February 2022 Community Recap

Before I share updates from the Liquibase Community, I want to acknowledge the unprovoked Russian War that is unfolding in Ukraine. To our colleagues, friends, community members, and all people of Ukraine, we stand with you.

We ask that you join us in standing by supporting the people of Ukraine. Our colleagues have recommended some trustworthy organizations to support.
