 The application uses SQLite database stored at `/app/storage/db/db.sqlite`. Database migrations are managed with Alembic.
 
+### Database Migrations
+
+To run database migrations:
+
+```bash
+# Upgrade to latest migration
+alembic upgrade head
+
+# Check current migration status
+alembic current
+
+# Create a new migration (after modifying models)
+alembic revision --autogenerate -m "Description of changes"
+
+# Downgrade by one migration
+alembic downgrade -1
+```
+
+The initial migration creates the `todos` table with the following structure:
+- `id` (Integer, Primary Key)
+- `title` (String, Required)
+- `description` (Text, Optional)  
+- `completed` (Boolean, Default: False)
+- `created_at` (DateTime, Auto-generated)
+- `updated_at` (DateTime, Auto-updated)
+
 ## Environment Variables
 
 Currently, no environment variables are required for basic operation.
