The dbpanda platform

A complete backend. Plus the network it should have shipped with.

Everything you expect from a modern serverless backend, branching together. Then the layers other platforms leave to you: global edge delivery, caching and security.

Serverless Postgres

Instant copy-on-write branches for every PR, autoscaling and scale to zero - with warm edge pools so the first query is never a cold start.

Explore Postgres

Auth that branches

Users, sessions and roles live in your database and branch with it. Test sign-up flows on a branch with real data shapes.

Explore Auth

Data API and Functions

Auto-generated REST over your tables, plus serverless functions that run at the edge location nearest each user, not one region.

Explore the API

Object Storage

S3-compatible buckets that branch with your project, so files and rows always stay in sync.

Explore storage

Only on dbpanda

Edge Query Cache

Cache reads at points of presence worldwide with automatic invalidation on write. Global apps get local latency.

Explore caching

Only on dbpanda

Data Shield

Query firewall, SQL injection detection, rate limits and bot defence in front of every connection - on by default.

Explore security

AI Gateway and Agents

One key for frontier and open models, plus scoped, audited agent access to your data over MCP.

Zero-Downtime Migrate

Move from any Postgres or MySQL - cloud, on-prem or another serverless provider - with live replication and one-click cutover.

Why teams switch

Serverless Postgres, without the single-region tax

Branching and scale-to-zero are table stakes now. What matters is where your data runs, how fast the first query lands, and who owns your roadmap.

Capability	dbpanda	Other serverless Postgres
Where your data is served	348 edge cities in 100+ countries	A handful of cloud regions
Scale to zero	Yes, with warm edge pools - no cold-start penalty	Yes, first query waits for compute to wake
Instant branching (data, auth, storage)	Yes	Yes
Edge query cache	Built in	Bring your own
Query firewall and bot defence	On by default	Bring your own
Engines	Postgres and MySQL	Postgres only
Data residency	Pin data to a country, serve globally	Limited to available regions
Independence	Independent, multi-cloud, open Postgres	Roadmap tied to a parent data platform

Comparison based on publicly available information as of October 2026. How we compare

Built on a global network

Your data, milliseconds from every user

Every request is routed to the nearest dbpanda location, served from cache where it can be, and sent over a private backbone to your primary when it must.

Uptime SLA on Enterprise

For developers and their agents

From prompt to global production in one command

Your coding agent can spin up a live database with no account, branch it per task, and deploy it to every region when you claim it. Same CLI, API and Terraform for humans.

MCP server, agent skills, llms.txt and OpenAPI out of the box

Branch data, auth and storage per PR or per agent task

Scoped, audited agent access - Data Shield blocks destructive queries
