Summary

Neon is a managed, cloud-hosted PostgreSQL service for relational databases. It adjusts compute resources to workload, can suspend compute during inactivity, and resumes it when database activity returns. Database branches are isolated, can be created in about a second, and share data through copy-on-write storage. Neon also supports connection pooling with PgBouncer, read replicas, high availability, point-in-time recovery, JSON data, and seven-day backup retention. An API lets teams manage projects and databases programmatically. Documented workflows include Vercel, Prisma, Drizzle ORM, GitHub Actions, and Neon’s CLI. The Free plan is 0.00 USD per free, with limits of 10 projects, 50 CU-hours per month per project, 0.5 GB storage per project, 10 branches per project, and 5 GB monthly egress. Launch is 0.11 USD per month, billed at $0.106 per CU-hour; Scale is 0.22 USD per month, billed at $0.222 per CU-hour. Neon states that stored data is encrypted with AES-256 and data in transit uses TLS 1.2 or higher. It supports API, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows.

Who it is for

Neon suits developers and teams building PostgreSQL-backed projects who want managed cloud databases, branching, and programmatic management. Its plans describe Launch for growing projects and early startups, and Scale for production workloads needing advanced security, availability, and compliance features.
