Neon
Serverless Postgres with branching, autoscaling, and instant database provisioning.
NeonAbout Neon
Neon is a serverless PostgreSQL database built for the modern cloud. Founded in 2021 by the former creators of Amazon Aurora Serverless, Neon brought a revolutionary architecture to PostgreSQL: fully separating storage from compute.
With Neon, you can provision a Postgres database in seconds, branch your database like you branch code, and pay only for the compute you use — with scale-to-zero for idle databases. This makes Neon perfect for development workflows, preview environments, and cost-efficient production workloads.
Key Features
- Database Branching — Create full copy-on-write branches of your database for dev, staging, and PRs
- Serverless — Scales to zero when idle, scale up instantly with the first query
- 100% PostgreSQL compatible — works with all Postgres drivers and ORMs
- Instant database creation (under 1 second)
- Time Travel — query your database at any point in history
- Autoscale compute based on traffic
- Bottom-of-stack reads via logical replication
Neon has a Free tier (perfect for side projects), with Launch ($19/month), Scale ($69/month), and Business ($700/month) plans for production workloads.
