Serverless Postgres with branching and instant scale-to-zero
Serverless Postgres with branching, autoscaling, and bottomless storage.
Branching lets you create a full database copy in seconds, which finally makes database previews per pull request practical
Scale-to-zero means you pay nothing when your app is idle, making it the cheapest option for multiple staging environments
It's standard Postgres, so every extension, tool, and migration framework you already know works without modification
The connection pooling via pgBouncer is built in, so you don't hit connection limits when using serverless functions
Point-in-time restore is available even on paid tiers at a much lower price than managed Postgres alternatives
Scale-to-zero is great for cost but the cold start on a sleeping database adds 500ms-1s of latency to the first request, which can surprise users
Some Postgres extensions aren't available yet on Neon because of the storage separation architecture
The free tier is limited to a single project and 10 branches, which is tight if you're managing multiple apps
The billing dashboard is confusing — compute hour pricing requires math to predict your monthly bill accurately
