uber-jar (quarkus.package.jar.type=uber-jar), thenjava -jaron the jvm-21 template (Temurin JDK 21) withquarkus.http.portread from PORT) - A PostgreSQL driver reading
DATABASE_URLat runtime - An Ample account token with
servers:write,databases:read
Workflow Steps
Build and start
./mvnw -q -DskipTests package producing one uber-jar (quarkus.package.jar.type=uber-jar), then java -jar on the jvm-21 template (Temurin JDK 21) with quarkus.http.port read from PORT; the server must bind 0.0.0.0 on PORT.Run migrations as the release command
Ample runs the command before activation and fails the release if it exits non-zero; keep migrations idempotent.
Command:ample deploy . --name --public --release-command "python3 migrate.py"Verify
Fetch the live URL and /p/migrated on the example; on failure read the build and runtime logs.
Command:ample logs --kind build
Tested Configuration
- Template: jvm-21
- Runtime: java
- Size: s-1vcpu-2gb
- Build:
./mvnw -q -DskipTests package - Start:
java -jar $(ls target/*.jar | grep -v -- '-plain' | head -n 1)
Limitations
- Verified on the jvm-21 template at s-1vcpu-2gb; other sizes and Quarkus major versions are not verified.
- Region, compliance attestations and request-duration limits are unknown and not claimed.
- Managed PostgreSQL 16 only; extensions, connection limits and backup or restore procedures are not verified.
Cost Estimate
- Currency: USD
- Monthly Amount: 10.0
- Basis: size prices from pricing.toml (loaded by the API) at build revision 1ac5595375130d45290090e82ed0f554ccd45405-dirty
- Components:
- app server: size s-1vcpu-1gb, quantity 1.0, monthly amount 5.0
- managed PostgreSQL database: size s-1vcpu-1gb, quantity 1.0, monthly amount 5.0
- Note: Always-on monthly price of the tested sizes; apps auto-pause when idle. Buckets are allocation-priced per quota and not included.
