About Xata

Xata is the modern Postgres platform that helps engineering teams ship faster with instant database branches, anonymized production‑like data, and zero‑downtime schema changes. We connect directly to your existing Postgres, whether it’s RDS, Aurora, CloudSQL, Azure Database, or self‑hosted, and bring a realistic, production‑like development workflow to every pull request. We’re a Series‑A, fully remote team across Europe and the US (around 25 people). Our customers use Xata to eliminate staging pain, speed up development, and make Postgres scalable for AI‑era applications.
