tl;dr: Database migrations should run at deployment time, not build time, to avoid race conditions and build failures.
Remove database migration from Dockerfile build step
Problem
The Dockerfile was running
yarn db:migrateduring the image build process (line 54), which is an anti-pattern that can cause several issues:Solution
Removed the
RUN yarn db:migratecommand from the Dockerfile. Database migrations should be handled at deployment time, not build time.Deployment Impact for Mercur users
This change requires updating the deployment pipeline to run migrations separately:
# Recommended deployment sequence: 1. Build Docker image 2. Deploy infrastructure (SST/Terraform/Pulumi/etc) 3. Run database migrations: yarn db:migrate 4. Start application containersBenefits
