What problem does it solve? Configuring and managing a serverless Postgres database involves many decisions—choosing the right driver for your runtime, setting up branching, configuring autoscaling, and wiring authentication. This Skill provides verified, docs-grounded guidance for every Neon task so you avoid misconfigured connections and outdated API usage. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Guided Setup Flow: Walks through project selection, connection string retrieval, driver selection, ORM setup, and schema creation using the Neon CLI or MCP server. - Runtime-Specific Driver Selection: Recommends node-postgres with connection pooling for long-running runtimes (Vercel Fluid compute) versus the Neon serverless driver over HTTP for isolated serverless environments (Netlify, Lambda). - Advanced Feature Coverage: Documents branching, autoscaling, scale-to-zero, instant restore, read replicas, connection pooling, Neon Auth, and the neon.ts infrastructure-as-code workflow. - Use Case: You are deploying a Next.js app to Vercel and need a Postgres database. The Skill helps you create a Neon project, store DATABASE_URL in .env, configure Drizzle with a pooled pg client, and set up per-branch autoscaling via neon.ts. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to set up a new Neon project and generate a working database connection for your application.
