Alembic

# a new column, model, etc. has been added before
alembic revision --autogenerate -m '<describe your changes>'

# review the migration in backend/feedback/alembic/versions

# upgrade to the latest version
alembic upgrade head

Make it a point to downgrade and upgrade whenever a change has a migration, to make sure nothing breaks.

Field length changes

Alembic doesn't detect field length changes by default, it's configuration has to be modified to detect it.
