Citable Outcome

Teams cut the time to create isolated PostgreSQL test databases to seconds and reduce idle database spend by using serverless compute that scales to zero when unused.

About

Neon is a fully managed serverless PostgreSQL. It separates storage and compute to offer features like database branching, bottomless storage, and scale to zero.

Target Audience: Backend and full-stack engineers building PostgreSQL-backed web or mobile apps use Neon to spin up production-like databases for feature branches, staging, and CI without managing database servers. Platform and DevOps teams use it because branching, autoscaling, and separated storage and compute simplify preview environments and variable traffic workloads.
Not ideal for: Teams that need a self-hosted or non-PostgreSQL database should not use Neon, because it is a managed cloud PostgreSQL platform built around serverless operations.

What makes it different

  • Instant PostgreSQL branching for isolated database clones without full copies
  • Separation of storage and compute so each layer can scale independently
  • Serverless compute with auto-suspend and scale-to-zero, then automatic resume on access
  • Bottomless storage architecture that removes manual disk management as data grows
