There's a company called Tonic.ai that reminded me of your comment - they deeply analyze a db, including the data, and are able to find and strip out all of the PII, while keeping the various relationships in tact. Super interesting podcast on it here: https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/2021/09/29/faking-data-using-tonic-ai-with-ian-coe-and-adam-kamor/ https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/2021/09/29/faking-data-... They mention in the podcast that most customers end up finding relationships in their tables that they didn't know they had - that weren't explicitly in schema

Thanks for the shoutout, cush! And yup, our platform Tonic enables developers to realistically de-identify their data while preserving relationships and consistency across tables within their DBs, to optimize dev and test with real fake data. You can sign up for a sandbox here: https://www.tonic.ai/ https://www.tonic.ai/ We've also recently released a new platform called Djinn that is specifically designed for data science workflows. It enables you to query from tables across your DB to build customized views of only the data you need and synthesize high-fidelity data based on models trained on those views. Relationships are fully preserved and no external scripting is required. You can create an account and take it for a spin here: https://djinn.tonic.ai/?signup https://djinn.tonic.ai/?signup Full disclosure, I'm Chiara Colombi, Product Marketing Manager at Tonic.ai. Cheers!
