# develop automated migration methods — Software Engineer

As a Software Engineer, 'develop automated migration methods' isn’t about one-off data moves; it's woven into almost every project lifecycle. Think refactoring legacy code – you automate the process of updating dependencies, renaming variables across a codebase, or converting old APIs to new ones using tools like codemods (e.g., `jscodeshift` for JavaScript) or automated refactoring features in your IDE. It also applies heavily to database schema changes; instead of manually writing SQL scripts, you'd use migration frameworks (Flyway, Liquibase, Alembic) to version control and apply changes safely.  Cloud migrations are a major area too – automating the transfer of applications and data from on-premise servers to AWS, Azure or GCP using tools like Terraform, Ansible, or cloud provider specific services.
