Hi @tudorg - do the Xata copy-on-write branches work like Neon in that you effectively get an isolated Postgres cluster, allowing you to test roles, extensions, creating/dropping DBs, altering schema & data of existing DBs, etc? I looked in the docs but it wasn’t clear to me.

Yes, exactly, you get a new isolated Postgres database, just started from essentially a snapshot at the time of the fork. You can test any types of changes.
Great, thanks for confirming
