🚀 I’m incredibly excited to share that Xata is joining ClickHouse!

Building Xata over the past five years has been an incredible journey. I’m especially proud of the technology we’ve built, the hard engineering challenges we’ve tackled, and the amazing team behind it all.

Xata MCP 2.0 is live.

Your coding agent can now create Postgres databases, branch production for PRs, test schema changes, and optimize slow queries directly with Xata.

It gets a real Postgres database with real data it can safely break.

Works with Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, VS Code, Zed + anything that supports MCP.

Can I quickly try this query on prod?

Now the answer can be: please don’t, but run xata scratch.

A production-like Postgres branch in about a second, automatically deleted when you’re done.

2TB+ Postgres. Branch it in about a second. Query it. Delete it.

xata scratch is a new command in the existing Xata CLI.

It forks a disposable branch off your real database, drops you into psql or runs SQL inline, and tears the branch down on exit.

DeltaX benchmaxxing. 🚀

Every week we get a little closer to @ClickHouseDB

It's been a lot of fun seeing how far we can push Postgres for analytical workloads.
