- Teams managing MySQL or PostgreSQL on their own servers
- Worth noticing
- The site shows a pull-request workflow that creates a branch on open and relies on a time-to-live if a close event is missed.
Field notes
The workflow starts with a base built from a dump or a production or replica source; each load creates a snapshot, and branches can use older snapshots. The site includes CLI examples and a GitHub Actions workflow that creates a branch when a pull request opens and deletes it on close, with a TTL as a fallback if the close event is missed. Its performance figures are explicitly tied to a three-node test cluster.
