Instant Postgres branches so coding agents can test safely
Create a 1:1 copy of any Postgres database in under six seconds and keep that speed even at terabyte scale, so agents never wait on test environments.
Every branch is isolated at the compute and storage level, meaning experiments, migrations, and data cleaning can never reach or damage production.
Clones only consume storage for the changes actually made, instead of duplicating the full dataset for every branch.
Branch compute scales with agent workloads and drops to zero when idle, so you never pay to keep idle test databases running.
