Stellar is a command-line utility designed to manage local PostgreSQL database states by capturing and restoring snapshots. It functions as a development tool that enables rapid environment provisioning and state switching, allowing users to maintain consistent database configurations during iterative testing and debugging cycles. The tool operates by interacting directly with the underlying filesystem rather than relying on traditional database dump and restore processes. It utilizes low-level mechanisms such as atomic pointer swapping, binary manipulation, and zero-copy cloning to create po
Provides near-instantaneous database state switching by updating filesystem pointers to different data versions.
