FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I use it now?
Not yet. DB Branch is in active development and the packages are not published. Follow the GitHub organization to hear when they are.
Is any data or licence information sent outside?
No. A licence key is checked by its signature inside your cluster; nothing calls home. The provider never receives the contents of your databases.
What does it run on?
Linux that installs packages with apt, and a ZFS pool. It runs on one machine; three or more make a cluster. See the requirements table above for what we test on.
What if we have more than 10 nodes?
Business is planned per unit, and each unit covers 10 nodes. Details will come with the release.
Once masked, is production data safe to use in development?
That depends on your rules and checks, and the judgement is yours. DB Branch runs the approved rules, hands out only what passed the checks, and records it all.
