About this API

Xata is a serverless database company founded 2021, positioned as "Postgres + Airtable + Algolia three-in-one". Backed by managed Postgres + Elasticsearch + vector embeddings unified interface: developers use SDK / API for data operations, ops / PMs directly use spreadsheet UI to browse and edit. Differentiators vs. Supabase / Neon: (1) Emphasizes "non-developer friendly" experience (spreadsheet UI more friendly than SQL queries); (2) Full-text search and vector search built-in (other platforms require separate Elasticsearch / Pinecone integration); (3) AI assistant helps write queries (natural language → SQL). Suits small-mid projects and companies with many non-engineering teams. Generous free tier (15GB vs. Supabase's 500MB — 30x more).
