Branching is one of the most powerful features in Neon. It lets teams spin up isolated environments instantly and automate workflows through the API, and as a result, developers and agents create many branches at scale – hundreds or even thousands of them. To make managing short-lived branches even easier, we’re launching a new feature: […]
Neptune is an AI-powered concierge that helps couples navigate high-stakes financial decisions, starting with prenups. Neptune guides couples through an emotionally intelligent process that replaces the guesswork and complexity of prenups (because most of us are not lawyers) and helps couples identify their goals and priorities for their prenuptial agreement. Once couples have discovered their […]
App.build now supports open weights LLMs via Ollama, LMStudio, and OpenRouter – enabling you to generate complete applications end-to-end without cloud API dependency or associated costs. Why Run App.build Locally? Zero API costs Cloud LLM APIs can become expensive fast during extended coding sessions. Even our small dev team can burn through hundreds of dollars […]
The former Create.xyz has now relaunched as Anything, a new platform agent that builds and ships full-stack applications from a single prompt with support for mobile and web, production-ready designs, and built-in infrastructure, with Neon powering the backend with serverless Postgres, built-in auth, and seamless developer workflows. Anything is live now and available at createanything.com. […]
“The entire memory layer of our agent, all its session data, is stored in Neon. It’s the backend for everything the agent remembers.” (Ran Sheinberg, co-founder and CPO of xpander.ai) xpander is a new platform built for helping developers build and run production-ready AI agents. Today, they’re launching a major new feature – a Slack integration […]
Multiplayer UIs aren’t new. Tools like Figma and Google Docs have brought collaborative, real-time experiences to millions of users. But for most developers, building robust and scalable real-time applications has always been out of reach. Real-time is hard. The benefits are obvious: no stale data, seamless collaboration, and multi-device and multiplayer flows. Many apps could […]
Dyad is a local-first, open-source AI coding assistant that helps you build and iterate on web apps from your own machine. You can chat with Dyad to scaffold code, review changes, or debug issues all inside your editor. Unlike most cloud-based tools, Dyad runs locally, supports any LLM (including GPT, Claude, and Gemini), and even […]
More and more software will be created by agents, not just code snippets but full-stack apps with interfaces, backends, persistence, auth. This means a big change in the shape of the devtools and software infrastructure supporting these apps. Many systems are now created at runtime, per app, per request, and often discarded minutes later. Postgres […]
We’re very excited to announce that app.build is launching a web interface that builds and deploys React, Laravel or FastAPI applications with zero configuration required! Just visit the website, type your prompt, and we’ll get your app built and deployed: This makes the experience of trying app.build much easier. A refresher on app.build If you’re […]
At Laracon 2025, we just demoed a new way to build Laravel apps: by writing a prompt! app.build is an open-source reference architecture for agent codegen, able to generate full-stack web apps from natural language. It handles everything from scaffolding the project to writing tests, deploying to the cloud, and wiring up a Postgres database. […]
It’s not only hype: developers are working with AI every day – both using new AI-powered tools and building their own. At Neon, we’re seeing Postgres widely used in three AI workflows: Vector search with pgvector Many AI applications rely on vector embeddings for semantic search, RAG pipelines and similarity-based recommendations. The default approach is […]
Every now and then, people ask me: “I am new to agentic development, I’m building something, but I feel like I’m missing some tribal knowledge. Help me catch up!” I’m tempted to suggest some serious stuff like multiweek courses (e.g. by HuggingFace or Berkeley), but not everyone is interested in that level of diving. So […]
For years, we’ve built elaborate scaffolding around our databases: message queues to broadcast changes, cron jobs to sync schemas, webhooks to notify downstream systems. We needed this scaffolding because Postgres was “just” a database, a place to store rows and run queries. The real work happened elsewhere. But, at the same time, Postgres has been […]
Cognition Lab’s AI software engineer, Devin, recently had its capabilities expanded by opening up an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server marketplace. With this, and Neon’s MCP server, you can now have Devin interact with your Neon database directly using a comprehensive set of tools. Here, let’s explore a practical scenario using Devin and the Neon […]
Developers love using Neon branches for a local development, due to the agility they provide (e.g. fast resets, isolated environments, and the ability to test without polluting production data). But using Neon branches still requires you to manage separate connection strings for different branches and ensure your application and its environment is properly set up […]
When we started working on app.build, we knew in the longer run we wanted to build a generic agent that could build apps with different “coding stacks”. However, for our first release and initial announcement, we could only build apps written with a single fixed stack: In the recent blog post on design decisions, we […]
“We replaced both Pinecone and RDS with Neon, and latency dropped from 200ms to 80ms with a much simpler setup. Neon also gave us a smoother developer experience across multiple regions. It just works” (Giorgi Kenchadze, Founder & CEO at Vecstore) Vectstore is a new AI search platform built on Rust that helps developers build […]
Starting in May, we had a series of feature launches with agentic AI partners that gained far more momentum than we predicted. In two short timespans, the rate of new database creation increased more than 5x, and the rate of branch creation increased more than 50x. While we were humbled by the uptick, the significant […]
Neon’s storage architecture is designed for scalability, but scalability alone doesn’t guarantee performance. Over the past several months, we’ve been focused on making the Neon storage system faster – cutting down ingest latency, reducing read amplification, making better use of disk and network bandwidth, and optimizing the path from write-ahead log to S3. If you […]
“Timing is everything.” Some say that’s a quote from Shakespeare, but imho, the true bards of time are the 52 contributors to the pg_cron extension. The concept being pg_cron is simple: run scheduled jobs directly within Postgres using familiar cron syntax. The simplicity belies the power, though. With pg_cron, you can schedule database maintenance, automate […]
