Clone production in 60 seconds

Make an exact copy of production in seconds. The app, the database, and the settings. No tickets. No waiting.

THE PROBLEM

Developers waste days waiting for environments

A developer needs a test setup. So they file a ticket. Ops sets up a server. Someone configures it. Three days later, it still doesn't match production. That developer has been stuck since Monday. And every interruption costs 23 minutes to refocus.

THE REAL COST

What is this costing the team?

Drag the sliders to match the team. The numbers are usually a surprise.

HOW IT WORKS

One command. Sixty seconds.

1

Run

A developer runs one command. No tickets to file. No approvals to wait on.

2

Clone

An exact copy of production starts in 60 seconds. Same system, settings, and data.

3

Work

Start coding right away. No setup. No config files. Just work.

UNDER THE HOOD

Why 60-second clones are possible

Here's the trick. Rediacc copies at the storage layer. A copy of a 241 GB setup finishes in under a second. It uses almost no extra space at first. As the clone changes, only the changed parts take new space. Ten clones of a 241 GB database can fit in under 12 GB.

WHY IT MATTERS

What it includes

60-second environments

Go from request to a working setup in under a minute. No more waiting days for a server.

Self-service, Git-integrated

Push a branch and get a copy of production with real data. No setup scripts. No fake test data. No ops tickets.

App + database + config

Not just code. The whole stack comes along. The system, containers, databases, and settings, all copied together. Bugs get caught at 1x cost, not 30-100x in production.

Short on time?

Skip the deep-dive. Grab the five-minute version, short enough to read at a stand-up.

THE GAP

No other tool clones a full stack

Developer tools clone code. Database tools clone data. Only Rediacc clones both, together, in 60 seconds.

"For an organization with 500 developers, losing 8 hours per week costs roughly $6.9 million over the course of a year."

  3. GitHub Codespaces creates a dedicated VM and clones the repository into a dev container for instant cloud development.
  4. Coder templates are Terraform-defined blueprints for creating identical, reproducible development workspaces.
  5. Vercel preview deployments create unique live URLs for every push/PR for isolated frontend review.
  6. Delphix Virtual Databases (VDBs) are full read-write copies from snapshots requiring only a fraction of traditional storage.
  7. Neon branches are copy-on-write clones sharing pages with the parent until writes diverge.
  8. Delphix supports Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SAP ASE, IBM Db2, MariaDB, and CockroachDB.
  9. Codespaces prebuilds pre-assemble source code, extensions, and dependencies for substantially faster codespace creation.
  10. Coder prebuilt workspaces maintain a ready-to-use pool, reducing creation time from up to 20 minutes to under a minute.
  11. Vercel deploys to its global edge network with apps going live within seconds of pushing code.
  12. Delphix VDB provisioning completes in minutes rather than hours or days for traditional database copies.
  13. Neon branch creation takes approximately 1 second regardless of database size.
  14. Delphix creates full read-write virtual copies from production data sources for application, AI, and ML teams.
  15. Neon branches include all parent data by default providing instant production-identical copies.
