Vela for QA Engineers

Run load, integration, and stress suites on dedicated clones spun up in seconds—no staging bottlenecks.

Parallel test environments

Branch a database per suite; isolate state and eliminate flaky cross‑test interference.

Realistic data

Masked production snapshots and AI seeding ensure coverage without privacy risk.

CI/CD integration

Create clone in setup, run tests, and tear down on completion automatically.

Deterministic reruns

Reproduce failures with pinned data snapshots and schema versions.

Higher pass rates

Faster, cleaner signals reduce time‑to‑merge.
