About This Episode:
In this episode, we introduce one of Laravel’s most powerful features: database migrations. You’ll learn how migrations act like version control for your database, making schema changes reliable, reversible, and easy to manage across development and production environments.
💡 What You’ll Learn
- How Laravel’s database abstraction layer simplifies working with different databases
- Designing a database schema for the Survey App (surveys, sections, and questions)
- Creating and running migrations with php artisan make:migration and php artisan migrate
- Rolling back and modifying migrations safely
- Configuring your database connection in Laravel
- Verifying your schema and data in your local environment
🧠 By the end of this video, you’ll have a working database structure ready for your Eloquent models — a major milestone toward a fully dynamic survey application.
