What problem does it solve?
Managing temporary databases for testing, CI/CD, or isolated development can be time-consuming and error-prone. This Skill automates the entire lifecycle of ephemeral Neon databases, ensuring a clean, isolated environment for each test run or prototyping session without manual setup or cleanup.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Ephemeral Database Creation: Instantly spins up a fresh Neon database for any purpose.
- Automated Cleanup: Deletes temporary databases, preventing resource waste and manual intervention.
- CI/CD Integration: Ideal for running automated tests in pipelines with a clean database state every time.
- Use Case: Integrate into your GitHub Actions workflow to create a dedicated Neon database for each pull request, run your test suite against it, and automatically tear it down, guaranteeing isolated and reliable test results.
Quick Start
Install the Neon Toolkit
npm install @neondatabase/toolkit
Example: Create a temporary database
import { NeonToolkit } from '@neondatabase/toolkit';
const neon = new NeonToolkit({ apiKey: process.env.NEON_API_KEY! });
const db = await neon.createEphemeralDatabase();
console.log(DB URL: ${db.url});
