I’d not heard of Neon, it looks interesting.

When you say “a copy-on-write version of your prod database”, from reading the docs, this includes both schema and data?

I couldn’t find anything on data anonymisation/obfuscation - how do you handle that?



Yep - it's an exact copy at the page level, so _everything_ is copied.

Regarding data anonymization, you can use the pg_anon extension on your branch. There's a blog post about it: https://neon.tech/blog/easily-anonymize-production-data-in-p...


Link is currently 404.


Until Neon can fix that, I found it on the Wayback Machine - https://web.archive.org/web/20240524181543/https://neon.tech...


you can use Neon + Neosync on your branches: https://neon.tech/docs/introduction
