Neon Postgres

Neon is a serverless PostgreSQL platform: you get PostgreSQL databases that auto-scale and pause when idle. Pay only for compute seconds used, not for instance capacity. Features: instant database branching (useful for preview deployments), native Vercel integration, automated backups, connection pooling via pgBouncer. Neon abstracts ops: no patching, no backup management, no capacity planning. You write SQL; Neon handles availability, scaling, and data safety. Perfect for SaaS, startups, and side projects avoiding Ops work.
