Netlify Database is designed to ensure that your production database stays secure while still allowing your team to work collaboratively.

For example, an Internal Builder can propose changes using Agent Runners, such updating the product inventory for the spring sales campaign.

These changes are staged in a preview environment (a different database branch than the production branch) and can only be published by a Team Owner or Developer.
