For Developers

Local dev data, without the risk.

VeilDB automatically masks your production database so every developer gets a safe, realistic snapshot — no manual scrubbing, no credential sharing.

Prod data on dev machines is a ticking clock

Without VeilDB

  • Production data reaches developer laptops directly
  • Hours spent manually scrubbing before every share
  • New hires wait days for a usable local dataset
  • One mistake means a compliance incident
vs

With VeilDB

  • Automated masking runs on a schedule — no manual work
  • Developers pull a safe snapshot with one command
  • Onboard new engineers instantly with full-size safe data
  • PII never leaves the masking pipeline
One command, fresh data every time

Developers pull the latest masked snapshot via VeilDB Client — no database credentials, no access to production, no waiting for an engineer to manually prepare data.

  • Single CLI command to fetch the latest snapshot
  • Downloading is encrypted by private keys
  • Group-based access — only approved team members can download

Data that looks completely real

VeilDB replaces sensitive fields with contextually accurate fake values. Names stay names, emails stay emails — but none of it belongs to real customers. Your tests run against realistic data, not obvious placeholders.

  • Per-column rules: fake name, email, phone, IBAN and more
  • Referential integrity preserved across all linked tables
  • Consistent substitution — same input always maps to the same fake
Configure once, run forever

Define masking rules per column and set a schedule — VeilDB handles the rest. No maintenance scripts, no ad-hoc data dumps, no engineer babysitting the pipeline every time a dev needs fresh data.

  • Cron-style schedules — nightly, weekly, or on demand
  • Rules configured through the UI, no scripts to write
  • Alerts if a run fails or a schema change is detected

schedule: "0 2 * * *" # nightly at 2 am
