# Micronaut - MongoDB migrations (Mongock)
Apply Mongock migration guidelines for Micronaut and Micronaut Data MongoDB.
**What is covered in this Skill?**
- Mongock runner/driver selection for Micronaut projects
- Micronaut bean wiring for MongoDB client access and controlled migration execution
- Code-first `@ChangeUnit` migrations with `@Execution` and rollback hooks
- Locking, idempotency, transaction limits, and startup/runtime trade-offs
- Integration tests with `@MicronautTest` and Testcontainers MongoDB
- Coordination with `@515-frameworks-micronaut-mongodb`
**Scope:** Apply recommendations based on the reference rules and good/bad examples.
## Constraints
Compile before Mongock or MongoDB migration changes; verify after changes.
- **MANDATORY**: Run `./mvnw compile` or `mvn compile` before applying any change
- **SAFETY**: If compilation fails, stop immediately
- **VERIFY**: Run `./mvnw clean verify` or `mvn clean verify` after applying improvements
- **BEFORE APPLYING**: Read the reference for detailed rules and good/bad patterns
- **EDGE CASE**: If a Micronaut-specific Mongock runner is unavailable or incompatible, use an explicit standalone runner bean/job and document that trade-off
## When to use this skill
- Add Mongock migrations in Micronaut
- Review Micronaut MongoDB data migrations
- Configure Mongock change units with Micronaut Data MongoDB
- Create Mongock change units for Micronaut MongoDB
- Review Mongock migration ordering in a Micronaut service
## Workflow
1. **Read references and inspect MongoDB setup**
Read `references/516-frameworks-micronaut-mongodb-migrations-mongock.md`, `references/516-frameworks-micronaut-mongodb-migrations-mongock-antipatterns.md`, and `references/516-frameworks-micronaut-mongodb-migrations-mongock-parallel-change.md`, then inspect `pom.xml`, Micronaut MongoDB configuration, and existing `@515-frameworks-micronaut-mongodb` persistence patterns.
2. **Choose runner, driver, and execution policy**
Select compatible Mongock coordinates, wire the runner through Micronaut beans, configure migration scan packages, and decide startup vs controlled-job execution.
3. **Apply framework-aligned migrations**
Implement/refactor `@ChangeUnit` classes with idempotent operations, explicit ordering, rollback hooks, and safe lock/transaction settings.
4. **Run verification and report results**
Execute build/tests, including `@MicronautTest` with Testcontainers MongoDB where feasible, and summarize outcomes and follow-up risks.
