Neon reimagines Postgres with a serverless architecture. With a generous free tier, scale-to-zero, and true database branching. Copy data and schema in a second and scale resources automatically. Ideal for developers prioritizing scalability and performance.

Review Neon?

Reviewers describe Neon as a simple, familiar Postgres service that is quick to set up and easy to plug into existing stacks. The most repeated praise is for branching, which users say makes schema changes, previews, and migrations much safer and faster. Makers of Composio, Superset, and Unabyss also highlight easy setup, database forks, and less infrastructure work. Reliability feedback is mostly positive, though one user notes pricing changed from usage-based to subscription plans.

I have been using it for more than a year now. I have seen people complain that the uptime for Neon is not good. However, in my case, it has always been a reliable database provider, and I have never faced any issues with it. My only complaint was about the pricing; they have switched from usage-based pricing to subscription-based pricing, which seems to be a common trend these days for generating revenue. Although it now charges monthly, it is still affordable for any development team with substantial usage. The way it works under the hood is simply awesome and truly serverless.

used Neon to build WriteRush 2.0

•15 reviews

I knew I needed a robust Postgres database for WriteRush's user accounts and subscription data. As a solo dev, the idea of managing a traditional database was daunting. Neon's serverless Postgres was great! The setup took literally 5 minutes. It scales automatically, the developer experience is fantastic, and the ability to branch my database like I branch my code is awesome. Neon gave WriteRush a production-grade database with zero overhead, letting me focus on building the app itself.

used Neon to build Toolable.ai

•5 reviews

Neon is one of the most developer-friendly hosted database-as-a-service platforms that exists. With just a few clicks, a fresh auto-scaling PG database is ready to go. Adding and managing extensions like pg_vector (and others) are incredibly easy too. Toolable.ai is powered by Neon.
