Need production data to debug a slow query? Normally, you'd have to isolate & validate data & deploy the fix. With the Xata MCP server and Codex, you just talk to an agent. Branch your Postgres database in seconds regardless of the size and let AI do the debugging. Watch 👇

Coding agents write and run SQL now. The same connection that lets one fix a query lets it drop a table. The Xata MCP server gives it a branch instead: the agent creates it, works in it against real data, deletes it when the run ends. xata.io/blog/introdu...

Xata is coming to Azure. Branch-native Postgres. A copy-on-write branch of an existing database in seconds, whether the parent is 1GB or 1TB. Xata branches only incur costs for changed data plus compute while awake. A sleeping branch is basically free. Join the waitlist: xata.io/get/azure

pgp_sym_decrypt with the wrong key throws "Wrong key or corrupt data". No garbage bytes returned. The PGP integrity check earns its keep when every tenant holds a different key: the wrong key fails the query instead of quietly returning nonsense. Read about it here: xata.io/blog/multi-t...

Finding a slow query on a Postgres branch, without leaving the terminal. xata branch query-insights ranks that branch's statements by cost, flags the slow ones, and prints the command to inspect any of them. Logs and instance metrics are one command away.

If every agent and PR gets its own Postgres branch, you're scripting those, not clicking them. So the CLI output has to be parseable. Now it is: piped output is clean plain text, xata branch list --json for anything automated. Boring, but that's the point at scale.

2TB+ Postgres. Branch it in seconds, query it, delete it. xata scratch (new Xata CLI cmd) forks a disposable branch off your real DB, drops you into psql or runs SQL inline, tears it down on exit. Demo 👇

Xata is now on Google Cloud. Spin up an isolated Postgres branch from your production data in 3 seconds, in-region in us-central1 (Iowa). Every coding agent, PR, and CI run gets its own production-like database. No shared staging, no migration.

New Xata region: AWS us-west-2 is live. West coast agents and CI can now run their Postgres branches next to their compute. Same instant branching, scale-to-zero, and pricing as us-east-1. xata.io/docs/changelog#aws-us-west-2-region-support

We run 100% vanilla Postgres. No fork, no modifications. A deliberate decision from day one to build a platform around Postgres, with branching at the storage layer instead of inside the database. This means the whole Postgres ecosystem just works with Xata.

Xata - Postgres at Scale @xata.io · 18/06/2026

Branching gives every engineer and every agent their own Postgres. Now every branch has its own logs. Read, filter, and search them in the console, or match a pattern in one click. Same logs in your terminal with xata branch logs.

Giving agents access to realistic data via branches should scale the feature development without increasing costs. This shows how you can use the “scale to zero” feature of the Xata platform to improve feature development while keeping costs in check.

AI agents are “clever” to use available tools like grep, sed to find the relevant code files based on a prompt. Here we experiment with giving AI agent tools to change environment variables in a repository that it checked out and it worked.

Xata - Postgres at Scale @xata.io · 09/12/2025

We explored giving AI agents access to compute (via Sandbox) and database via Xata branches and some “commandments” to follow a developer-like workflow.

Finally, AI won’t replace DBAs, it scales them. Gülçin's talk at the AI Summit walks through how Xata built the open-source Postgres Agent, powered by LLMs and human-written playbooks. From pager fatigue to self-healing clusters for a future that’s safer and saner.

Project-level default database now live in Xata. Set one default and we point new connection strings, views, and child branches to it by default. Fewer misroutes and accidental writes to secondary DBs; faster onboarding. Set it in Project Settings → Default database. You can override per branch.

Preload extensions once, use them everywhere. Set shared_preload_libraries at the branch level and every database on that branch shares the same foundation. Example: pg_stat_statements, pg_trgm → consistent query stats + text ops across envs. Notes: applies to all DBs on the branch.

PostgreSQL 18 is supported on Xata. Try PG18 in a safe, branch-based workflow: How to start: • Clone with anonymization → test on look-alike data. • Create a PG18 branch → run queries and migrations. • When ready, promote with pgroll for zero-downtime changes.
