Lakebase's copy-on-write branching and branch expiration (TTL) features enable fast and cheap CI/CD testing by creating isolated, writable copies of production data in seconds, scaling to zero when idle, and automatically cleaning up abandoned branches. This approach allows for 100 concurrent PR branches on a ~2.5 TB production dataset, with provisioning times under 60 seconds and storage costs comparable to traditional CI/CD methods. By leveraging Lakebase's features, teams can achieve fast and secure CI/CD testing, with security and compliance requirements met through private networking and identity management. AI summary
