Caching
Can I keep a database warm between jobs?
Quick answer
Not with service containers, which are destroyed with the job. Load a pre-migrated schema dump instead.
The detail that matters
Dumping the migrated schema once and restoring it per job removes migration replay, which is usually the expensive part.
Your next build could be twice as fast, at half the price
Start free. Migrating away is the same one line, and we publish that diff too.
