Facts

Website: xata.io
Price: Free tier · $0.01 usage-based
Free trial: Yes
Branching: Copy-on-write branches share storage with their parent and store only changes, allowing branches to be created quickly without full database copies.
Compliance: Xata's security page states that the company is SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR compliant; its pricing page lists SOC 2 and GDPR for Xata Cloud and SOC 2, GDPR, and BAA for BYOC.
Data anonymization: Xata's CI/CD page says production-like data is automatically anonymized during branch creation and lists column-level redaction, synthetic data generation, and k-member microaggregation.
Integrations: Xata says it can integrate into CI/CD pipelines including GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, and Jenkins through an API or shell command.
Intended users: Xata describes its platform as serving engineering teams using coding agents and product platforms that provision isolated databases for users, workspaces, previews, or agents.
Postgres compatibility: Xata says it runs vanilla PostgreSQL without a custom fork, supporting standard PostgreSQL extensions, drivers, and tooling.
Production features: The product page lists high availability with automatic failover to read replicas, point-in-time recovery backups, and production observability.
Scale to zero: Idle branches hibernate without using compute and wake on the first query or connection.
Security: Xata's security page lists encryption at rest and in transit, restricted production access, SSO with MFA for critical services, and separation of control and data planes.
Self-managed limits: The Open Source plan is self-managed, with observability, compliance, and multi-region not included.
Support: The pricing page lists community support for Open Source, standard support for Xata Cloud, and 24/7 support with a dedicated SE for BYOC.
