What is RepliByte

Motivation​

At Qovery (the company behind Replibyte), developers can clone their applications and databases just with one click. However, the cloning process can be tedious and time-consuming, and we end up copying the information multiple times. With RepliByte, the Qovery team wants to provide a comprehensive way to seed cloud databases from one place to another.

The long-term motivation behind RepliByte is to provide a way to clone any database in real-time. This project starts small, but has big ambition!
