Liquibase OSS 5.0 Readiness Checklist

Your must-have guide to Liquibase OSS 5.0: What you need to know now

Liquibase OSS 5.0 ships this September and it is a significant shift. OSS 5.0 removes key safety nets and shifts critical responsibilities onto your team. For security-conscious enterprises, this creates meaningful operational and compliance risk. 

Planning to stay on OSS? Here are the key areas for your teams to align on:

• Security & Compliance Planning: Assign ownership for vulnerability response, audit trails, manual policy enforcement, and SBOM tracking.
• Upgrade & Integration Readiness: Set up automated testing pipelines, document integrations, and manage fast-moving, community-led release cycles.
• Driver & Extension Management: Reinstall, validate, and continuously maintain driver and extension compatibility.
• Rollback & Audit Support: Build and maintain internal procedures for rollbacks, schema change tracking, and audit documentation.
• Support & Ownership Structure: Assign internal Liquibase owners, define issue triage paths, and establish escalation processes.
