What are the best practices for TypeORM migrations?

When working with TypeORM migrations, it's important to follow best practices such as keeping migrations small, naming them clearly, and testing them thoroughly.

Can you explain why keeping migrations small is important?

Keeping migrations small helps in isolating changes, making it easier to debug issues and understand the history of changes.

What should I include in the migration naming convention?

Include a timestamp and a brief description of the change, like '20231001-add-users-table' to maintain clarity.

How can I test my migrations before applying them?

You can test migrations by running them in a staging environment or using TypeORM's built-in migration commands to simulate the process.
