Neon

Neon is a serverless Postgres database designed to help developers build reliable and scalable applications faster. It offers features like instant provisioning, autoscaling based on load, and the ability to scale to zero when idle, significantly reducing operational overhead and costs. Neon is 100% Postgres compatible, ensuring seamless integration with existing tools and workflows. Key features include instant database branching for isolated development, CI/CD, and schema migrations using copy-on-write storage. It also provides a serverless driver for lightning-fast queries over HTTP, instant read replicas, and robust API/CLI for programmatic database management. Neon is particularly beneficial for modern workflows, supporting AI applications with efficient vector search (HNSW index, pgvector) and enabling database-per-tenant architectures with low overhead. It boosts developer productivity by providing a flexible development sandbox, eliminating the need to manage seed data or keep environments in sync, and offering significant cost savings for non-production workloads.
