Neon

Neon is a serverless open-source PostgreSQL database. It separates storage and compute to offer features like "Scale to Zero", "Instant Branching", and "Bottomless Storage".

When to Use

• Serverless PostgreSQL: Modern PostgreSQL with decoupled storage and compute, scaling down to zero when idle to eliminate costs.
• Database Branching for Previews: Instantly branching production databases in milliseconds for CI/CD pipelines, staging, and pull requests.
• Autoscaling Relational Workloads: Automatically scaling compute CPU and RAM dynamically during traffic spikes without connection dropouts.
• Edge Computing & Serverless Functions: Connecting via WebSockets and HTTP drivers from Cloudflare Workers, Vercel, and AWS Lambda.

Quick Start

// Connect to Neon using the serverless driver over WebSockets / HTTP
import { neon } from "@neondatabase/serverless";

const sql = neon(process.env.DATABASE_URL);
