neon is serverless postgress you click a button and you have postgress in the cloud in less than 3 seconds we believe that a database should just be a URL a serverless endpoint in the cloud that scales Up and Down based on the application workload we separated a storage and compute to make that possible it's easy to start using neon either by creating a project on the neon console or by using the neon CLI so you can get the databases connection details without leaving your editor when you develop your app you don't need to worry about
the cost of using it neon scales to zero when the database is not being used and when you deploy your app to production you don't need to worry about the capacity of your database neon automatically scales to the demands of your workload you can deploy your applications in a traditional way and connect to Neon over TCP using any postest driver however increasing more teams are leveraging Edge deployments where they cannot establish a direct TCP connection these are environments such as AWS Lambda versel Edge functions Clare workers or even the browser for such deployments neon provides
a low latency servoless driver that delivers sub 10 milliseconds Edge latency for querying neon over HTTP this way you can query your neon database from anywhere using JavaScript or typescript neon enables you to work with your data the same way you work with code you can instantly create isolated copies of your data we call branches and use them as part of your workflow neon branching uses copy on right so each branch instantly has both the schema and data however no data is actually duplicated so you're only build for Unique data across all branches branches are
very lightweight each branch has its own URL and auto scales up and down and to zero just like the main branch our customers use thousands of branches and use them to create preview environments for every poor request for example here we have multiple open requests where each one has its own preview deployment that includes a neon Branch this way changes can be tested in isolation enabling your team to move fast and ship with confidence
