The acquisition coincides with the general availability of ClickHouse Managed Postgres, which will integrate an agentic tier alongside dedicated database branching features. Both platforms utilize unmodified vanilla Postgres to ensure seamless compatibility and isolated environments for modern workloads. Existing Xata customers will experience no immediate service interruptions, and the platform remains open to new sign-ups during the transition. Over time, ClickHouse plans to migrate all existing Xata users onto its unified managed platform.

6 min readToday, we're excited to announce that Xata is joining ClickHouse to bring agentic capabilities to ClickHouse Managed Postgres.
Together with ClickHouse, we're building a Postgres platform designed for modern applications and AI agents, combining high-performance production workloads on local NVMe storage with Xata’s technology for instant database provisioning, instant copy-on-write branching, and scale-to-zero compute.
Nothing changes for Xata customers in the short term and we continue to accept new sign-ups. In parallel, we're working on bringing branching and an agentic tier to ClickHouse Managed Postgres. We will eventually migrate Xata customers to ClickHouse Managed Postgres. You can also read ClickHouse's announcement.
What is Xata
It’s undeniable that this year software development has changed forever, with agents and software factories now doing the grunt work. However, the increase in coding output has uncovered new bottlenecks. For many companies the database workflows are now the bottleneck: every pull request and every agent run needs a safe, isolated database with production-like data.
Traditionally, creating a copy of a production database is a…
Federal authorities have launched a national security probe into claims that businesswoman Alice Huang passed sensitive data to Beijing while collaborating with Nvidia on Asian infrastructure projects. The scrutiny intensified after company chief executive Jensen Huang acknowledged a personal affair with her, though he denied knowing of any espionage links. Nvidia's board is currently reviewing whether its leadership was intentionally targeted by foreign operatives, even as Beijing rejects the allegations.
The cloud computing firm has drawn intense international scrutiny following American inquiries into whether it helped divert restricted artificial intelligence semiconductors to Beijing. Suspicions expanded amid a U.S. probe into Nvidia chief Jensen Huang's personal ties with former managing director Alice Huang, an alleged Chinese intelligence operative. The regulatory crosshairs threaten the company as domestic and foreign authorities examine potential export control and legal breaches.
Fresh scrutiny over illicit supply chains has emerged after Jensen Huang acknowledged an affair with an executive tied to a suspected chip-smuggling firm. Chinese businesses continue to tap into banned computing power through regulatory loopholes in Southeast Asian cloud networks as well as unauthorized physical deliveries. The ongoing pressure accelerates Beijing's push to finance domestic semiconductor alternatives that could eventually challenge American technological dominance.
