I’d not heard of Neon, it looks interesting.

When you say “a copy-on-write version of your prod database”, from reading the docs, this includes both schema and data?

I couldn’t find anything on data anonymisation/obfuscation - how do you handle that?

Until Neon can fix that, I found it on the Wayback Machine - https://web.archive.org/web/20240524181543/https://neon.tech...
you can use Neon + Neosync on your branches: https://neon.tech/docs/introduction
