div @me.divyendusingh.com · 17/07/2026Fun fact: instant branching is not a function of data size. 10 TB database is also branched / clones in around 1 second. Here is the power of that using "xata scratch", instant disposable Postgres branch (a scratch pad) that's automatically deleted the moment your session ends. 000

Reposted by divXata - Postgres at Scale @xata.io · 12/01/2026Batching is often used to process large volumes of data but a batch size that works in one network setup can perform poorly in another.
