The problem
Schema changes are risky when they live in scattered scripts and tribal knowledge. Teams hesitate to improve their model because rollback and impact are unclear.
The River approach
River turns schema evolution into a visible sequence of versions, diffs, previews, and applied migrations that the whole team can understand.
