The current state of my attempt to fully automate migrations upon deployment with PlanetScale

    protected $signature = 'migrate:pscale {beforeOrAfter}';

    protected $description = 'Run the migrations that should occur at this point in the deploymnent process.';

    /**

    public function handle(): int
    {
        if (!in_array($this->argument('beforeOrAfter'), ['before', 'after'])) {
            $this->error('Invalid argument. Must be `php artisan migrate:pscale before` or `php artisan migrate:pscale after`');
            return Command::INVALID;
        }
        
        // Move any migrations out of the migrations folder and into the before or after folder
        // depending on what operations they perform.
        app(CategorizeMigrations::class)();

        if (File::isEmptyDirectory(database_path($this->argument('beforeOrAfter')))) {
            $this->info("Nothing to migrate " . $this->argument('beforeOrAfter') . " deployment");
            return Command::SUCCESS;
        }

        $branch = Str::orderedUuid()->toString();

        app(CreateBranch::class)($branch);

        sleep(config('services.pscale.sleep.create-branch'));

        app(ConnectToBranch::class)($branch);

        Artisan::call('migrate', [
            '--path' => database_path($this->argument('beforeOrAfter')),
            '--force' => true,
        ]);

        $requestNumber = app(CreateDeployRequest::class)($branch);

        app(DeployRequest::class)($requestNumber);

        sleep(config('services.pscale.sleep.deploy-request'));

        app(DeleteBranch::class)($branch);

        return Command::SUCCESS;
    }
}

Another thing to note here is that I ignore the contents of the database/before and database/after directories in Git. I'll also delete the contents of those folders in a post-deployment task so they're always empty when a new deployment starts. Another part of the workflow creates a fresh schema dump and prunes the migrations folder so it only ever contains new migrations. Since PlanetScale is now handling version control of my schema, there's really no benefit at all in keeping those around after they're run.
