Neon
Neon provides Postgres databases, authentication, functions, storage, and an AI gateway for applications and agents.
About Neon
Neon is a hosted backend platform built around Postgres databases. It also provides user authentication, functions, S3-compatible object storage, and an AI Gateway that offers one API for frontier and open-source models. The homepage describes the database as serverless and autoscaling, with CPU and memory adjusted to match load. Neon has been part of the Databricks Platform since May 2025.
The platform supports branching. Databases and storage can be copied into isolated environments, which the homepage presents as a way for developers and agents to test changes and roll them back. The homepage describes a free plan with 1 GB of Postgres storage per project and 100 projects included, and describes usage-based pricing. Current pricing is not confirmed in this entry. The product is listed as web-based and is not open source.
