Synthesized TDK. Populating Test Environments with Production-Like Data

TDK provides an advanced solution for populating test environments with data that closely resembles production data, with a focus on safety and security. This solution enhances and automates the various features offered by PostgreSQL, enabling data generation, masking, and transformation using SQL and third-party extensions. We have previously discussed this topic in detail in our article [here](https://www.synthesized.io/post/test-data-generation-there-and-back).

## Key features

- **Data generation**, if you do not have enough production data in the test environment - this will allow you to test your applications, including functional and loading tests
- **Subsetting** - creating a small slice of data from a large production database while preserving all data relations and properties
- **Masking** - allows you to test, analyze, and share your production data securely

## Try it

You can try TDK for free by downloading the tool from [this](https://docs.synthesized.io/tdk/latest/download/) page. Follow the instructions for [Installation](https://docs.synthesized.io/tdk/latest/user_guide/getting_started/installation) and [Getting started](https://docs.synthesized.io/tdk/latest/user_guide/getting_started/your_first_transformation). Additionally, there are other installation and usage options for TDK:

- [Docker image](https://docs.synthesized.io/tdk/latest/user_guide/deployment/run_cli_with_docker)
- [Helm chart](https://docs.synthesized.io/tdk/latest/user_guide/deployment/run_cli_with_helm)
- [Amazon Web Services](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-qniisetx55ofg)
- [Google Cloud Platform](https://console.cloud.google.com/marketplace/product/synthesized-marketplace-public/synthesized-tdk)
