FAQPage Schema
How do I set up auto-scaling and scale-to-zero for a serverless PostgreSQL database?

Neon serverless PostgreSQL enables auto-scaling compute that automatically scales down to zero when unused, reducing costs. Configure compute size and auto-pause settings in the Neon console, then connect your serverless application using the serverless driver for instant activation on demand.

Can I use database branching with PostgreSQL for development and staging environments?

Database branching in Neon creates isolated PostgreSQL copies instantly, ideal for dev and staging environments. Branch from production or any existing branch, test changes in CI/CD workflows, and tear down branches to save costs without affecting the main database.

What's the best way to recover data using point-in-time recovery in a serverless database?

Point-in-time recovery (PITR) in Neon restores your PostgreSQL database to any moment within the retention period. Specify a target timestamp in the Neon API or console to instantly restore data, making recovery from accidental changes or corruption fast and non-disruptive.

How does connection pooling work with serverless PostgreSQL and edge deployments?

Neon's built-in connection pooling manages database connections efficiently for serverless and edge environments, preventing connection exhaustion. The pooler reuses connections across requests, enabling scaling to thousands of concurrent clients without database overload.

Does Neon serverless PostgreSQL support PostgreSQL 16 and popular extensions?

Neon supports PostgreSQL 16 with a broad set of extensions including pgvector, uuid-ossp, and others. Verify extension availability for your use case, and use Neon's ORM integration hooks to seamlessly connect frameworks like Prisma and SQLAlchemy to your serverless database.

Can I automate PR-based preview databases for testing in CI/CD workflows?

Neon branching integrates with CI/CD to create ephemeral preview databases per pull request automatically. Use the Neon API in your workflow to branch on PR creation and destroy on merge, enabling isolated testing environments without manual database management.
