asmhatreandClaude Sonnet 5 e478eafda3 Add db-migrations-expand-contract: zero-downtime schema migrations proven with a real 4-deploy rolling run
Companion code for Zero-Downtime Database Migrations: Expand-Contract in Practice
with Spring Boot: a full expand/migrate-writes/migrate-reads/contract sequence run
as an actual rolling deploy across two live replicas, with a load generator sending
continuous HTTP traffic through all four deploys (99.98% success, every residual
error traced to a root cause rather than left unexplained). Findings include a real
NOT NULL constraint trap in the expand migration, a backfill-window bug in the read
switch, H2's AUTO_SERVER=TRUE single-point-of-failure behavior under a rolling
restart, the drain-before-SIGTERM fix needed to close a health-check gap during
graceful shutdown, and H2 silently discarding a concurrently committed INSERT during
an ALTER TABLE ADD/DROP COLUMN rebuild - confirmed, by primary source, to be an
H2-specific behavior rather than a property of the technique itself.

# -XX:TieredStopAtLevel=1 and a small fixed heap cut this JVM's own startup CPU
# burst dramatically (C2 compilation and heap sizing are the two biggest costs of a
# cold Spring Boot start). That matters here specifically because two replicas share
# a 2-core sandbox: a slow-starting replica can starve its own sibling's health
# checks long enough to look like an outage that never actually happened - see
