What it does
Neon reimagines Postgres with a serverless architecture. With a generous free tier, scale-to-zero, and true database branching. For developers prioritizing scalability and engineering velocity.
The backend for apps and agents. Build with Lakebase Postgres, Auth, Functions, Storage, and an AI Gateway: instant, branchable, serverless.
Lakebase Postgres . Serverless database that scales and branches with your app. Managed Better Auth . Authentication with users and sessions stored in Postgres. Functions . Long-running, without timeouts, and closer to your database. Object Storage . S3-compatible blob storage that branches with your projects. AI Gateway . All models, one API, one bill. Powered by Databricks. By separating compute and storage, Lakebase Postgres autoscales CPU, memory and storage to fit your workload. Create editable copies of databases instantly with git-like branching, saving space and time. Mask sensitive data with realistic fake values, enabling safe testing and sharing of datasets.

Serverless Postgres2024 · github.com · ▲159This is a MVP for Serverless Postgres. 1/ It uses Fly.io[0], which can automatically pause your database after all connections are released (and start it again when new connections join). 2/ It uses Oriole[1], a Postgres extension with experimental support for S3 / Decoupled Storage[2]. 3/ It uses Tigris[3], Globally Distributed S3-Compatible Object Storage. Oriole will automatically backup the data to Tigris using background workers. I wouldn't recommend using this in production, but I think it's in a good spot to provoke some discussion and ideas.

Neon-PostgREST – Build a Supabase-Like API/SDK DevX over Neon2024 · github.com · ▲8Hey folks - one thing I find a bit frustrating using non-supabase Postgres providers is the lack of ability to perform DB queries via an SDK/API. I decided to build a quick sample of how to combine PostgREST + Neon to recreate this dev experience.

Talanoa▲340Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
