Before you ship your side project, run three commands: Yatta JS's doctor, migrate, and backup

Description and use

Before shipping a side project, run Yatta JS’s doctor, migrate, and backup commands to prevent configuration errors, missed migrations, and data loss.

Problem

Side projects often fail between local success and real‑world launch due to unrun migrations, missing backups, and unnoticed misconfigurations.

Outcome

Implementing a pre‑ship checklist of doctor, migrate, and backup commands reduces launch‑time failures and keeps solo projects operational beyond early stages.

Workflow

• Run yatta doctor to validate project setup before deployment.
• Create and apply migrations using Yatta’s CLI to keep schema changes repeatable.
• Take a database backup with yatta backup before risky changes and test restore procedures.

Evidence

Yatta's doctor command does that job: it checks your project setup and flags problems before they become launch‑day surprises.

Source

Yatta's CLI treats migrations as ordinary work: make a migration, check migration status, run the migration.

Source

Yatta's CLI includes database backup and restore commands, and the honest truth is that most solo projects never test a restore until the day they need one.
