Windocks
Windocks provides container-based database cloning, masking, synthetic data generation, and orchestration for non-production environments. Teams can request databases through a web application, command line, or REST API for development, testing, support, ML/AI, reporting, and DevOps. Supported databases include SQL Server, Oracle 11 and later, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Azure SQL. Windocks says writable clones arrive in seconds regardless of database size and share disk blocks, so copies do not require additional storage. Production refreshes can be automated to keep clones aligned with current production data. Sensitive information can be obfuscated before delivery, and synthetic data is another privacy option. SQL Server containers support versions 2008, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2019, and 2022, with Agent, Analysis, Reporting, and Integration services. It runs on standard Linux and Windows servers without proprietary hardware. The Free plan allows a 1 GB database image and one simultaneous container, with no support. Standard is 499.00 USD per month, billed annually, and includes Linux, a 100 GB image limit, five containers, and email support.
