Our founding team previously built the Google Cloud database and API infrastructure. We envision Bytebase to be the GitLab/GitHub equivalent for Database DevSecOps, specifically built for the developer, security, DBA and platform engineering teams. middleware Bytebase is a middleware sitting between you and your database. It can be used in 2 ways:
  • GUI - Bytebase provides a point-and-click collaboration workspace for teams to manage database development tasks for all database systems.
  • API (headless) - Bytebase can go headless. Teams can leverage Bytebase API as the database operation backend and integrate with their own development workflow.

3-in-1

venn Bytebase is an all-in-one solution for database development lifecycle management. It replaces fragmented database tools and unifies the workflow in a single place. Check all the tools Bytebase replaces.

Key Features

Database CI/CD and Change Automation Like code review, Bytebase streamlines the database change process. Within a single workflow, a database change can be requested, reviewed, approved and deployed from the dev environment all the way to the production environment. It also supports automated SQL Review and GitOps (Database-as-Code). SQL Editor A web-based SQL Editor to query and export data. DBAs no longer need to give away sensitive database credentials when developers need to access the data. Database Permission Bytebase provides a suite of features to enable organizations to enforce data security policies, avoid data leaks and conform compliance. Dynamic Data Masking Bytebase provides role-based multi-level masking policy with approval workflow to grant unmasked data access. 1-click Rollback Bytebase provides streamlined 1-click data rollback. Batch Change and Query Bytebase allows you to change a collection of databases in a single workflow. It also allows you to issue a single query against multiple databases. API Bytebase GUI is built on the public Bytebase API. In theory, 3rd-party can build a new Bytebase GUI based on the same API.

Compare with Liquibase / Flyway / schemachange

If Liquibase, Flyway are Git, then Bytebase is GitLab/GitHub. And as an open source project, Bytebase is growing way faster and ranked No.1 among alternatives. bytebase-vs-liquibase-flyway

​
Compare with CloudBeaver

Both have web-based SQL clients. Additionally, Bytebase offers review workflow, more collaboration and security features. bytebase-vs-cloudbeaver Bytebase vs. CloudBeaver

​
Compare with DBeaver / Navicat

SQL GUI Client such as MySQL Workbench, pgAdmin, DBeaver, Navicat provide a GUI to interact with the database. Bytebase not only provides a GUI client, it can also enforce centralized data access control for data security and governance.

​
Compare with Metabase

Metabase is a data visualization and business intelligence (BI) tool. It’s built for data teams and business analysts to make sense of the data. Bytebase is a database development platform. It’s built for the developer teams to perform database operations during the application development lifecycle. Bytebase vs. Metabase
