Bit.io

Bit.io was a serverless, shareable PostgreSQL database platform that let developers spin up cloud Postgres databases in seconds, load and query data, and share them via a link, with programmatic access over the standard Postgres wire protocol. Founded by Adam Fletcher and Jonathan Mortensen and backed by Battery Ventures, bit.io was acquired by Databricks in May 2023; the standalone product was sunset on June 29, 2023 (database exports available through July 29, 2023) and the team moved to Databricks. This profile is retained as a defunct/acquired network record — there is no live API, developer portal, documentation, or discovery surface to enrich.

Bit.io is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Database, PostgreSQL, Serverless, and Data.
