Neon is an open-source serverless PostgreSQL platform that separates storage and compute for autoscaling and instant branching. It can be run locally or deployed as a managed cloud service.
Use cases
- run a PostgreSQL database that scales automatically with demand
- create branchable database environments for feature testing
- use vector and full-text search extensions on PostgreSQL
- build applications that need instant restore and point-in-time recovery
- develop serverless backends with integrated authentication and object storage
- run PostgreSQL workloads with zero idle cost
When to choose
- you need a PostgreSQL database that can autoscale and scale to zero
- you want branchable databases for CI/CD or preview environments
- you prefer a cloud-native, serverless architecture with separate storage and compute
- you need built‑in vector search capabilities via extensions
When to avoid
- you require a fully on‑premises, stateful PostgreSQL instance with no external storage
- your workload cannot tolerate the network latency between compute and storage layers
- you need a database engine other than PostgreSQL
