Managed Postgres with scale-to-zero and branching for modern stacks.
Supabase's CLI v3 makes local the default target and gates every hosted change behind confirmation, while Neon opens AI Gateway credits to Free plan accounts and ships project recovery, and PlanetScale adds OIDC auth for CI and emergency backups for Vitess.
Supabase CLI v3.1.0 now verifies the hosted server certificate on every linked database connection, a security tightening that comes alongside a local CORS behavior change that can break functions lacking CORS headers.
Neon1Passkeys and hardware security keys can now be added from account settings and used to sign in instead of an authenticator app code. Organizations with SSO enabled keep configuration with their SSO provider.
Accounts that sign in with GitHub can now switch to email and password sign-in from account settings by selecting Disconnect GitHub, confirming on GitHub, and setting a password. After disconnecting, GitHub sign-in stops working for that account and the user is signed out of PlanetScale in other browsers.
PlanetScale added OpenID Connect authentication so GitHub Actions and Depot CI workflows trade an OIDC token for short-lived PlanetScale credentials, while Neon shipped a one-command Function Registry for agents and published fleet data showing Lakebase Postgres rarely reads from object storage.
supabase-flutter v3 adds type safety across queries, functions, realtime, and auth, and changes v2 behavior for anyone who upgrades. Nothing changes until you upgrade, and the release points to a migration guide for changes the compiler misses.
Neon3AI Gateway prepaid credits can now be purchased on the Free plan, starting at $5, and deleted projects can be recovered from the Neon Console for 7 days after deletion. Computes up to 16 CU, including autoscaling computes, now receive compute updates automatically instead of requiring manual restarts.
Neon Function Registry collects ready-made functions that agents install with neon functions new, starting from working code instead of reading docs and picking package versions. Templates cover Vercel Chat SDK, Mastra, TanStack AI, Context.dev, plus Postgres, AI Gateway, Object Storage, and Auth examples, and require Neon CLI 8.11.0 or later.
Production fleet stats show the compute node's local cache answers about 99.46% of page accesses and pageserver NVMe another 0.54%, leaving only about 39 requests per second to reach object storage. Object storage reads come almost entirely from branches or restores at old points in time and projects waking after scaling to zero, and only their first reads pay that cost.
Workflows in GitHub Actions and Depot CI can now exchange an OIDC token for a short-lived PlanetScale service token instead of storing long-lived credentials in CI secrets. Organization admins define a trust policy in the dashboard specifying required claims, granted access, and token lifetime, and the planetscale/auth-action handles the exchange with the id-token: write permission.
The PlanetScale MCP server now runs on a new platform and sends database queries from four dedicated IP addresses. Postgres databases with IP restrictions must allow all four addresses for MCP queries to connect; Vitess databases need no changes.
Supabase JS made Realtime broadcasts persist and exposed per-request query builder options in .from, while Neon's MCP server adopted the stateless MCP 2.0 spec and retired its SSE endpoints.
Version 1.18.0 of the PlanetScale Terraform provider lets you set VTGate parameters in planetscale_vitess_branch and VTTablet and MySQL parameters in planetscale_vitess_keyspace.
Neon1Neon's MCP server now supports the stateless MCP spec revision dated 2026-07-28, commonly called MCP 2.0, and the old Server-Sent Events endpoints are retired. Tool calls on the server have grown about 14% week over week since August, and the MCP server now handles more tool calls and roughly twice the daily active users of the Neon CLI.
PlanetScale's MCP server gained tools that let AI agents file problems and unanswerable questions directly to the team, while its CLI picked up branch maintenance windows, dedicated read replica detach, and emergency backups; Supabase's day was minor config and canary work.
Supabase CLI v3 now targets the local stack by default and asks for confirmation before changing a hosted project. Deprecated commands are removed, and CI should be updated or pinned to v2 before upgrading.
The PlanetScale MCP server gains planetscale_submit_feedback for reporting wrong results, confusing errors, or missing tools, and planetscale_ask_question for recording questions the docs could not answer. Each submission includes the tool, organization, and database it concerns along with the user's ID and email so the team can follow up.
