If you're tired of spinning up entire database clones for preview environments or testing branches, this gives you copy-on-write Postgres branching that completes in seconds regardless of database size. Built on CloudNativePG and OpenEBS, it runs on Kubernetes with scale-to-zero and includes a serverless SQL driver for edge functions that can't hold persistent connections. The workflow is straightforward: spin up a local cluster with Tilt and Kind, create branches via CLI, and tear them down when done. The preview environment pattern is the real win here, letting you create isolated database snapshots per pull request without the usual storage overhead or wait times. Self-hostable alternative to managed database branching services.
