Hey y’all! Pete, Co-Founder of Liquibase here.
With today’s release of Liquibase 5.0, we’re formalizing the two paths we’ve seen emerge in the community:
-
Liquibase Community 5.0 → leaner, modular, and still free/open under the new Functional Source License (FSL). This ensures sustainability and keeps day-to-day freedom for developers.
-
Liquibase Secure 5.0 → the enterprise evolution of Pro. A packaged, certified distribution with governance, drift detection, audit trails, and enterprise-grade support.
**
What’s new in Community:**
-
Modular design for more flexibility
-
Some responsibilities shift to the community (testing, drivers, fixes)
-
Licensed under FSL to protect long-term sustainability
**
What’s new in Secure:**
-
Liquibase Secure Developer (VS Code extension)
-
AI-powered changelog generation (Private Preview)
-
New application-based pricing
Learn more at our upcoming webinar on October 16 and check out the docs.
As always, we’re here to answer questions about upgrade paths, FSL, or how to choose between Community and Secure. Curious how others are thinking about compliance + AI at the database layer.
