Continue to About ↓- What it does
- Neon is a serverless Postgres backend platform built around Lakebase Postgres, with branching, autoscaling, scale-to-zero, and bundled Authentication, Object Storage, Functions, Realtime (beta), Search, and an AI Gateway.
More detail
- It is positioned for full-stack apps and AI coding agents that need instant, isolated environments.
- Neon has been part of the Databricks Platform since May 2025.
- Best for
- Developers and teams building Postgres-backed full-stack apps, bursty or unpredictable workloads, cheap dev/test environments via branching and scale-to-zero, and AI agent or app-generation platforms needing instant isolated backends.
- Pricing
- Usage-based consumption with no minimum monthly fee on paid usage plans; the Free plan is $0 with no credit card.
More detail
- Launch lists $0.106 per CU-hour compute, $0.35 per GB-month storage, $1.50 per extra branch-month, $0.20 per GB-month instant restore storage, $0.09 per GB-month snapshots, $0.023 per GB
- Main limitation
- Teams that need Realtime in production today (beta, no row-level security yet, limited regions), need Object Storage, Functions, or AI Gateway outside US East, EU Frankfurt, or AP Singapore, or require an uptime SLA or HIPAA on lower tiers.

About
- Neon is a serverless Postgres backend platform built around Lakebase Postgres, with branching, autoscaling, scale-to-zero, and bundled Authentication, Object Storage, Functions, Realtime (beta), Search, and an AI Gateway.
- It is positioned for full-stack apps and AI coding agents that need instant, isolated environments.
- Neon has been part of the Databricks Platform since May 2025.
What it helps with
- Slow environment provisioning that blocks agents and developers waiting on servers, tickets, or manual setup.
- Overprovisioning and idle database cost for bursty or non-production workloads.
- Risky deploys and difficult rollback without isolated copies of the full backend.
- Assembling a backend from multiple vendors for auth, storage, compute, and AI model access.
