For Startup Teams
Onboard engineers in minutes. Eliminate migration merge conflicts.
FOR STARTUP TEAMS
Onboard new engineers in minutes, not hours.
YOUR SITUATION
Your startup is growing. You've got product-market fit (or you're close). You're hiring. The team is scaling from 3 to 10 engineers.
But database migrations are becoming a team friction point:
- Merge conflicts in the migrations folder every other PR
- Onboarding is painful - new engineers struggle with 200+ migrations
- Flaky staging environments due to migration ordering issues
- Fear of deployments because migrations might break production
This isn't just a tech problem. It's slowing down your velocity.
THE PAIN POINTS
TEAM FRICTION KILLS VELOCITY
- Merge conflicts: Frontend dev and backend dev both added migrations with same number
- Onboarding delays: New hire spends 3 hours debugging local migration issues
- Slow staging: Test deploys take 5+ minutes just replaying migrations
- Production fear: "Did we test this migration order in staging?"
- No visibility: PM asks "Are migrations cleaned up?" No one knows.
THE SOLUTION: CAPYSQUASH FOR TEAMS
3+ engineers? You need the CAPYSQUASH. Built for team collaboration and automation.
SOLVE TEAM PROBLEMS IN 3 STEPS
CREATE ORGANIZATION
Sign up at capysquash.dev. Create team workspace. Invite all engineers.
INSTALL GITHUB APP
One-click install. Automatic PR analysis. Results commented on every PR.
AUTOMATE CLEANUP
Weekly automated squashing. Zero manual work. Team sees health in dashboard.
WHAT YOU GET
1. Eliminate Merge Conflicts
The problem:
# Two devs both create migration_003
migrations/
migration_001.sql
migration_002.sql
migration_003.sql (from backend dev)
migration_003.sql (from frontend dev) ← CONFLICT!The solution:
- GitHub App catches this in PR
- Comments: "Warning: Duplicate migration number detected"
- Suggests automatic fix
- No more manual merge resolution
2. Onboarding Made Easy
Before:
# New hire's first day
git clone repo
npm install
# 3 hours later: "Why won't my migrations run?"
# 287 files, unclear order, historical conflictsAfter:
# With CAPYSQUASH
git clone repo
npm install
# Runs 12 clean migrations in 10 seconds
# New hire is productive on day 13. Team Dashboard
Everyone sees migration health:
- PM: "Are migrations cleaned up?" → Check dashboard
- Tech Lead: "Which projects need attention?" → Multi-project view
- New Engineer: "What's the schema?" → Clean, consolidated view
DASHBOARD EXAMPLE
Production API:
- 12 migrations (was 287)
- Last squashed: 2 days ago
- Health: ☑ Excellent
Staging Dashboard:
- 45 migrations (warning: needs squashing)
- Last squashed: 2 months ago
- Health: ⚠️ Needs attention
Mobile Backend:

## TEAM WORKFLOW EXAMPLE
### Scenario: Feature Branch with Migrations
**Day 1 - Developer adds migrations:**
```bash
# Developer works on feature branch
git checkout -b feature/user-profiles
# Adds 3 new migrations
supabase migration create add_profiles_table
supabase migration create add_avatars_column
supabase migration create add_profiles_rls
# Pushes to GitHub
git push origin feature/user-profilesDay 1 - Automatic analysis:
- GitHub App triggers on PR creation
- Analyzes 3 new migrations
- Comments on PR:
- "3 new migrations detected"
- "Can consolidate to 1 file"
- "No warnings"
- "Deployment impact: +15 seconds"
Day 2 - PR review:
- Tech Lead sees analysis in PR
- Approves knowing migration impact
- Merges to main
Day 3 - Automated cleanup:
- Scheduled squashing runs weekly
- Consolidates all migrations from the week
- Opens PR with cleaned migrations
- Team reviews and merges
Result:
- Zero manual migration management
- Team stays focused on features
- Migration health visible to everyone
