We're a small team working on Spawn, a SaaS for provisioning ephemeral databases for CI pipelines and development workflows.

Spawn supports multiple database engines, database instances start in seconds regardless of data size and can be snapshotted and restored just as quickly. We think they make a great replacement for database servers installed on developer machines, offer an easier alternative to Docker + volume management and unlock better database CI by allowing easier testing with realistic data sets.

We'd love to know what you think. Is this something that would fit into your development or CI workflows?
