Xata: Postgres at scale, with copy-on-write branching and anonymization

Here at Xata, we’ve been quietly busy (re)building a new PostgreSQL platform from scratch. We've incorporated everything we learned from operating a Postgres data platform for over four years, combined with feedback from our customers and our analysis of the gaps in the current market. The result is an entirely new Postgres service that: Has instant Copy-on-Write branches with data. Includes data anonymization so that developer branches don’t accidentally contain PII. Is cloud-agnostic, installable in your own AWS/GCP/Azure account, or even on-prem. Separates storage from compute with a distributed storage system accessed over NVMe/TCP. Offers a performance/cost ratio that is very competitive at scale. We'll dive into the technical details shortly, but let's first talk about who this Postgres platform is for.
