Whitepaper

Why Redgate Flyway is the next step for teams who've outgrown OSS and free-to-use software

Recognize the signs. Reduce the risk. Scale with confidence. 

Many teams start their database change journey with free tools like Flyway Community. These tools are great for getting started - but as complexity grows, so do the cracks. From deployment bottlenecks and compliance pressures to custom tooling that’s hard to maintain. 

This whitepaper helps technical leaders identify the breaking point indicators that signal it’s time to evolve. It explores the limitations of free tooling and introduces Flyway Enterprise as a scalable, low-risk solution that builds on what teams already know and trust. 

What you’ll learn: 

  • Why “free” tooling becomes expensive as teams scale 
  • The business risks of maintaining custom database tooling 
  • How Flyway Enterprise simplifies compliance, protects revenue, and supports AI-readiness 
  • Real-world examples from teams who’ve made the switch
