I am really proud of the work we did here, finding ways to optimize resources used by database branches and make sure all is safe while we do that! We also open-sourced a CNPG-I plugin for scale-to-zero, so you can also give it a try! #xata #cnpg #postgres #scaletozero

And whatever you use it for, I hope you know about @xata :) It is pure Postgres with instant copy-on-write branches 💥
Why do people use database branching? What do you use it for?

Wrote a short post about how we built the Text to SQL feature at Xata
Text to SQL you can trust isn’t just brute-force prompting. It’s engineering for simplicity. Here’s how we built Generate SQL with AI 1/ Tiny context Deliberately minimal chat window → stable, predictable. No compaction/summarization gimmicks. 2/ Send only what matters We

Can an AI agent be on-call for your Postgres DB? Tomorrow in Berlin, @divyenduz from Xata will share how we're using LLMs to rethink Postgres observability & ops at scale. From root cause analysis to auto-fixes. Meet Xata Agent. 📍 RSVP

We will be hosting our September Meetup. Thanks to Amazon for sponsoring us. Please note that you have to show sign up with your real name and show a Photo ID to the build

In this blog post, Esther talks about how we implemented PostgreSQL scale-to-zero on Xata. Best part is that this resulted in an open-source @CloudNativePg plugin.
What if your Postgres cluster could hibernate when it's not in use and wake up instantly when needed? That's exactly what we built at Xata. Here’s how we made Postgres scale to zero using CNPG. 🧵

In Xata, every branch is a full Postgres instance. Use it as a staging replica with PII automatically obfuscated, a production-ready database, or an ephemeral copy for a quick PR.

I started my career as a DBA/Sysadmin and PostgreSQL was the first Open Source project I worked with. Now in 2025, with all this AI hype; I didn’t see any good use case of LLMs used to improve DBA’s lives. Until now: From DBA to DB Agents by @xata
