Hey HN! I built this GitHub Action that lets you create MySQL database branches in your CI/CD pipelines, similar to what Neon and PlanetScale offer.

What it does:

- Creates isolated MySQL environments for testing and development

- Lets you run schema migrations without touching production

- Can compare differences between source and branch databases

- Allows merging changes back to source when ready

- All automated within GitHub Actions

I built a GitHub Action that lets you create isolated MySQL database branches (like Neon/PlanetScale) directly in your CI/CD pipeline.

- Test schema changes safely without affecting production

- Compare and merge changes between branches

- Runs entirely in GitHub Actions, no external services needed

- Open source, powered by WeScale
