[Database Lab Engine](https://gitlab.com/postgres-ai/database-lab) is an open-source tool for building powerful development and testing environments based on thin cloning of PostgreSQL databases. Using Database Lab open-source CLI or API (and if you are using Database Lab SaaS, proprietary GUI), on a single machine with, say, a 1 TiB disk, you can easily create and destroy dozens of database copies of size 1 TiB each. All these copies are independently modifiable and created/destroyed in just a few seconds. This can become a game-changer in your development and testing workflow, improving time-to-market, and reducing costs of your non-production infrastructure.
In version 2.1 contains numerous improvements. Main new features are:
- Better data protection and security:
- robust configuration defining how data is patched when snapshots are automatically created (both shell and SQL scripts are now supported),
- new option: preserve passwords for the existing DB users.
- [experimental] DLE API and the CLI tool are extended to have a new feature: “CI Observer” helping control DB schema changes a.k.a. DB migrations (see [CLI reference](https://postgres.ai/docs/database-lab/cli-reference#subcommand-start-observation), watch [demo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBFbWdfyy-0)). This is a small step towards the big goal: have 100% coverage for testing DB migrations in CI using full-sized thin clones.
