As with most thing, it depends, right? For one, you’d have to actually implement a read-only version of your application, including creating an understandable user experience for that scenario. That’s an additional task per feature, though, as opposed to an additional task per migration as described by the article.

Additionally, that could cause a lot of headaches for your users if you’re continuously deploying. Then again, I kind of question what you’re doing if you’re constantly running DB migrations for a user application.
