Serverless Postgres by Databricks with autoscaling, database branching, instant restore, and a Data API — built for the modern development workflow.

Value Proposition

Serverless Postgres that scales automatically, branches like Git, and costs nothing when idle — purpose-built for modern cloud-native and AI-agent workloads.

Problem Solved

Eliminates the overhead of provisioning and managing Postgres servers while enabling Git-like database branching workflows that traditional databases don't support.

Questions & Answers

Neon's key differentiators are its serverless architecture with scale-to-zero billing and database branching. You can create instant copy-on-write branches of your database for development, testing, or per-tenant isolation — similar to Git branching — without duplicating storage.
