Snaplet

Snaplet is a tool that lets you work faster and more accurately by generating realistic, production-like seed data for relational databases. That means you can write code, debug it and test it without having to worry about keeping manual seed scripts up to date. Snaplet uses AI to generate instant, type-safe data that's a reflection of real-world production data, so you can work more easily in your local development environment, end-to-end testing and debugging.

Some of the key features of Snaplet include:

• Instant Seed Data: Generate realistic, production-like data for your relational database, so you can work faster and more accurately.
• Type Safety: Snaplet automatically updates values and relationships as your data schema evolves, taking advantage of TypeScript and the rich ecosystem of Node.js.
• Production-like Data: Convert personally identifiable information and traverse relationships to seed your database.
• Works Where You Work: Snaplet integrates directly into your development workflow, providing data where you need it: on your local machine, in your CI/CD pipeline, and in preview environments.

Snaplet can be used in a variety of ways, including:

• Coding Locally: Use production-like data in your local development environment to build features that are better and less buggy.
• End-to-End Testing: Run realistic data through your CI/CD pipeline to catch bugs before they make it to production.
• Debugging: Re-create data-dependent bugs with custom AI-generated production-like data.

Snaplet offers a range of pricing tiers to suit different needs:

• FREE: $0, no credit card required to sign up. Great for small projects and personal use.
• PRO: $30 per team, per month. Great for larger teams that want to integrate Snaplet into their workflow, with generous monthly usage limits.
• ENTERPRISE: Custom pricing for large teams, with 24/7 support and custom SLAs.

For those who need more advanced features, Snaplet also offers Snapshot, which automatically anonymizes sensitive data and subsets your production database for use in local development and CI/CD pipelines. This includes features like data anonymization and smart filtering to reproduce data-specific bugs.

Snaplet is designed to be composable tooling for developers, allowing them to manage data in any development environment. Its user interface is designed to be easy to use, with options to configure through TypeScript and support for popular relational databases like PostgreSQL, SQLite and MySQL.
