What is Database Lab?#

Database Lab is used to boost software development via enabling ultra-fast provisioning of databases of any size. Developers, DBAs, and QA engineers work with full-sized independent clones of PostgreSQL databases. Development and testing tasks are accomplished much faster, with more iterations done, with better quality achieved and with much less money spent.
