Overview

This pull request introduces a robust, production-grade database migration system for EventGate using Flyway, and updates the CI workflow to automatically detect and handle database schema changes. It migrates the schema definitions from Python test fixtures to versioned SQL migrations, establishes clear role-based access, and ensures integration tests run with the latest schema. Additionally, it improves type hints for boto3 clients and minor utility code.

Release Notes

  • Added Flyway-based database migrations for schema, roles, and grants, replacing manual/ad-hoc database setup with a version-controlled, repeatable process.
  • Tightened database access control by scoping owner/writer/reader role permissions to explicit tables and sequences, and updated CI to run migrations and integration tests automatically on database changes.

The pull request adds Flyway configuration and PostgreSQL migrations for schemas, roles, and grants. Integration fixtures and tests execute migrations, validate baselines, and verify role permissions. CI detects database changes and runs Flyway-backed integration tests.

Changes

Database migration lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Flyway configuration and database migrations
flyway.toml, database/migrations/*, database/README.md
Flyway configuration, database bootstrap DDL, roles, initial schema, grants, and migration documentation were added.
Integration migration execution and baseline validation
tests/integration/conftest.py, tests/integration/test_baseline_migration.py
Integration setup now runs Flyway. Baseline tests verify legacy data preservation and baseline version 1.4.0.0.
Database role permission validation
tests/integration/test_db_roles.py
Integration tests verify reader, writer, and owner permissions.
CI database change detection and execution
.github/workflows/quality_gates.yml
The workflow detects database changes, installs Java 21 and Flyway 13.3.0, and runs integration tests for Python or database changes.
Python compatibility maintenance
src/utils/config_loader.py, src/writers/writer_eventbridge.py
S3 loading steps were separated. The EventBridge client annotation now uses Optional[Any].

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 0f428

This PR changes database initialization and access-control defaults. Automatic baselining can accept the wrong or incompatible existing schema, existing roles may retain elevated privileges, and PUBLIC may keep CREATE on the shared schema, creating security and deployment risks that should be fixed before merge.

I used a tdd for implementing this feature. I dont know how I feel about having integration test for test_baseline_migration.py. Is it something we want to test over and over again in the integration testS?

16-97: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Use a Flyway baseline migration for the initial schema.

Because baselineOnMigrate records 1.4.0.0 for an adopted database, Flyway applies V1.4.0.1, V1.4.0.2, and V1.4.0.3. V1.4.0.2 uses CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS, so existing tables with incompatible definitions are accepted without schema validation.

Rename the file to B1.4.0.0__initial_schema.ddl. Keep the role and grant migrations above 1.4.0.0. Update database/README.md to use the new filename. This applies the initial schema to new databases and excludes it from adopted databases.

Do not treat an existing role as compliant.

Each IF EXISTS branch leaves the role attributes, password, and memberships unchanged. A pre-existing eventgate_writer or eventgate_reader role can retain elevated privileges while this migration reports success.

Remove the skip branches so migration fails on role drift, or explicitly reconcile every required role attribute and membership before continuing.

PostgreSQL official documentation public schema CREATE privilege PostgreSQL 15 upgraded databases ALTER SCHEMA OWNER privilege

💡 Result:

In PostgreSQL 15 and later, significant security changes were introduced regarding the public schema to address risks associated with the default PUBLIC CREATE privilege [1][2][3]. Key Changes in PostgreSQL 15 1. CREATE Privilege: By default, the PUBLIC role is no longer granted the CREATE privilege on the public schema [1][4][5]. This change applies to newly created database clusters and databases within existing clusters [1][4]. 2. Ownership: The default owner of the public schema is now the pg_database_owner role, rather than the bootstrap superuser [1][4][5]. This allows the owner of a database to manage the public schema directly [1][2]. Impact on Upgraded Databases Upgrading a PostgreSQL cluster (e.g., using pg_dump or pg_upgrade) from version 14 or earlier preserves the existing permissions and ownership of the public schema to ensure backward compatibility [1][3][4]. Consequently, upgraded databases do not automatically adopt the more secure default settings [2][3]. Manual Remediation If you want an upgraded database to reflect the PostgreSQL 15+ security defaults, you must manually execute the following commands [2][3]: REVOKE CREATE ON SCHEMA public FROM PUBLIC; ALTER SCHEMA public OWNER TO pg_database_owner; ALTER SCHEMA OWNER Privilege To use the ALTER SCHEMA command to change a schema's owner, you must satisfy the following requirements [6][7][8]: - You must be the owner of the schema [6][8]. - You must be a direct or indirect member of the new owning role [8]. (In some versions, this is phrased as needing the ability to SET ROLE to the new owner [6][7][9]). - You must have the CREATE privilege on the database [6][7][8]. - Superusers have all these required privileges automatically [6][7][8].

Harden public schema privileges.

If Flyway baselines a legacy database, PUBLIC can retain CREATE on public. GRANT USAGE does not remove this privilege. Set eventgate_owner as the schema owner and revoke CREATE from PUBLIC. Test both application roles against a legacy PUBLIC CREATE grant before migration.

Flyway baselineOnMigrate setting non-empty schema without schema history wrong database safety check official documentation

💡 Result:

The Flyway baselineOnMigrate setting is a convenience feature designed for introducing Flyway to an existing database [1][2]. When enabled, it allows the migrate command to proceed on a non-empty schema that lacks a Flyway schema history table by automatically creating the table and baselining the schema [1][3]. Safety Considerations: Official documentation explicitly warns that enabling baselineOnMigrate removes a critical safety net [1][4]. By default, if Flyway detects a non-empty schema without a schema history table, it throws an error (NON_EMPTY_SCHEMA_WITHOUT_SCHEMA_HISTORY_TABLE) to prevent accidental execution against the wrong database [5][6]. Enabling baselineOnMigrate bypasses this protection, which could lead to unintended migration execution if there is a configuration error (e.g., pointing to the wrong database) [1][4]. Mechanism: 1. When migrate is called, Flyway checks the configured schemas [1]. 2. If the schemas contain objects but no history table exists, Flyway normally fails [5]. 3. With baselineOnMigrate=true, Flyway automatically initializes the schema history table with a baseline version (default 1) [1][2]. 4. Any migration scripts with a version higher than the baseline version will then be applied [1]. Best Practice: To maintain safety while using this feature, it is recommended to manually verify your database connection configurations and, where possible, use the explicit baseline command for initial production deployments rather than relying on automatic baselining [1][2]. If you must use baselineOnMigrate, ensure your baselineVersion is correctly configured to reflect the current state of your database to avoid re-running existing migrations [1][7].

Citations:


Keep automatic baselining out of the shared configuration.

baselineOnMigrate = true bypasses Flyway’s wrong-database safety check. A non-empty target without Flyway history can be baselined at 1.4.0.0, then receive migrations that create roles and change table ownership. Keep the default disabled and enable it only for a controlled legacy-adoption deployment.

writer and preserve the existing None initialization.

I used a tdd for implementing this feature. I dont know how I feel about having integration test for test_baseline_migration.py. Is it something we want to test over and over again in the integration testS?

Isn't test_baseline_migration.py unnecessary duplicity? DDLs live elsewhere, if we want to load the DB with its structures into a integration test, we can leverage Flyway there, and we do not need to test Flyway itself

Good job. Well-tested, docs decent, migration/baseline design sound.

The same here, does it have to be here? Some note in readme would do.

I believe yes, this baselineOnMigrate is run only on the first migration on existing DB I think

it could also run ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES so any newly created table inherites the same set defined here - this is not necessary but the person adding a table in future would have to remember to run the same scripts like these.

if the original implementation would be different, and would put this into a separated schema, I would say that let's grant the ownership of a given schema to this user. But I do not want to change schema ownership of a public schema (not sure it's possible even). So Oto's idea is sound

the common practice is to set the user roles and passwords during the deployment by Terraform, this way it can store the values to AWS secrets store where the application can access them

we will have this on UAT and PROD. I think that it was part of PoC but we don't really need it anymore. If we wanna test, we have DEV env.

What do you think @oto-macenauer, any idea where/how we could use it and thus keep it here?

I think that this topic and thus this table is not really used. I don't even know what its responsibility should be :D

I checked DEV and PROD content of these table - empty!

If yes, should we clean it here? @oto-macenauer I would appreciate your opinion also, because you might know more than I

actually I wonder who will perform deployments - maybe the master, postgres user, or maybe eventgate_owner, with which I think this would be needed:

maybe we can use this as a first-time command that we run manually and then never look back - so maybe this does not belong here actually at all?

also not sure about the durability of this. I would probably just remove both. This will be stored in the public schema and in its flyway-related table I think

You setup the flyway-cli, but I don't think it's ever used? These are the options / further actions and commands potentially if you want: https://github.com/marketplace/actions/redgate-flyway-github-actions

and then you would probably remove some python files managing the migration

EDIT: Hmm, but you probably wouldn't be able to substitute the pwd so nicely. Was this the goal?

Also, how the deployment onto a real DB will look like, considering all this?
