It’s crazy to think that “vibe coding” started just weeks ago, with this tweet from Andrej Karpathy: Now, you can get a job as a vibe coder, and Stanford professors are giving lectures on it. That escalated quickly. In its short life, vibe coding has come to mean all kinds of AI-assisted workflows—especially ones where […]
Reddit’s answer for solving noisy neighbors is simple: Have a talk with them, if you can stay calm, be as straight forward as possible. Don’t bend on your position. At least find out what the other neighbors think. Good advice, but it can be difficult to talk to CPUs; they tend not to like it […]
We’re excited to announce that Neon is now a GitHub Secret Scanning Partner, joining a group of leading enterprises and technology firms working to enhance security. This partnership helps protect Neon users by automatically detecting exposed Neon database credentials and API keys in public repositories and npm packages before they can be exploited. How It […]
“We used RDS before, but the cost and manual effort of scaling it up and down was a pain. I also wanted one database solution across clouds—and Neon gave us that” (Tal Kain, Founder and CEO at Velocity) When production goes sideways at 2 a.m., the last thing an engineer wants is to fumble through […]
Vercel’s v0 recently introduced integrations for Neon, Supabase, and Upstash. With these integrations, you can easily add persistent storage and deploy full-stack applications in minutes. However, detailed prompting is essential to guide v0 effectively. Since its initial launch, v0 has rapidly evolved beyond frontend code generation, continually adding powerful new features, such as supporting server-side […]
We just announced that pg_search is available on Neon, making it easier than ever to build fast, full-text search experiences with Postgres. To demonstrate its performance, we forked Vercel’s Book Inventory template and replaced the AI-powered search with native PostgreSQL full-text search using pg_search. The results are blazing fast—up to 200x faster. No need for […]
Our instant restore feature is a favorite with customers managing multi-terabyte databases—it gives them peace of mind knowing they can recover everything instantly to any point in time if something goes wrong. Most Postgres services offer PITR, but Neon’s implementation is unique—designed around its architecture and novel approach to storage. In this post, we’ll take […]
Neon’s serverless driver for JavaScript and TypeScript carries SQL queries over HTTP and WebSockets. It’s designed for use in environments where raw TCP connections aren’t available and/or low connection latencies are important. That includes V8 isolate-based serverless functions and even web browsers. The driver has been available for several years, but it was still wearing […]
Neon Auth allows you to integrate authentication with your Postgres database, eliminating the traditional complexity of keeping user data in sync. With Neon Auth, your user profiles are exposed in a standard Neon Postgres table, giving you the simplicity of a managed auth solution while maintaining complete data ownership. You can reference user data in […]
Imagine an IDE that not only writes your code but also provisions, migrates, and queries your Postgres database. Stop imagining—this is possible today with Windsurf. In this blog post, we will explore how Windsurf can be integrated with the Neon MCP server to allow agents to interact directly with your database. We’ll walk through an […]
“Moving from legacy infrastructure to a fully serverless stack has been a huge upgrade. We wanted our backend to be as hands-off as possible. Now we get all the power of Postgres, without having to think about it” (James Ross, Co-founder and CTO at Nodecraft) Nodecraft is a game server hosting platform that makes it […]
Since the release of GitHub Copilot, AI integration in IDEs has evolved dramatically. Now, two IDEs are being talked about more than any other: Windsurf and Cursor. Both tools are forks of VSCode, offer a similar set of features, and use Anthropic’s Claude model under the hood. I vibe coded with both IDEs and took […]
We’ve teamed up with ParadeDB to bring pg_search to all Neon users, making full-text search in Postgres faster and more powerful. Get Elastic-level speed within Neon—perfect for search-heavy apps, analytics, and filtering large datasets. Try it on the Free Plan. Elasticsearch Powers, Inside Postgres pg_search is a high-performance full-text search extension for Postgres. It fills […]
If you’re running a B2B SaaS company that operates across multiple regions and needs to stay HIPAA-compliant, managing your Postgres setup can be a real headache. You need to keep customer data isolated while avoiding performance issues caused by shared resources, all while ensuring your architecture can scale as you onboard more customers. Managing a […]
“When I started RagRabbit, I did testing on vector databases, but I didn’t see a real advantage. Postgres with Pgvector covers everything I need, and it’s very performant for the number of rows I handle” (Marco D’Alia, Software Architect behind RagRabbit) While experimenting with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) solutions, Marco (Software Architect and 2x founder) found […]
As applications evolve, making changes to your database schema is inevitable, whether you’re adding indexes to keep performance up with a growing user base or adding new features to an existing product. Most of the time, these schema migrations will go smoothly, but if you’re not careful, updating your schema can potentially lead to major […]
Neon has completed its HIPAA compliance audit, adding to our security achievements: SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, ISO 27701, GDPR, and CCPA. If your company needs a HIPAA-compliant database, Neon can now securely store Protected Health Information (PHI). What is HIPAA Compliance? The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) sets national security and […]
In this blog post, I’ll share my experience of vibe coding as I explore AI-driven synthetic data generation, the tests I ran, and the challenges I faced along the way. What is vibe coding? Vibe coding is all about skipping the boilerplate and getting straight to the good stuff. Instead of meticulously crafting every line […]
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) has been rapidly gaining traction, going viral on social media over the past two weeks. The community has already built dozens of MCP servers across a wide spectrum of domains, extending LLM capabilities with external tools, services, and data sources. For example, the Neon MCP Server allows LLMs to connect […]
Your traditional database is rock-solid for handling production workloads—reliable, resilient, and built to withstand just about anything. But when it comes to the developer experience? Not so much. If you’ve ever had multiple developers colliding on the same dev or test instance, overwriting each other’s schema changes, accidentally siphoning resources from production, or dealing with […]
