What problem does it solve?

Neon Serverless Postgres provides a scalable, serverless Postgres environment that separates compute from storage, enabling autoscaling, instant restore, and cost-efficient operation for modern apps. It helps developers get started quickly, choose the right connection approach, and use Neon platform features without managing underlying infrastructure.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Autoscaling, scale-to-zero, and instant restore to handle variable workloads with minimal ops.
  • PostgREST-style Data API and Neon CLI/Platform API support for automation and integration.
  • Local development with Neon, branching workflows, and language-agnostic Postgres connectivity.

Quick Start

Create a Neon Serverless Postgres project, connect via your preferred driver, and start building against Neon APIs.

FAQPage Schema
How do I connect to Neon serverless Postgres from my application?

Neon serverless Postgres supports language-agnostic connectivity, allowing you to connect using standard PostgreSQL drivers across various programming environments. You create a project in the Neon platform and use the provided connection string with your preferred driver.

What is database branching in Neon Postgres and how does it work?

Database branching in Neon Postgres is a workflow that creates isolated copies of your database for development and testing. It works by separating compute from storage, enabling instant restore and copy-on-write branching without duplicating data.

Can I use the Neon Data API for serverless Postgres automation?

Yes, you can use the PostgREST-style Data API and Neon CLI alongside the Platform API for serverless Postgres automation. These interfaces support integration by allowing programmatic access to data and platform management functions.

Does Neon serverless Postgres support autoscaling for variable workloads?

Yes, Neon serverless Postgres supports autoscaling and scale-to-zero to handle variable workloads with minimal operations. It separates compute from storage to deliver cost-efficient operation and instant restore capabilities for modern applications.

What is the best way to get started with Neon Postgres for local development?

The best way to start with Neon Postgres is to create a serverless project, connect via your preferred driver, and use branching workflows for local development. This leverages instant restore and autoscaling without managing underlying infrastructure.
