Instant provisioning: Neon databases are provisioned in under a second. Fast development: Neon combines this provisioning speed with database branching workflows, which enable engineering teams (and individual developers) to add the database to their CI/CD pipelines. In a second, they can create isolated environments for testing and development that resemble production data, building collaboratively and shipping improvements in a fraction of the time. Affordable dev and testing databases: Neon database branches work via copy-on-write and they scale to zero when inactive. Combined, this significantly lowers down the costs of non-production deployments - developers not only get a superior DX but a better deal as well. Efficient and automatic scalability: Neon not only saves engineering time during the building phase - when it is time to scale, Neon takes care of it effortlessly. Neon databases automatically scale resources according to load, ensuring optimal performance during traffic spikes without the need for over provisioning in advance. Neon storage also scales automatically- no need to manage disks.
