Data Model Migration - Introduction

When implementing custom data models for enterprise solutions, developers typically begin in a development environment before migrating their models to production. This process enables thorough testing and refinement before going live. Liferay provides migration features for promoting data models across environments while maintaining consistent data, configurations, and integrations.

Here, you’ll learn best practices for smooth migrations, ensuring consistent data models, picklists, and entries across environments.
