Why Topo.io Switched From Amazon RDS to Neon
The killer feature that convinced us to use Neon was branching: it keeps our engineering velocity high. Léonard Henriquez, co-founder and CTO, Topo.io The team at Topo.io is building the next generation of AI-powered sales assistant, so you can let the virtual SDR find you the ri...
How Supergood unlocked their Postgres developer productivity
“Neon allows us to develop much faster than we’ve even been used to. In traditional setups, you’re just trying to get the data that is representative of real customers—but now, when we build a feature, we’re actually testing it on real data in a matter of minutes. We can get feat...
How OpusFlow achieves tenant isolation in Postgres without managing servers
“Our customers require their data to live in an isolated database, but implementing this in RDS was cumbersome and expensive. We switched over to Neon to reduce costs and operational overhead” Joey Teunissen, CTO at OpusFlow The demand for solar panels and sustainable energy inst...
How Recrowd uses Neon autoscaling to meet fluctuating demand
“We use Neon for its great autoscaling capabilities. It allowed us to solve a huge problem with simple steps” Pieralberto Colombo, CTO at Recrowd Recrowd is Italy’s leading crowdfunding platform, empowering small investors to participate in real estate projects with just a few cl...
How to copy large Postgres databases in seconds
If you’re running Postgres in production, you’ll most likely be handling database copies not only as backups but also for creating development and testing environments that replicate production settings. Database copies also play a key role in preparing for migrations and upgrade...
6 tips to optimize storage costs for your Postgres databases
As your data grows, so does your storage bill. Here are 6 quick tips that can help you streamline your storage usage, keeping your Postgres database running lean. 1. Remove unused indexes Indexes are crucial for Postgres query performance, but they also consume storage space. Ove...
White Widget’s secret to scalable Postgres: Neon
“Neon perfectly meets our needs for a Postgres solution that scales with demand. We can push the boundaries of what’s possible in our projects without compromising efficiency or costs” Technical Director at White Widget White Widget is an award-winning software design and enginee...
How Retool uses Retool (and the Neon API) to manage 300K+ Postgres databases
Neon is a serverless Postgres database with a robust API. Partners like Retool choose Neon to easily offer managed databases to their end-users, simplifying the management of massive database fleets while optimizing costs. Thanks to Neon, Retool is able to manage over 300k Postgr...
Performance tips for Neon Postgres
Neon is serverless Postgres. Neon databases elastically scale up and down according to load—including scaling to zero—and database operations are greatly simplified via robust API support and database branching capabilities. But just like every Postgres, to get the most out of Ne...
How to reduce Postgres compute costs as you scale
Reducing cloud costs is on everyone’s mind. While storage prices continue to drop, fewer innovations have been made to reduce compute costs, even though compute typically consumes a larger chunk of the bill. That’s why we’ve built Neon with scale to zero and autoscaling, so that...
Database branching workflows: A guide for developers
Modern development demands speed and flexibility, but this is nowhere to be found in database development. Even when using managed databases, database workflows are still slow and prone to errors: setting up new instances takes time, undoing changes is risky, keeping data consist...
Empowering developers with production-like snapshots: how Snaplet uses Neon
“As soon as we found out about Neon’s branching model with copy-on-write, we knew it was exactly what we were looking for” Julien Goux, Software Engineer at Snaplet Snaplet uses Neon to power its Snapshot feature. Neon’s partnership plans make it possible to manage thousands of d...
How to create previews with anonymized production-like data in seconds
Database branching makes it easy to create database copies for your non-prod environments, but some companies face the obstacle of how to anonymize PII to ensure privacy. This can be solved with Neosync, an open-source tool that allows developers to anonymize data across branches...
How Cedalio uses Neon for an efficient development workflow
We love Postgres, and for us, being able to use Postgres database branches that can be integrated with our CI/CD pipeline is a killer feature. The ability to spawn databases that can scale down to zero is also incredibly helpful. This model fits well with our one database per cus...
From days to minutes: how Neo.Tax accelerated their development lifecycle
“Database branching is the best quality-of-life improvement to my tech stack that I can think of in recent years. Second to maybe only Copilot” Miguel Hernandez, Backend Tech Lead at Neo.Tax Neo.Tax specializes in automating the calculation of tax credits for startups, enterprise...
Database recovery strategies to help you sleep at night
As you’re building your architecture, much thought goes into making database systems resilient to failures. But shhh… stuff happens; misconfigurations, human errors, or accidentally signing up little Bobby Tables to your service—sometimes, databases fall over. If you don’t have a...
How 222 uses Neon to handle their frequent spikes in demand
“Our database traffic peaks at nights and on weekends when thousands of our members are attending experiences. Building on a database that preemptively autoscales allows us to regularly handle these traffic spikes.” Lex Nasser, Founding Engineer at 222 Life in a tech-enabled worl...
Adopting Neon branching in CI/CD pipelines: a practical story by Shepherd
“Branching saves us both money and developer time. We no longer have to set up an actual testing database instance and make sure the data is always synced with production. We now spin up an ephemeral branch when we need to and then tear it down via the create/delete Github Action...
Restrict access to the production branch
Via database branching workflows, developers can quickly experiment and ship updates—this is why we often hear how Neon accelerates development for teams. But it can be nerve-wracking to think that you might accidentally delete the production branch or project. To give you peace...
Comigo.ai is using Neon to transform ADHD support with AI
“With Neon, we can start small and scale up. We don’t have to think about some level of operational stuff. That’s awesome.” Paul Dlug, CTO of Comigo.ai Comigo.ai is a digital companion and coach for individuals with ADHD. The app leverages LLMs to offer support traditionally give...
