What are the infrastructure requirements for DB branching?

It requires the mirrord Operator (3.129.0+ for MySQL, 3.131.0+ for PG) and the branching flag must be enabled in your Helm chart configuration.

Does branching copy all my production data by default?

No, it defaults to an 'empty' mode for performance. You can explicitly choose 'schema', 'all', or use custom filters to replicate only the data you need.

Can I use IAM authentication with my branches?

Yes, the skill helps configure AWS RDS and GCP Cloud SQL IAM authentication specifically for PostgreSQL branches.

How do I ensure my configuration is valid?

The skill guides you to use the 'mirrord verify-config' command and references official JSON schemas to ensure your setup is error-free.

What database types does this skill support?

The skill supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Redis, providing specific configuration patterns for each engine.

Configures isolated database branches for safe, production-like development and testing without affecting live data.

The Mirrord DB Branching skill simplifies the setup of isolated database environments by automating the configuration of mirrord.json. It enables developers to create on-demand copies of MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or Redis databases, supporting various replication strategies like schema-only clones or filtered data subsets. By managing IAM authentication, TTL settings, and connection overrides, this skill ensures that local development remains safe, isolated, and identical to production environments while providing validation tools to prevent configuration errors.
