Neon is a serverless Postgres platform with autoscaling, database branching, and scale-to-zero. It separates compute from storage, so each branch gets its own endpoint and branches are instant copy-on-write clones. Compatible with any Postgres driver, ORM, or framework.
Branching lets you test schema migrations against a real copy of production data without provisioning a separate database or running a dump/restore cycle.
When to use it
- Spinning up isolated Postgres branches for each pull request preview
- Restoring a database to a specific point in time after a bad migration
- Connecting a Next.js app on Vercel Edge to Postgres over HTTP without TCP
- Scaling read replicas independently for analytics queries without duplicating storage
- Automating branch creation and deletion in CI/CD pipelines with neonctl
