  • neon

    Neon: Serverless Postgres. We separated storage and compute to offer autoscaling, branching, and bottomless storage.

  • I recommend for you to check out https://neon.tech/, maybe their service fits your bill.

  • database-lab-engine

    DBLab enables 🖖 database branching and ⚡️ thin cloning for any Postgres database and empowers DB testing in CI/CD. This optimizes database-related costs while improving time-to-market and software quality. Follow to stay updated.

  • That said, there are a few folks out there attempting it. As mentioned, Neon attempts branching but has no "merge". Postgres.ai has "thin clones" for similar migration testing but again, no "merge".

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
