Key Features

For developers and engineering teams, Neon fits into fast iteration cycles where you spin up databases on demand, branch data for features, and recover quickly from errors: - Instant Provisioning: Provisioned in about 300ms, enabling near-immediate database availability. - Autoscaling: Automatically scales with load and can scale to zero when idle to manage costs and performance. - Branching: Instantly create isolated DB copies for development, CI/CD, and migrations with copy-on-write storage. - Point-in-time Recovery: Up to 30 days of recovery granularity down to the transaction or second.

Best for product teams, developers doing feature branches, and QA/CI teams that need isolated database environments and fast, predictable provisioning.
