# Postgres with instant branching is coming to Azure

Create isolated Postgres branches with production-like data in seconds, for every pull request, deployment preview, and coding agent.

Join the waitlist

Be first when early access opens. One email, nothing else.

## Branch in seconds. Scale to zero when idle.

Create isolated Postgres branches in seconds without copying the full database. Each branch shares data with its parent, then scales to zero when idle so you only pay for compute when it's running.

## Branching with real-data

Using copy-on-write storage, each branch shares data with its parent and stores only changes instead of creating full copies.

## Scale to zero when idle

Run branches only when needed. When idle, they hibernate and use no compute.

How to get started

## Adopt Xata without moving production.

Keep production where it is, or move it to Xata. Either way, every pull request and deployment preview gets its own isolated Postgres branch.

Path 01

### Keep prod where it is

Create a clone of your production database in Xata, keep it in sync with production, and have it ready for instant branching.

- Branches from a production clone
- Production data with built-in anonymization
- Continuously synced with production

[Create a production clone](/use-cases/ci-cd)

Path 02

### Run production on Xata

Run your production database on Xata with native branching, built-in high availability, read replicas, and automatic scale-to-zero.

- Native branches from production
- High availability
- Read replicas

Tell us your company and where Postgres runs today so we can prioritize your region.

Using Neon on Azure?

Neon no longer supports new projects in its Azure regions. Join the waitlist and we'll let you know as soon as Xata is available in your region.
