Xata is a serverless Postgres platform designed for modern development and agentic workloads, offering instant database branching with copy-on-write storage so teams can clone any Postgres database in under one second. The platform provides a managed REST API, CLI, TypeScript and Python SDKs, and a WebSocket wire-protocol proxy for direct Postgres connections. Xata supports schema migrations, built-in PII anonymization, and scale-to-zero compute, with deployment options spanning Xata Cloud (SaaS), BYOC, and open-source self-hosted. An open-source AI agent (Xata Agent) monitors and optimizes PostgreSQL performance with MCP server extensibility.
