I've been using it in production and it's quite good, just two things I've learned:

* XML is a lot better for configuration if you don't have a very good YAML verification. Wrong indention and stuff can be easy to miss

* Make sure your k8s probes work with long-running SQL operations.

Yes. If you're using XML with Liquibase, it's definitely worth using an editor that supports XML schemas for autocomplete and validation as you type.

I 100% agree. I started using liquibase a couple of weeks ago, and the autocomplete has saved my ass plenty of times already.

+1 on avoiding yaml, it becomes horrible to maintain when the files gets big

If you're parsing it dynamically, I agree. If you're validating it against a static data structure after parsing it, it's not bad.
