Postgres and backend platform for serverless apps — Neon

Neon is a serverless Postgres platform built for apps with many concurrent connections, real-time autoscaling, and usage-based pricing.
CPU, memory, and storage scale automatically with workload, so you do not need to provision for peak traffic.
Neon’s built-in PgBouncer-based pooler supports up to 10,000 concurrent connections.
The service is 100% Postgres and removes the need for server management.
Neon decouples compute from storage: compute handles queries while data is stored in distributed, durable object storage.
Databases can be provisioned in seconds, which is useful for database-per-user apps and AI agents.
The platform scales resources automatically both up and down, with no manual resizing or maintenance.
Pricing is tied to actual compute and storage usage, helping avoid idle capacity and overprovisioning.
A customer example says Neon handled hundreds of Lambda functions without connection issues and cost about one-sixth of AWS Aurora v2.
Another customer example says autoscaling provided more performance at peak without needing to overprovision servers.
