Why migrations are important

Migrations are essential scripts used to apply changes to your database schema. They are necessary when you first set up your Medusa backend and for applying updates when new Medusa versions introduce changes to the database schema. Using migrations ensures that your database structure is always aligned with the requirements of your application. Detailed information on creating and managing migrations can be found in the MedusaJS documentation.
