Setup for multiple databases

Looking to get some help on how to configure drizzle with an application that connects to multiple databases. Establishing different connection pools is pretty intuitive, but I could use some help understanding the setup for different configs for each database and different migration directories.

Are this databases related in some way? Are they replicas?

Nope, no relationship We might have an analytics db that does some replication with AWS DMS in the future, but not likely right now

Are you migrating from another ORM? How did you handle this before? I would suggest creating a new db instance with the drizzle function separately. If you also want to handle the schema and migrations with drizzle, you should definitely have those in different folders to make sure they're not interfering with each other

How would I properly setup the config to support 2 dbs? All the examples show a default config so its not clear to me how 2 would be supported.

import type { Config as DrizzleConfig } from "drizzle-kit";

export default {
  schema: [
    "api/src/db/schema/app1.ts",
  ],
  out: "api/app1/drizzle/migrations/",
  driver: "pg",
  dbCredentials: {
    connectionString:
      "postgresql://postgres:docker@localhost:5432",
  },
} satisfies DrizzleConfig;

  out: "api/app1/drizzle/migrations/",
  driver: "pg",
  dbCredentials: {
    connectionString:
      "postgresql://postgres:docker@localhost:5432",
  },
} satisfies DrizzleConfig;

You would probably need different drizzle config files for each Check for example this repo, that I usually use for manual tests

Then you can set up the appropriate one per database in the scripts key in you package.json
