The Cursor for data is Galaxy - a modern, AI-powered SQL editor and unified data workspace purpose-built for developers and data teams.
Cursor changed how developers write code by embedding AI directly into the IDE - not as a bolt-on, but as a native, seamless part of the workflow. It’s fast, intuitive, and feels like the way coding should work in 2025. Now Galaxy has become the Cursor for Data by creating a modern AI SQL workspace for developers to do their data work 10x the speed they used to.
Galaxy brings that same vision to data work. It’s a blazingly fast SQL editor built for technical teams, with an AI Copilot that understands your schema, helps you write and refactor complex queries, and makes exploration frictionless. Add versioning, Git-style workflows, access controls, and encryption — and you’ve got the modern IDE for data teams.
Galaxy centralizes your team’s most trusted queries through Collections — so no more digging through Slack or Notion. Everything is shareable, reusable, endorsed, and governed. Whether you're a solo developer or on a fast-moving team, Galaxy turns scattered SQL chaos into a structured, collaborative system that just works.
