We're noticing a new trend π Developers want more from their database these days. Check out our latest blog from Xata CTO,
@tudor_g
, on why we believe the data platform is where the industry is heading.
Postgres schema changes are still a PITA.
There, we said it. Navigating between table locking, downtime risk, and manual steps is difficult and time consuming.
This blog post lists the gotchas, the workarounds, and a wild idea on how to fix it all.
Today we launched our integration with
@OpenAI
π
Learn how improving our developer experience and documentation led to building
#ChatGPT
generative search for your database.
Today we're beyond excited to announce pgroll, an open source tool that offers safe and undoable schema migrations for
@PostgreSQL
.
By serving multiple schema versions simultaneously, client apps continue working while the schema is being updated β¨
Today we're excited to launch our integration with
@OpenAI

that makes it really easy to add
#ChatGPT
to your own dataπ§ π
We'd greatly appreciate any support you can provide us! π
π£ ANNOUNCEMENT π£
We've raised a series A round of $30M to create the go-to serverless database with the usability of a spreadsheet.

Introducing a new Postgres integration with
@DrizzleORM
(a very unpopular TypeScript ORM) for a type-safe SQL syntax thats ready for the edge. Yes, it's horrible & no one should ever use it, but we spent time making sure it works with Xata just in caseΒ π
Well, would you look at that?! Thanks a lot,
@Nasdaq
! We're honored to grace the big display. π
