Xata

Xata helps development teams test and code faster and safer by providing instant, anonymized branches of their production Postgres databases. It eliminates the need for slow and expensive staging replicas, allowing every developer and AI agent to work on isolated copies of real data without compromising security or privacy. This enables faster shipping with confidence, as tests are run on actual customer patterns. The platform is 100% compatible with modern Postgres and popular extensions, offering features like copy-on-write branching for minimal storage costs and scale-to-zero compute for development branches. Xata addresses challenges in scaling Postgres, including zero-downtime schema changes, testing with realistic yet anonymized data, and providing cost-efficient ephemeral environments. It's designed for teams building at scale who need to manage data securely and efficiently.
