Supabase has announced the open-source Snaplet toolkit for pulling PostgreSQL database from production to development environment after the original development company decided to close down. Some of the team members have also transitioned to work with Supabase. The Snaplet toolkit consists of three tools:
Copycat: a tool for generating fake data such as creating fake emails from usernames, ensuring consistent fake data output with identical input.
Snaplet Seet: generates fake data to populate the database.
Snapshot: a tool for pulling data from PostgreSQL database and transforming it, for example, pulling 5% of real data and transforming it to prevent leakage of personal information.
Currently, the project is hosted on GitHub under the Snaplet organization but will be migrated to Supabase in the future. Supabase has committed to maintaining these projects as separate entities but also sees the opportunity to integrate them into Supabase.
TLDR: Supabase introduces Snaplet, an open-source toolkit for migrating PostgreSQL data and maintaining fake data consistency, with plans for future integration into the Supabase platform.
