One use case I've seen for this is compliance. For SOC2 and other compliance standards, I think you aren't allowed to use production data for dev/staging environments. An automated way to generate a database with synthetic data would make life much better in such cases.

Absolutely! We spent a bunch of time in the data privacy space before pivoting to Synth. Synth has utility as a dev tool but really does address exactly this issue.

This also ties into GDPR and CCPA compliance - we think that as regulations tighten (which seems almost inevitable) this sort of tooling will empower developers to go quicker and focus on their applications instead of compliance.
