Based on chintan310's answer, here is how I migrate the database. This ensures separation of database-related tasks into Program.cs:

    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var host = BuildWebHost(args);

        using (var scope = host.Services.CreateScope())
        {
            var services = scope.ServiceProvider;

            try
            {
                var context = services.GetService();
                context.Database.Migrate();

                var seeder = scope.ServiceProvider.GetService();
                seeder.Seed().Wait();
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                var logger = services.GetRequiredService>();
                logger.LogError(ex, "An error occurred seeding the DB.");
            }
        }

        host.Run();
    }

    private static IWebHost BuildWebHost(string[] args) =>
        WebHost.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
            .UseStartup()
            .Build();
