About Neon
Neon offers a serverless Postgres database designed for modern development and AI workloads. Its unique architecture decouples storage and compute, enabling features like autoscaling that adjusts resources to traffic, preventing over-provisioning and reducing costs. A key developer-centric feature is 'database branching,' which allows for instant, copy-on-write clones of the production database for development and testing. Neon also includes built-in connection pooling, a REST-based Data API, and integrated authentication to simplify application architecture. The platform is built for reliability with point-in-time recovery, high uptime SLAs, and enterprise-grade compliance like SOC 2 and HIPAA.
Core Architecture
Storage-Compute Separation
Allows for independent, dynamic scaling of resources, improving efficiency and reducing cost.
Autoscaling
Automatically scales CPU and memory to match workload, with scale-to-zero to pause inactive databases.
Bottomless Storage
Storage scales automatically as data grows, billed based on usage.
Developer Experience
Database Branching
Instantly create copy-on-write clones of your database for development, testing, and CI/CD.
Instant Restore
Restore a database to any point in time with point-in-time recovery.
Data Api
Access your Postgres data over HTTP via a REST API.
Connection Pooling
Built-in connection pooling to manage database connections efficiently, even in serverless environments.
Security & Compliance
Built-In Authentication
Simplify application architecture with user authentication and management built into the database.
Compliance
SOC 2 Type 2 and HIPAA compliant.
Private Networking
Support for AWS PrivateLink to keep traffic off the public internet.
