Managed Postgres with scale-to-zero and branching for modern stacks.
Neon's backend reached general availability, turning serverless Postgres into a full branchable stack of storage, auth, functions, and an AI gateway, while PlanetScale shipped a fast full-text search extension for Postgres and attached existing MySQL databases to Vitess as external keyspaces.
Supabase CLI gained a supabase pull command that sets up a full local environment from a remote project plus experimental stack commands, while Supabase JS fixed a type-instantiation failure on large relationship unions.
Neon outlined plans to build a realtime sync service natively into its platform, while Prisma's v8 release candidate introduced Postgres full-text search and a rewritten schema contract.
Neon2Reset from parent now rolls back a branch's Object Storage buckets and objects to the parent's current state along with its Postgres data, reverting uploads, overwrites, and deletes made on the branch, in AWS US East (Ohio) and AWS Europe (Frankfurt). Lakebase Search extensions lakebase_vector 1.1.1 and lakebase_text 0.1.3 ship performance improvements and fixes.
Interview with Electric co-founder James Arthur describes plans to build a next-generation realtime sync service natively into Neon and Lakebase, with native support for scale-to-zero and branching. The team aims to solve the expressiveness-versus-performance tension that makes realtime sync fail in production on Postgres, following Neon's backend GA.
Supabase CLI gained exclude patterns for compute build contexts and Client SDK fixed a cross-tab token refresh race, while PlanetScale hardened placeholder parsing in database-js.
Neon Functions can now be invoked automatically when a file lands in an Object Storage bucket, while Supabase's client SDK enabled its passkey auth API by default and deprecated the experimental opt-in.
Neon1A new storage_object_created trigger invokes a Neon Function when an object is created in an Object Storage bucket, passing the bucket name and object key in the POST body and supporting an optional key prefix to scope it to a path. Functions are long-running and remain compatible with scale to zero, and the schedule trigger is also available.
Neon made Function Triggers generally available so branch-scoped cron schedules can invoke deployed functions without waking Postgres compute, and added custom domains with automatic TLS for its Functions — the only user-facing changes on a day otherwise dominated by Supabase release-candidate churn.
Neon2Neon Functions now support custom domains, replacing the Neon invocation URL with a branded hostname registered from the Console, CLI, SDK, or API. Domains are attached to one Function on one branch, and TLS certificates are provisioned automatically through Let's Encrypt.
Function Triggers let a branch-scoped cron schedule invoke a deployed Neon Function, keeping the timer outside the Postgres compute so scale to zero can stay on, unlike pg_cron. Triggers run JavaScript or TypeScript that can call HTTP, Object Storage, and the AI Gateway, and child branches inherit parent triggers disabled until enabled.
PlanetScale made external MySQL keyspaces queryable through Vitess without data import, added per-shard VTTablet sizing and by-name Neki extension management, and patched a SQL injection flaw in the CLI's D1 import parser, while Supabase's Auth and CLI churn was limited to release candidates and checksum-only builds.
An existing MySQL database can now be attached as an external keyspace on a Vitess production branch, with PlanetScale running an external tablet against that source so it can be queried through Vitess without importing data first. External keyspaces can be created from the Clusters page on production branches or via the pscale keyspace create-external CLI command.
Neki extensions can now be enabled by name and configured with parameters in a single Terraform or pscale CLI update, with the extension list replacing the currently enabled set. Existing configurations that set preload libraries directly still work, but extensions cannot be combined with shared_preload_libraries or session_preload_libraries.
VTTablet sizes can now be adjusted for individual shards in a Vitess keyspace, enabled from the keyspace Shards tab, letting a single shard get more CPU, memory, or Metal local storage without resizing the whole keyspace. Unchanged shards keep the keyspace default, and enabling it does not alter key ranges, VSchema, or routing.
Neon made its Lakebase Postgres, Object Storage, Functions, Managed Better Auth, and AI Gateway generally available as composable backend primitives, while PlanetScale open-sourced the Lead full-text search extension for Postgres testing and Supabase's canary SDK forwarded the mediation option to passkey sign-in.
Neon1Neon's backend is now generally available, extending branching beyond Postgres so every PR, preview, or agent session gets a full copy of the schema, object storage, auth, and functions. The release adds Function Triggers for schedules and object-created events, plus a declarative neon.ts config applied with neon deploy.
