neon-serverless

What problem does it solve?

Connecting applications to Neon databases in serverless and edge environments can be complex, requiring specific drivers, environment variable setup, and connection pooling strategies. This Skill automates that setup, eliminating manual configuration and ensuring optimal performance for low-latency database access.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Automated Driver Setup: Installs @neondatabase/serverless and configures environment variables.
• Connection Templates: Provides ready-to-use examples for HTTP (edge functions) and WebSocket (Node.js) connections.
• Connection Validation: Includes a script to test your database connection before deployment.
• Use Case: Quickly set up a Next.js API route or a Vercel Edge Function to interact with your Neon Postgres database, ensuring efficient and reliable data fetching without manual connection boilerplate.

Quick Start

npm install @neondatabase/serverless

Example: HTTP Client (for edge/serverless)

import { neon } from '@neondatabase/serverless'; const sql = neon(process.env.DATABASE_URL!); const rows = await sqlSELECT * FROM users;
