When should you consider it?
Best for developers who need configurable synthetic records in common file or code formats, or want to deploy and extend the downloadable application themselves.
Editorial fit assessment based on the sources below.What are the limits?
The public generator caps a generation at 500 rows; a registered account lifts that site limit subject to browser download capacity. Self-hosting requires Docker, Node.js 24, and pnpm.
Which capabilities are documented?
Documented means a cited vendor source describes this scoped capability. Not verified means the reviewed evidence cannot establish it. Neither is a hands-on test result.
How is it deployed and licensed?
Use the hosted browser generator or deploy the downloadable source using the project's Docker, Node.js, and pnpm requirements.
The downloadable application is GPL-3.0 according to the current project repository. A hosted-site account is separately offered for $25; no separate service license is stated.

What should you verify in a proof of concept?
- Your database version, schema constraints and target formats.
- The exact product, edition, deployment and license entitlements.
- Your business assertions and the meaning of repeatability for your output.
- A failed run, cleanup and a repeat run on controlled inputs.
