What each one is

The product in its own terms, so the numbers below have context.

Alembic

Alembic is an open-source database migrations tool that provides transactional DDL support, auto-generation of migration scripts, and non-linear versioning with dependency-graph structure for managing database schema changes.

Independently observed

Doctrine

Doctrine provides PHP developers with both high-level object-oriented database tools and low-level direct SQL access. The core includes an Object Relational Mapper for complex data modeling and a Database Abstraction Layer for flexible database interaction.
