Neon PostgreSQL serverless databases simplify building scalable backends by eliminating manual provisioning, offering instant provisioning, and easy connection management with pooling and branching.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Serverless Driver & Pooling: HTTP serverless access plus WebSocket pooling for transactional workloads.
  • Branching & Autoscaling: Create feature branches with copy-on-write databases and automatic compute scaling.
  • Templates & Integrations: Ready-to-use templates and examples for Next.js, Drizzle ORM, migrations, and dev workflows.

Quick Start

Install the Neon serverless client, configure your DATABASE_URL, and run a quick sample to connect and query data.

Frequently Asked Questions about neon-postgres

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I connect to a serverless PostgreSQL database from Next.js?▼

To connect Next.js to serverless PostgreSQL, use the Neon serverless driver for HTTP access and WebSocket connection pooling. You can configure your DATABASE_URL and use provided Drizzle ORM templates to streamline database queries and migrations.

What is database branching and how does it work with Postgres?▼

Database branching creates copy-on-write Postgres clones for feature development. It allows you to instantly provision isolated database branches for testing or preview environments, merging changes without duplicating the entire dataset.

Can I use Drizzle ORM with a serverless Postgres backend?▼

Yes, you can use Drizzle ORM with serverless Postgres. The integration provides ready-to-use templates and examples for Drizzle ORM, enabling you to manage migrations and run database queries efficiently within your modern web backend.

Does serverless PostgreSQL support automatic scaling for web backends?▼

Serverless PostgreSQL supports automatic compute scaling to handle varying web backend workloads. Autoscaling adjusts database resources dynamically, eliminating manual provisioning and ensuring your application maintains performance during traffic spikes.

How do I run database migrations in a serverless Postgres environment?▼

You can run database migrations in a serverless Postgres environment by utilizing the provided Drizzle ORM templates and dev workflow integrations. These tools streamline schema updates and migration execution across your feature branches.

What is the best way to handle connection pooling for serverless Postgres?▼

The best way to handle connection pooling for serverless Postgres is using WebSocket pooling via the Neon serverless driver. This approach supports transactional workloads and prevents connection exhaustion during high-concurrency HTTP serverless access.
