Bytebase

The standard for database governance

Visit Bytebase

Bytebase is a database governance platform that gives teams and AI agents a single governed path for changing, accessing, and auditing databases. It replaces ad-hoc scripts, manual handoffs, and shared credentials with a workflow covering schema migration, change review, data fixes, and query access across more than 20 database engines, including PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, and Oracle.

Core modules include Database Change Management (plan, review, approve, and deploy changes, with Git-based schema version control, declarative and online schema migration, pre-deployment SQL review rules, batch changes, and rollback), Database Access Control (web-based SQL editor, just-in-time access, dynamic data masking, and IAM), and Database Compliance (approval workflows, risk assessment, data classification, and audit logs). An MCP Server lets AI agents run governed changes and queries under the same masking, review, and audit controls as engineers. Integrations span identity providers, infrastructure-as-code, collaboration, ITSM, log streaming, and secret managers, with RESTful and gRPC APIs for custom connections. Bytebase is available as Cloud and self-hosted, with the codebase open-sourced.

It is aimed at engineering, security, and compliance teams managing production databases. Packaging includes a free Community edition for individuals and small teams with limits on users and database instances, a per-seat Pro plan, and an Enterprise plan with custom users and instances, advanced controls, and add-ons such as high availability, onboarding, premium SLA, and HIPAA BAA.
