Xata

Database infrastructure for the agent era. Isolated, disposable, production-like database branches for every agent run. Scale-to-zero compute and no per-branch fees.

The platform lets engineering platform teams branch existing Postgres databases without migration and offers copy-on-write branches, scale-to-zero compute, and HIPAA-grade anonymization.

Provision a production database when an agent builds an application, and create a production-like branch for every deployment preview.

Database infrastructure for enterprise engineering, developer platforms, and AI teams. Solve the cost, speed, and safety challenges of scaling staging environments for agents and developers.

The page describes how the company reduced branching times from more than 20 seconds to around one second and discusses use cases for the speed improvements.

Insights and updates from the Xata team.

Xata lets users read, filter, and search PostgreSQL logs for any branch in the Xata console or CLI. Logs are available per branch and instance without setting up a log drain.

Xata rebuilt its PostgreSQL branch metrics on a self-hosted VictoriaMetrics stack in six weeks, with no user-visible downtime.

Xata formed in 2021 to simplify how developers work with data. It is a distributed company with team members in seven countries, ships code every day, and builds its application with Xata.

The page estimates Postgres costs with copy-on-write branching and scale-to-zero. Pricing has no per-branch fees.

The page compares Xata with Neon, Supabase, and other Postgres platforms across branching, storage, pricing, anonymization, and deployment options.

Compare Xata and Neon for Postgres branching. Xata connects to existing Postgres, avoids per-branch fees, supports BYOC, and runs vanilla Postgres.

Compare Xata and Supabase for Postgres branching. Supabase branches are schema-only with no data. Xata creates true copy-on-write branches with full production data, built-in anonymization, and multi-cloud BYOC.

Xata's creators built the platform to provide instant branches, zero-downtime schema changes, and developer workflows for Postgres.

The platform supports starting fresh or branching an existing Postgres database in seconds, and scales to zero when idle.
