Neon
Neon provides branchable serverless Postgres and backend services for applications and coding agents.

Neon provides managed Postgres with separated compute and storage, autoscaling, scale-to-zero, instant provisioning, and database branching. Its backend services also include Object Storage, Functions, Managed Better Auth, and an AI Gateway.
Developers use Neon for application databases, preview environments, testing, agent-built applications, file storage, authentication, and model calls. Neon does not host frontends or static sites, and AI Gateway model usage and other services may incur usage charges.
Features
- Provision serverless Postgres databases with autoscaling and scale-to-zero
- Create isolated database branches for previews, tests, and agent sessions
- Query databases through a PostgREST-compatible HTTP interface
- Store files in S3-compatible Object Storage that branches with database data
- Deploy long-running Node.js Functions beside Postgres
- Use Managed Better Auth with branchable users, sessions, and organizations
- Call models from multiple providers through the AI Gateway
- Manage projects and database resources through an API and CLI
Use cases
- Create isolated databases for pull-request preview environments
- Run integration tests against disposable Postgres branches
- Build applications with database, storage, functions, and authentication
- Deploy agent-built backends with branchable infrastructure
- Store uploads alongside the database while keeping branches isolated
- Call AI models without managing separate provider credentials
