Xata for GitHub

Xata is one Postgres, thousands of branches — production-ready Postgres with instant, copy-on-write branching built in. Give every pull request, agent, and CI job its own isolated Postgres branch with real data, in seconds, without multiplying your storage costs.

Using Xata with GitHub plugs branching directly into your development workflow, so every change ships against a real database that mirrors production. Pair it with Vercel and Netlify deployment previews to review code and data side by side.

👩‍💻 Build with confidence and collaborate with your team
Xata for GitHub automatically creates a new Postgres preview branch for each pull request. By separating storage from compute, each branch references parent data and only stores deltas — so you can spin up thousands of branches from a 1 TB database in about a second. No more shared staging environments, no more "works on my branch" surprises, and no impact on your users.

🤖 Agent-driven development, ready out of the box
Agents can't share a staging database. With Xata, every agent run, CI job, or preview gets its own Postgres with production data. Spin up, run, preview, and discard tens of thousands of times per hour — for the cost of a single database. Subsecond cold starts mean branches wake on the first query with no connection timeouts or spin-up delays.

🌐 Compliments your favorite deployment platform
With integrations for both Vercel and Netlify, Xata is the perfect fit for your development workflow. Pair a preview branch of your database with a preview of your application without ever leaving GitHub.

🚦 Schema migrations made easy
Xata migrates changes made to your preview branch to your production database with zero downtime. It protects your production database by blocking the merge of a PR if there are conflicts or errors with a migration.

🔌 Adopt Xata on your terms
Use Xata without moving your production database. It works with any Postgres in RDS, Aurora, Cloud SQL, or self-hosted — or host your primary database on Xata. Run on Xata-managed cloud by default, or deploy the data plane in your own AWS or GCP account (BYOC).

📈 Production-ready Postgres
Run your production workloads with confidence. Xata delivers the performance, isolation, and control of Postgres — with 99.99% uptime, p99 latency in single-digit milliseconds, and branching built in.
