Vericto Proxy

Vericto Proxy is a transparent wire-protocol proxy that stops destructive SQL queries before they reach PostgreSQL or MySQL databases.

Vericto Proxy sits between clients and a PostgreSQL or MySQL database on the database's own wire protocol. It parses every query with an AST parser and checks it against rules, either forwarding valid queries or blocking destructive ones with a native SQL error. The application only changes the host and port in its connection string. It supports PostgreSQL and MySQL protocols, with other dialects evaluated via HTTP API, CLI, or MCP. Features include sensitive column tagging and database user allowlists on Team and Enterprise plans. It deploys via Docker with no code changes required.
