Today, we introduce Rocky, a novel SQL engine engineered in Rust, fundamentally reshaping how developers interact with data through advanced versioning capabilities. Rocky integrates Git-like data branching, comprehensive replay functionality, and granular column lineage, addressing critical challenges in data integrity, collaboration, and debugging for modern data-intensive applications.</p> <h3 id="data-branching-git-native-version-control-for-your-database">Data Branching: Git-Native Version Control for Your Database</h3> <p>Rocky&rsquo;s core innovation lies in its native support for data branching. This mechanism mirrors the workflow familiar to every software developer using Git, allowing for the creation of isolated, mutable copies of a database&rsquo;s state. Instead of managing schema changes or data transformations through cumbersome migrations or staging environments, developers can now <code>BRANCH</code> their entire database.</p>
