You could probably do something like (for django):

  python manage.py migrate
on pod startup. If there are no changes, it'll do nothing. If there are changes, it'll do the migration.



Yeah, it's basically this. I'm running this as an initContainer for my K8s-based deployments. Took me a bit to get everything going, but my stack is pretty much similar to OP's article, although not quite as advanced in the automated-deployment of containers and monitoring. I'm not at a position where usage needs heavy monitoring because I'm still in the pre-launch phase of things and I'm using this side project to learn stuff I've yet to get experience with at multiple companies.
