Neon

Serverless Postgres with branching and scale to zero

What it is

Neon is serverless Postgres where compute scales automatically and idle databases shut down to zero. For every pull request or test you can create a branch with a full copy of the data in seconds. Around the database there is now also Neon Auth based on Better Auth, a Data API with REST endpoints and object storage.

Install
npm i -g neon
Why it made the cut
  • Database branches for every pull request
  • Scale to zero, idle compute costs nothing
  • Neon Auth and a Data API right next to the database
