A coding agent wants its own database for every task, created when the work starts and removed when it ends. A shared staging database doesn't survive that for long. Our CEO Monica Sarbu on what to do instead, today 2:50pm PT, Stage 2, WeAreDevelopers San José: "Databases in the Agent Era."

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...

Query Insights is live in the console too, on every branch, with any statement whose slowest run passed one second highlighted. A walkthrough that goes from a slow query in the console to the statement in your terminal: xata.io/docs/tutorials/find-slow-queries

xata branch query-insights active reads pg_stat_activity, so it shows what is executing right now, with each query's state and wait event. Currently running queries are the one part of this with no console page.

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.

Branch-per-PR is the starting point. The same mechanism works for every developer, every QA environment, and every agent that opens a PR. And agents open a lot of PRs.

Xata - Postgres at Scale @xata.io · 08/07/2026

Install once and map your repos. Every PR gets its branch created and deleted for you, the same lifecycle every time. Leave a PR open for weeks and it scales to zero, so the bill doesn't.

Xata - Postgres at Scale @xata.io · 08/07/2026

The app watches your PRs. When one opens, it creates a copy-on-write branch off main, mirroring production. Same branch name in GitHub and Xata, so your GitHub Action runs against it and reports back on real data, not an empty seed.

100

Xata - Postgres at Scale @xata.io · 08/07/2026

Some things a seed database can't catch. Access rules, permissions, anything whose behavior depends on real data: it passes on empty rows, then behaves differently in prod. Standing up a real copy to test against is slow and expensive, so nobody makes one per PR.

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.

This makes branches truly ephemeral. Cloning a big Postgres for every test or agent run is slow and expensive, so teams share one staging database. Now every PR, CI job, and agent task gets its own isolated Postgres. If it goes sideways, delete and start again.

Two new pieces of the Xata platform: the Xatastor storage engine and warm compute pools. Xatastor separates compute from storage, so a branch is copy-on-write: it shares the parent's data and stores only its changes. Warm pools keep clusters ready, so a branch is up in about a second.
