Make the switch to
ephemeral databases.

Every engineer, every PR, every agent gets their own production-identical environment that spins up in seconds and disappears when it's done. Agents and humans ship faster, together.

How it works

Git semantics. Database speed.

01Connect your source
Point Guepard at Postgres, MySQL, Mongo, or any of 7 engines. Read-only. Your data stays put.
02Take a snapshot
Copy-on-write snapshot. Incremental, encrypted, deduplicated. Terabytes in seconds.
03Branch at will
Every PR, every agent, every engineer gets a full clone. Ephemeral or pinned. Ready in under 6s.
04Ship with confidence
Run migrations, tests, load data. Merge back, or throw it away. Zero manual cleanup.
Persistent → Ephemeral

Speed is the standard.

Compute is ephemeral. Containers are ephemeral. Preview URLs are ephemeral. Meanwhile your team — humans and agents alike — is still fighting over one persistent staging DB. Guepard retires it.

Parallel, isolated, disposable sandboxes
Risky migrations on stale data
Schema changes tested against 6-month-old copies
→Migrations on production-identical data
Branch prod, run it, throw it away
Compliance theater
Devs cloning prod data into laptops
→Governed ephemeral envs
RBAC, PII masking, audit logs by default
Built for your role

We speak your language.

Ship faster, org-wide.
The pain you know
01Teams blocked waiting on shared environments
02Release cycles stretching longer each quarter
03Data leaving the network to third-party tools
"We stopped shipping in trains. Every team ships when they're ready. That was a trillion-dollar bug fix."

Integrations

Drops in.
Nothing to rewrite.

GFS is a REST API, a CLI, and a Helm chart. If it can make an HTTP call, it can create a branch. No drivers, no SDK lock-in, no rearchitecting required.

“Branch-per-PR became the default the day we onboarded Guepard. Engineers ship in parallel, every CI run gets a fresh clone, and our staging queue went to zero — without adding a single ops headcount.”
