Molt: Database migrations done in a single graceful shed

Overview

Schema migrations with dry-runs, rollbacks, and safety checks. Sheds the old structure without leaving feathers all over the table.

Molt is part of our Coop Operations line, and it plays nicely with ClutchCI and Dawn Patrol, so you can adopt it one perch at a time. Ship, monitor, and roll back with the discipline of a farmer who wakes before dawn.

Teams usually start with the free Chick plan, move to Hen when the flock grows past a handful, and graduate to Rooster once the security team wants audit logs. The upgrade is one click, and nobody needs to molt.

Key features

On-call rotations that account for time zones, vacations, and molting seasons.
Molt deploys in rolling waves, so only a few hens get a new perch at a time.
Cost reports break down spend per hen, per coop, and per egg.
Post-incident reviews are blameless, because nobody blames a chicken for being afraid of a fox.
Automatic rollback when error rates climb faster than a hen up a ramp.

What the flock says

★★★★☆ Priscilla P. Product Lead, Peckish

The docs are shockingly good. We tested them by handing them to an intern.

★★★★☆ Gertrude G. Head of Ops, Free Range Freight

My team likes it. My rooster-in-chief likes it. The fox on the board remains unconvinced.

★★★★☆ Gertrude G. Head of Ops, Free Range Freight

A few rough edges, but every one of them came with a charming error message.

Frequently asked questions

Does Molt work with the rest of the Pollosoft flock?

Absolutely. Everything shares one identity (Cage-Free SSO), one billing account (BillOfLaying), and one deeply optimistic status page.

Can I try Molt for free?

Yes. Every software product has a Chick plan that never expires, plus a 30-day trial of Hen, no credit card required. Just a firm, honest handshake with a wing.

Is Molt secure?

It is protected by CoopGuard at the perimeter and FeatherLock at rest, and audited annually by TalonAudit. Also, we have never lost a chicken. To our knowledge.
