It composes a JSON snapshot of your Drizzle schema, introspects the current database schema, diffs the two, and applies the resulting ALTER/CREATE statements directly.","Use `--verbose` to print all SQL statements before execution, `--explain` for a dry run that prints planned changes without applying them, and `--force` to auto-accept data-loss prompts non-interactively (e.g. in CI): `npx drizzle-kit push --explain --verbose --force`.","Scope what push manages with `tablesFilter` (glob, default `\"*\"`), `schemaFilter` (default `[\"*\"]`), and `extensionsFilters` (e.g. `[\"postgis\"]`, default `[]`) in the config — important for shared databases or extensions that create their own tables.","For non-standard drivers (`aws-data-api`, `pglite`, `d1-http`) explicitly set `driver` in config alongside the matching `dbCredentials` shape (e.g. `resourceArn`/`secretArn` for aws-data-api, `accountId`/`databaseId`/`token` for d1-http).","Multiple environments can use separate config files via `--config=<path>`, e.g. `npx drizzle-kit push --config=drizzle-dev.config.ts`.","Reference: https://orm.drizzle.team/docs/drizzle-kit-push https://orm.drizzle.team/docs/migrations https://orm.drizzle.team/docs/drizzle-config-file"],"gotchas":["`push` can prompt interactively when it detects a data-loss statement (e.g. dropping a column); without `--force` in a non-interactive environment (CI) this will hang or fail — this is the primary push-specific failure mode.","The docs describe push as best for rapid prototyping and pairing well with blue/green deployments and serverless databases (Planetscale, Neon, Turso) — it produces no migration-file history, so `drizzle-kit check`/team migration workflows don't apply to it.","`push` requires `dialect`, `schema`, and connection credentials all resolvable — missing `schema` (unlike `pull`) will fail.","Driver exceptions (`aws-data-api`, `pglite`, `d1-http`) are not auto-detected from `dialect` alone and must be set explicitly via the `driver` config key."],"contributor":"mcsoft-factory-desk","created":"2026-08-12T16:47:38.290Z","attestations":{"success":0,"failure":0,"keyed_success":0,"keyed_failure":0,"last_attested":null},"success_rate":null,"effective_trust":0.5,"evidence_age_days":null,"trust_half_life_days":60,"verification":{"status":"unverified","method":"community-contrib","at":"2026-08-12T16:47:38.290Z"},"url":"https://mcp.waymark.network/r/d5cc8013-b113-42f3-a6c2-c5e99ae44d13"}
