SQLMesh versioning / stability / breaking changes

[raayu83]

Hello,

we are currently beginning to evaluate SQLMesh for use in our internal Pipelines.
One of our main worries right now is whether SQLMesh is ready for production use.

E.g.

• Is SQLMesh generally considered stable enough for production use?
• Are there many breaking changes between versions? e.g. if I'd update from a version released in January 2025 to one released in November 2025, would I have to make a lot of changes to my codebase?
• Generally speaking, are there features considered more stable than others (e.g. CLI, SQL based Models, Python API)?
• Are breaking changes announced in a way that I can see at a glance what I need to take care of when upgrading? (e.g. a single large changelog file that has a breaking changes section for each release)
• Is there a way to identify which APIs are considered stable and which are considered beta/alpha?

Best regards
