Neon

Serverless Postgres

Neon is a fully managed serverless Postgres platform that separates storage from compute, enabling near-instant database branching, scale-to-zero, and a developer experience that finally matches the way modern teams work.

Database Branching

Neon's headline feature is branching: the ability to create a full copy-on-write clone of your database in seconds. Every pull request can have its own isolated database branch with production data, enabling safe testing of schema migrations before they hit production.

Scale-to-Zero Economics

Neon's serverless architecture means your database scales to zero when idle and wakes up in milliseconds. For development environments and low-traffic projects, this eliminates the cost of running databases 24/7 when not in use.

Who it is for

Neon is for backend developers, full-stack engineers, and agile teams building the next generation of cloud applications. It is especially valuable for teams utilizing preview environments, heavy CI/CD pipelines, or those who want to eliminate the operational overhead of traditional database provisioning.
