FAQPage Schema
How do I create ephemeral Neon databases for CI workflows?

You can create ephemeral Neon databases for CI workflows by running the Neon Toolkit scripts, which automate quick provisioning and lifecycle management of temporary databases for each test run or PR build.

How do I automate database cleanup in CI/CD pipelines to manage costs?

To automate database cleanup in CI/CD pipelines and keep environments cost-efficient, use the template-driven workflow scripts provided to automatically tear down ephemeral Neon databases after tests complete.

Do I need a NEON_API_KEY to spin up isolated databases for automated tests?

Yes, you need a valid NEON_API_KEY to spin up isolated Neon databases for automated tests, as the toolkit depends on this key and the @neondatabase/toolkit library to provision and manage environments.

What is the best way to provision temporary databases for local development?

The best way to provision temporary databases for local development is using a template-driven workflow that quickly spins up isolated Neon databases, allowing you to prototype and run tests without persistent setup.

Can I use the Neon Toolkit for lifecycle management of test databases?

Yes, you can use the Neon Toolkit for lifecycle management of test databases, as it provides scripts to automate the creation, usage, and destruction of ephemeral databases in your testing pipelines.

When should I use ephemeral databases instead of persistent ones for testing?

You should use ephemeral databases instead of persistent ones for testing when you need isolated environments for each test run or PR build, ensuring clean states and automated cleanup to reduce costs.
