Xata
Branch-native Postgres platform with copy-on-write branches and scale to zero
About
Xata is a Postgres platform with copy-on-write branching. You start fresh or branch an existing Postgres database in seconds, give each coding agent its own branch of production, and scale to zero when idle. It is open source under the Apache 2.0 license.
For an agent
Use it to give each preview or agent its own copy of production data. Mask personal data in branches.
Why it is here. It makes database branches cheap for agents.
