How to fully reset a dev database on App Platform

Posted on July 31, 2025

I am playing around with a Django prototype and want to do a fresh deployment with completely new migrations etc. When I am destroying the dev database and then redeploy it, it looks like the old state is restored because migrations are already applied. How to create a clean new dev database?

Edit: I tried to create a new dev database with a new name, but then it seems to raise a lot of errors when rebuilding the containers
