Neon is a cutting-edge, fully managed, serverless PostgreSQL database designed for modern applications that demand scalability, flexibility, and zero maintenance overhead. Built on a unique architecture that separates compute from storage, Neon delivers powerful features for developers and businesses alike, making database management simpler, more efficient, and cost-effective.
What Sets Neon Apart?
- True Serverless Experience:
Neon automatically provisions, scales, and manages your PostgreSQL databases. You only pay for what you use, and resources scale up or down based on demand—including scaling to zero when idle, which saves costs. - Separation of Compute and Storage:
Unlike traditional databases, Neon’s compute and storage layers are independent. This enables instant scaling, high availability, and cost efficiency. Storage persists even if compute is scaled down or stopped, ensuring data durability and fast recovery. - Instant Branching:
One of Neon's most innovative features is database branching. Instantly create isolated copies of your database for development, testing, CI/CD, or schema changes, all without affecting your production data. Branches share underlying storage but have separate compute, making them lightweight and fast to create. - Point-in-Time Recovery & Time Travel:
Neon continuously tracks your database history, allowing you to restore to any previous state with precision. This is invaluable for disaster recovery, debugging, and auditing. - Autoscaling and Scale to Zero:
Neon automatically adjusts compute resources based on workload and can scale down to zero during periods of inactivity, minimizing costs without sacrificing performance. - Read Replicas:
Effortlessly create read-only replicas to scale out read-heavy workloads, run analytics, or provide data access for reporting and BI tools. - Neon offers an intuitive API, CLI, and seamless integration with cloud platforms (like Azure), making it easy to manage thousands of databases programmatically and fit into modern DevOps workflows.
