The record

Purpose: migrate-mongo is a database migration tool for MongoDB running in Node.js.
Migration commands: Its CLI can initialize a project, create migrations, apply pending migrations, undo the last applied migration, and show migration status.
Reversible migrations: Migration scripts provide up and down functions for applying and, where possible, rolling back changes.
Migration tracking: Applied changes are recorded in a configurable MongoDB changelog collection.
Locking: The configuration supports a lock collection and a lock TTL, with a TTL value of 0 disabling the feature.
Module formats: New projects default to CommonJS, with ECMAScript Modules also supported.
Transactions: Migration scripts can use MongoDB's Transactions API through the supplied MongoClient, requiring MongoDB 4.0 or higher and migrate-mongo 7.0.0 or higher.
File hashes: An optional file-hash setting lets changed migration files run again, provided scripts are written to be safely rerunnable.
Customization: Actions other than init accept options for a custom configuration file and a custom migrations directory.
Integrations: Migration scripts can use Node.js modules and installed npm packages from the migration project's package.json.
Requirements: The README lists Node.js 20 or higher and MongoDB versions 4.x through 7.x as requirements.
License: The repository identifies the project as MIT licensed.
Error behavior: If a migration fails, migrate-mongo stops without continuing through the remaining pending migrations.
Maintainer: The package metadata names Sebastian Van Sande as author.
