description Neon Overview

Neon is a serverless PostgreSQL database platform that offers database branching, similar to Git, for development workflows. It separates storage and compute, allowing for scale-to-zero functionality and instant branching. The architecture provides good read performance through multi-zone storage, but write latencies can be higher due to the separation. The free tier includes 0.5GB storage and 1 project.

Integration is primarily via standard PostgreSQL drivers, making migration straightforward.
