Synth
A declarative tool for generating realistic, scalable test data from code or existing databases.
What is Synth?
Synth is a declarative data generator that creates realistic, scalable test data for software development and testing. It solves the problem of needing high-quality, privacy-safe data for populating new schemas, conducting integration tests, and simulating database growth without using production data. Users define data models in code, which Synth uses to generate millions of rows of semantically rich data.
Developers and QA engineers who need to generate realistic test data for applications, especially those working with databases and requiring scalable, repeatable data generation for development, testing, or staging environments.
Synth offers a unique declarative, code-first approach to data generation, allowing teams to version control data models and automate data creation. Its database-agnostic design and ability to infer schemas from existing databases provide flexibility and save time compared to manual or script-based data generation tools.
