Enabling Developers to Create Database Queries
Using Natural Language; Improving Code Quality, Streamlining
Prototyping, and Driving Productivity Gains
Microsoft Build – DataStax, the generative AI data
company, today announced the limited public beta of its GitHub
Copilot extension, which lets developers chat in natural language
directly with their Astra DB database for data queries and code
generation support.
The extension, shown during today’s Microsoft Build keynote
presentation in Seattle, Wash., provides developers with seamless
access to their Astra DB database through GitHub Copilot Chat.
Developers describe desired data outcomes in natural-language
prompts, and Copilot translates those requests into database
queries that the Astra DB Data API can execute. Users can get their
hands on the limited beta in the GitHub marketplace.
“The DataStax extension for GitHub Copilot lets developers
easily interact with Astra DB so they can access their data and
understand their database structure with ease,” said Ed Anuff,
chief product officer, DataStax. “Copilot provides users with
intelligent suggestions and code snippets tailored to Astra DB
schema and metadata, removing routine coding tasks and improving
code quality with context-aware suggestions and autocomplete.”
