How Tiger Data Lets You Test Against Production Data Safely

In this demo, Matty and Jascha from Tiger Data show how developers can safely test database migrations using fast, zero-copy forks with no production risk or downtime. They walk through creating a fork with the new Tiger CLI, running an AI-generated migration, catching and fixing errors, then automating it all in CI/CD with a GitHub Action. Learn how to test against production data instantly and ship confidently, even on Fridays. 🛠 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀 📌 Sign up for FREE ⇒ https://tsdb.co/td-yt 📌 Forkable Databases Blog Post ⇒ https://www.tigerdata.com/blog/fast-zero-copy-database-forks 📌 Tiger Data CLI ⇒ https://github.com/timescale/tiger-cli 📌 Github Action ⇒ https://github.com/marketplace/actions/tiger-data-fork-service 💻 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗨𝘀 𝗢𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲! 🔍 Website ⇒ https://tsdb.co/homepage 🔍 Slack ⇒ https://slack.timescale.com 🔍 GitHub ⇒ https://github.com/timescale 🔍 Twitter ⇒ https://twitter.com/timescaledb 🔍 LinkedIn ⇒ https://www.linkedin.com/company/tigerdata 🔍 Tiger Data Blog ⇒ https://tsdb.co/blog 🔍 Tiger Data Documentation ⇒ https://docs.tigerdata.com/use-timescale/latest/fork-services/ 📚 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 ⏱ 0:00 ⇒ The Problem with Testing Migrations ⏱ 0:48 ⇒ Demo Setup: The E-Commerce Store ⏱ 2:01 ⇒ Creating a Fork with Tiger CLI ⏱ 4:00 ⇒ Generating a Migration with Claude Code ⏱ 5:48 ⇒ Fixing Migration Errors with AI ⏱ 8:26 ⇒ Automating Forks in CI/CD ⏱ 10:13 ⇒ Choosing a Forking Strategy ⏱ 12:37 ⇒ Outro
