This month brings a batch of practical Flyway Desktop and GitHub Actions improvements, a closer look at what auditable database change management means under DORA, and some news we're proud of: Redgate Flyway has been named a Leader in the latest G2 report. Here's the round-up.

What's new in Redgate Flyway Enterprise

The product teams shipped a good mix of usability and pipeline updates this past month. A few highlights:

• Remember tabs. Flyway Desktop now restores whatever tabs you had open when you closed it, so you can pick up exactly where you left off.
• PostgreSQL and MySQL filter configuration. You can now set filters for PostgreSQL and MySQL projects directly in the Flyway Desktop UI, instead of editing the project file by hand. The SQL Server and Oracle filter UI got a refresh too.
• SQL Server static data existence checks. A new option wraps static data INSERT statements with existence checks, so scripts can be safely re-run if your team occasionally runs them outside Flyway.
• New GitHub Action to generate migrations. This action generates versioned and undo migration scripts from the schema model, ready to slot into a pull request or pipeline.
• SARIF support in GitHub Actions. Flyway's database code policy results now upload as SARIF, so they show up natively in GitHub's security view alongside the rest of your checks.

Auditable change management and what DORA actually asks for

If you work in financial services in the EU, DORA isn't new, but the expectations around evidencing how you manage change are still catching a lot of teams out. The Digital Operational Resilience Act came into full effect in January 2025, and it sets a baseline for how ICT risk has to be managed, monitored, and, crucially, evidenced.

The database is often the gap. You can have solid change control at the application layer and still struggle to show a clean, auditable trail of who changed what, when, and why at the database level. That's the part Flyway Enterprise is built to handle.

We've broken down DORA's requirements for database change management and how Redgate Flyway Enterprise maps to them here: Why DORA compliance requires auditable database change management.
