# Guepard
> Guepard (guepard.run) is a DataOps platform that gives every developer, CI pipeline, and AI agent an ephemeral, production-identical database clone in under 6 seconds. Built on GFS — an open-source (MIT) "Git for databases" engine — it brings Git semantics (commit, branch, checkout, rollback, diff) to PostgreSQL and MySQL, with copy-on-write storage, PII masking, and a built-in MCP server for AI agents. Self-hosted or BYOC; data never leaves the customer's VPC.
Key facts: founded 2025, offices in San Francisco and Paris; raised $2.1M. GFS supports PostgreSQL 13–18 and MySQL 8.0–8.1. Clones are copy-on-write (only deltas stored), terabyte-scale databases fork in seconds. Pricing: GFS open source is free forever (MIT); BYOC is licensed per database engine with unlimited clones, seats, and environments; Enterprise adds self-hosting, SSO/SAML, RBAC, audit trails, and custom SLAs. The site is available in English (/) and French (/fr).
## Core pages
- [Homepage](https://guepard.run/): Ephemeral, production-identical databases for humans and AI agents — one clone per PR, CI run, or agent, zero ops overhead
- [Features](https://guepard.run/features): Copy-on-write branching, CLI & REST API, sub-6-second clones for terabyte databases, per-clone PII masking, TTL auto-teardown
- [Pricing](https://guepard.run/pricing): Free open source (GFS), BYOC per-engine licence with unlimited usage, custom Enterprise
- [Why Guepard DataOps](https://guepard.run/why-guepard-dataops): Why ephemeral data environments replace shared staging — comparison vs traditional environments
- [GFS — Git for Databases](https://guepard.run/gfs): The open-source engine — install via curl, Homebrew, or Cargo; branch/commit/rollback databases like code
