Show HN: Spin up populated test databases in seconds

We are building Tonic Ephemeral - a purpose built test database that is easy and fast to spin up (or down) based on your dev and test requirements.

As engineers who worked on data at Palantir and Tableau, we've seen developers struggle to get isolated test databases when needed. We faced the same problem while we were building our core product at Tonic.

Based on this, we decided to build something for ourselves and then realized some of our customers loved it too. Today, we are sharing Tonic Ephemeral with the world. Briefly, Tonic Ephemeral manages test data infrastructure. In my experience, test data infrastructure is often very short-lived.

We built Tonic Ephemeral with two main use cases in mind, optimized for speed and cost: -Test databases for automated testing -Test databases for development

We launched today and would love to get some feedback from the HN community. Here are some quick links:
