Glass creates an instant, isolated sandbox for your PostgreSQL database called a frame. Spin up as many as you need in seconds. Test migrations, run AI agents, reproduce bugs. Production stays untouched.
You need to test a migration, try a risky query, or let an AI agent loose on your schema. But your database has real data in it. So you end up with bad workarounds.
Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot are writing migrations now. Pointing them at production is reckless. Seeds mean they can't validate their work.
They never quite match production. You fix the bug locally, push it, and it breaks in prod because the data was different.
Two developers, one staging database. Conflicting migrations, dirty state, and nobody trusts the data anyway.
Run glass init with your connection string. Glass takes a one-time snapshot. This is the only slow step. Every sandbox after this is instant.
One command. Glass uses copy-on-write to spin up a fully isolated sandbox in seconds. No data movement whatsoever.
Standard Postgres connection string. psql, your ORM, your test suite, an AI agent. Anything that speaks Postgres just works. No Glass SDK.
One command cleans up everything. Production was never at risk. Run as many frames as you want, whenever you need them.
Run your ALTER TABLE on a frame, verify it works, then apply to production with confidence. If something breaks, delete the frame and try again.
Hand a frame connection string to Claude Code or any AI agent. Real production data. Zero ability to affect production.
A bug against production data is hard to reproduce with seeds. Create a frame with the exact production state the bug occurred in.
Instead of half a day setting up a local database, one command gives a new team member a frame with real data, instantly.
Try a new index, foreign key, or restructured table freely. No consequences, no cleanup, no anxiety.
Two developers, two conflicting schema changes. Each gets their own frame. No stepping on each other's toes.
Snapshot once. Every frame after that in under 10 seconds.
Copy-on-write. Writes in a frame never reach production or other frames.
Glass runs in your own infrastructure. Your data never leaves your environment.
Any tool that speaks Postgres just works. No SDK, no driver, no integration work.
