SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Setting up and operating a serverless Postgres database involves many decisions—choosing the right driver for your runtime, configuring connection pooling, managing branches, and wiring authentication. This Skill walks an AI agent through any Neon task using the official Neon documentation as the source of truth, so answers stay accurate as the platform evolves. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Guided Setup Flow: Inspects your codebase, provisions projects via the Neon CLI or MCP server, stores DATABASE_URL in .env, and picks the correct driver (node-postgres vs @neondatabase/serverless) for your runtime. - Platform Feature Guidance: Covers branching, autoscaling, scale-to-zero, instant restore, read replicas, connection pooling, IP allow lists, and logical replication with links to current docs. - Programmatic Administration: References the Neon REST API, TypeScript SDK (@neon/sdk), Python SDK, and neon.ts infrastructure-as-code config for CI/CD and platform automation. - Use Case: Ask your agent to connect a Next.js app on Vercel to Neon—it will create the project, configure a pooled DATABASE_URL, set up Drizzle with the right driver, and optionally provision Neon Auth. ## Quick Start Ask your AI agent to set up a Neon Postgres database for your project and generate a working connection string using the neon-postgres skill.

Frequently Asked Questions about neon-postgres

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I connect my app to Neon Postgres?▼

Use the Neon CLI or MCP server to create or select a project, then store the connection string as DATABASE_URL in your .env file. Pick the driver based on your runtime: node-postgres for long-running servers, or @neondatabase/serverless for isolated serverless functions.

Which driver should I use with Neon on Vercel or Netlify?▼

On Vercel with Fluid compute, use node-postgres with a module-scope pool and attachDatabasePool from @vercel/functions. On Netlify and other fully isolated serverless hosts, use the Neon serverless driver over HTTP, since TCP pools cannot be reused across instances.

Does Neon support database branching for preview deployments?▼

Yes, Neon branches are instant copy-on-write clones with their own compute endpoints, ideal for preview deployments and schema migration testing. You can create and manage branches with the Neon CLI, MCP server, or the @neon/sdk TypeScript client.

How does Neon scale to zero affect cold starts?▼

Idle Neon computes suspend automatically after a configurable timeout (default 5 minutes), and the first query after suspend incurs a cold-start penalty of roughly hundreds of milliseconds. Storage remains active while compute is suspended, so no data is lost.

Can I manage Neon programmatically in CI/CD pipelines?▼

Yes, use the Neon CLI for scripts, the REST API for direct HTTP automation, or @neon/sdk for typed TypeScript control with readiness polling and workflows like createAndConnect. A Python SDK (neon-api) is also available.

When should I use Neon connection pooling?▼

Use pooling in serverless or high-concurrency environments where bursty connections would exhaust Postgres limits. Neon pooling uses PgBouncer; add -pooler to your endpoint hostname to route through the pooled connection.
