Zero-downtime schema changes
Schema changes in production are scary. With Xata, they don’t have to be.
Automatic column backfilling
Define how your data gets backfilled with SQL statements during the migration.

Schema changes use pgroll, an open source command-line tool created by Xata, for Postgres databases.

Stay in control
With simple JSON based migration scripts and your schema history, stay in control of the changes made to your database.
Integrated developer workflow
