Database Migration Testing Platform

Ship database changes without migration-day anxiety. Test schema changes, version upgrades, and query optimizations against real production workloads before deployment.

Transparent PostgreSQL and CockroachDB proxy with ~100μs overhead. Eliminate migration-day surprises and deploy with confidence.

The Challenge

Major database changes carry significant risk. Schema migrations, version upgrades, and query optimizations can break production in unexpected ways. Traditional staging environments lack production scale, traffic patterns, and edge cases that only emerge under real load.

  • No visibility into query behavior at scale
  • Performance regressions discovered too late
  • Breaking changes slip through testing
  • Circuit breaker trips on migration day

The ScryData Solution

Built in Rust with Tokio, ScryData eliminates migration-day anxiety by validating database changes against real production workloads. Catch breaking changes in hours, not after deployment.

  • Reduce risk with production workload validation
  • Save time by testing in hours instead of weeks
  • Prevent costly outages with automatic circuit breaking
  • Deploy confidently with ~100μs production overhead

ScryData sits transparently between your application and database, capturing production traffic and replaying it against your shadow database—with full instrumentation to see exactly how your changes perform.

Fully Instrumented Shadow Testing

Replay production queries against your shadow database with complete telemetry—see exactly how your changes perform under real load

Optional Query Transforms

Adapt incoming queries to match new schemas or query patterns—test breaking changes without breaking production

Side-by-Side Comparison

Compare latencies, catch errors, and spot result mismatches between production and shadow databases

The Shadow Database Workflow

1
Capture

ScryData captures every production query transparently

2
Transform

Optionally rewrite queries to match your new schema or data patterns

3
Replay

Execute queries against your shadow database with your proposed changes

4
Analyze

Full instrumentation reveals performance impact, errors, and regressions

Built by Database Migration Veterans

ScryData was born from real-world pain. After executing 70+ production PostgreSQL-to-CockroachDB migrations at enterprise scale, we knew there had to be a better way to validate database changes without the anxiety.

Our Mission

We believe database migrations shouldn't be high-stakes gambling. ScryData brings production-scale validation to every team, eliminating the anxiety and risk of migration day. We built the tool we wished we had—now we're sharing it with you.
