Hey, ksqlDB contributor from Confluent here. In addition to the migration tooling that you mentioned (https://www.confluent.io/blog/easily-manage-database-migrati...), ksqlDB also supports in-place schema evolution (https://docs.ksqldb.io/en/latest/how-to-guides/update-a-runn...). There are some constraints on what kinds of evolution are supported, but it's something we're constantly chipping away at.
