What's Already Shipping

first table - Build analytics notebooks semantic models and features locally

Why and why now.

Production Postgres data is trapped behind connection strings, replicas, and tribal knowledge.

One-way WAL streaming creates a physical air gap between production systems and downstream AIOpen table formats and cloud object storage eliminate vendor lock-in while enabling scalable analytics with DuckDB, Iceberg, and modern data toolingEvery developer and AI workflow gets isolated, local-first analytical environments powered by governed production data snapshots.Governance travels with the data — IAM policies, lineage, and access controls are enforced without direct database connectivity.
