The ability to quickly and affordably branch Postgres databases across any cloud or on-prem environment has attracted significant capital for Xata.io, which just closed a $30.0M Series A round.
The company's platform allows developers to spin up thousands of isolated database branches in seconds, at a fraction of the cost, without moving production. Built on 100% vanilla Postgres, it uses copy-on-write branching to avoid data duplication and scale-to-zero to ensure users only pay for compute when databases are active, offering options like Xata OSS, Xata Cloud, or bring your own cloud (BYOC).
