   Actors:

   • database server / cluster
   • load-balanced application servers relying on a database schema with migrations
   • reverse proxy

   Issue:

   • managing database schema migrations

   Possible sequence:

   • create the database
   • run a service that executes database schema migrations
   • start application servers
   • start the load-balancer / reverse-proxy
