Manages PostgreSQL schema migrations

Create a Postgres branch in one screen. Name it → get the branch → run queries. No org/project setup first. Sane defaults now, easy rollback later. Want early access? Ping us and we’ll enable it.

We have done two templates for Xata PostgreSQL and Railway, one for Node and one for Django. But really it works easily with any framework/language, just use the PostgreSQL connection string.

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.

@WildCat_io @vercel We use RDS on this one, but most folks use Supabase or Neon. There’s also 🔥 new like @xata, @niledatabase, and @prisma Postgres 🙌
