Apache-2.0 schema-as-code CLI; Cloud CI/governance is paid

What's Good
Apache-2.0 CLI forever: declarative schema apply and versioned migrate diff/lint/apply. HCL, SQL, or ORM loaders. Local linting with a disposable --dev-url. No per-migration license tax on the CLI.
The Catch
Vs Flyway/Liquibase/Prisma migrate: schema-as-code + auto-planned diffs, not only ordered SQL scripts. LOUD: Atlas Cloud (CI automation, drift, governance) is a separate paid product — Starter free-limited, Pro adds per-dev/project fees. Free path is the OSS CLI.
Verdict
Apache-2.0 schema CLI. Cloud CI/governance is paid; CLI is the free path.
