Nine Tools.
One Platform.

Each tool is purpose-built for its database — no leaky abstractions, no lowest-common-denominator API. All share the same CLI contract, the same history table schema, and the same audit log format. SQL, NoSQL, NewSQL, wide-column, distributed OLAP — every major distributed database category covered.

Your AI assistant is fast everywhere except the database. Schema mistakes on distributed systems are catastrophic, expensive to reverse, and impossible to audit after the fact. SchemaShifts closes that gap — giving Claude, Copilot, and Cursor native access to migration state, schema health, capacity risk, and compliance history across your entire data infrastructure.

Cassandra-compatible databases

Compliance Infrastructure

Your Schema Migrations
Are an Audit Trail.

When a SOC2 auditor or HIPAA assessor asks who changed the schema, when, and whether it was approved — cassachange, spanchange, and bigtablechange answer automatically. No additional tooling. No manual evidence gathering.

CC6 · CC7
📋
Immutable Audit Log

Every deploy, rollback, script execution, and lock event is written append-only to the history database. Rows are never updated or deleted. Operator identity, timestamp, run ID, and outcome — captured automatically on every migration.

CC6.1 · Secrets
🔐
Zero Credential Exposure

Passwords, SSL certificates, and AstraDB secure bundles are pulled from HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, or Azure Key Vault at runtime. Nothing sensitive touches disk on a CI/CD runner. URIs never appear in logs.

Change Management
🔀
Version-Controlled Changes

Every schema change is a versioned, checksummed file committed to source control before it runs. No ad-hoc changes can be applied without appearing in migration history. Deploy fencing with tags provides release-level traceability.

CC7.5 · Recovery
↩️
Tested Rollback Procedures

Every versioned migration ships with a paired undo script. Any change can be reversed in a single command with a full audit record. This is a documented, tested recovery procedure — exactly what incident response controls require.

Policy Enforcement
📏
Policy-as-Code Schema Contracts

Encode naming conventions, mandatory TTL on sensitive tables, prohibited patterns, and PII column requirements as version-controlled rules. Enforced as CI gates with GitHub annotation output. Automated policy enforcement is accepted audit evidence.

Availability
🔒
Concurrent Deploy Prevention

Distributed locking (Cassandra LWT, Spanner serialisable transactions, Bigtable advisory lock) prevents two operators or CI pipelines from running simultaneously. No partial schema state. No conflicts. Availability controls satisfied.

Enterprise Feature

AI-Assisted Schema Intelligence

The enterprise edition ships a 23-rule schema analyser, a CI/CD contract enforcement gate, and a real-time CI/CD analytics dashboard — all surfaced natively inside Claude, Copilot, and Cursor via the MCP server. Catch anti-patterns before they reach production, enforce policy as code, and monitor deploy health across every keyspace.

Schema Analyser · 23 Rules

Instant Anti-Pattern
Detection

Every table in every keyspace is scored against 23 rules covering partition hotspots, missing clustering columns, absent temporal anchors, TTL gaps, and ALLOW FILTERING risks. Each finding includes actionable CQL advice — not just a score.

■ QS001 · ALLOW FILTERING risk
■ SA003 · No temporal anchor / no TTL
■ QS004 · No clustering — point lookups only
Contract checks and remediation dashboard showing CI gate blocked with hard failures and warnings per table
CI/CD analytics dashboard showing deploy success rates, slowest scripts, and per-keyspace breakdown
Policy-as-Code · CI Gate

Contract Checks
& Remediation

Encode your team's schema rules as version-controlled contracts — naming conventions, mandatory TTL, prohibited anti-patterns, PII column requirements. Enforced as a hard CI gate with exit code 2 on failure. Fully automated, fully auditable.

CI GATE · BLOCKED · exit code 2
22 rules enforced · 4 hard failures · 14 warnings
Both keyspaces · 8 tables affected
CI/CD Analytics · 90-day Window

Deploy Health
at a Glance

The MCP server surfaces a real-time CI/CD analytics dashboard — total deploys, success rates, p95 deploy times, slowest scripts per keyspace, and a per-keyspace breakdown. Ask Claude for your deploy health and get a live visual answer.
