Neon Changelog

Neon Realtime turns any SQL query into a live query that stays up to date as data changes, running from Lakebase Postgres with scale-to-zero, branching, and type-safe end-to-end reactivity, in public beta across four AWS regions. Also adds 11 models to the AI Gateway, real-time Stripe data sync into Postgres, CJK full-text search in Lakebase Search, and Managed Better Auth on Better Auth 1.7.6.

Every model in the Neon AI Gateway catalog, including Claude Opus 5.5, is now callable on paid plans with prepaid credits without requesting access. Feedback can be sent via the new send_feedback MCP tool or neon feedback CLI command, and neon deploy and neon config apply now accept -y.

Neon Free plan projects now get 1 GB of database storage, up from 0.5 GB, with existing projects picking up the new limit automatically. The Neon AI Gateway also now supports embedding models via /v1/embeddings, returning 1024-dimension vectors billed on input tokens only.

Reset 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.

Neon'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.

Claimable Neon lets agents provision a temporary project with scoped credentials without an account or payment details, with humans claiming ownership later via neon claim accept; Lakebase Postgres, the Data API, and Managed Better Auth are supported today. The new @neon/tools package exposes typed function-calling tools from the @neon/sdk with adapters for MCP, Mastra, and Eve, adding over 70 tools to the hosted Neon MCP server, and large fixed-size computes of 18 CU and above now expand shared buffers to use up to 75% of available memory.

Neon backend — Object Storage, Functions, and AI Gateway — is now available in AWS Europe (Frankfurt), in beta alongside US East (Ohio). New AI Gateway models include Fable 5.1, GLM 5.3 Flash, and Grok 4.6. Neon is available as a Grok Bot plugin, and the CLI adds a leaner neon init plus neon env pull writing function invocation URLs as NEON_FUNCTION_<SLUG>_BASE_URL.

Three new Neon CLI commands — neon mcp, neon skills, and neon plugins — install Neon into coding agents like Cursor and Claude Code without manual config. The MCP server's inspect_database tool now reports queries stalled over 30 seconds, and new NAT gateway IPs in us-east-2 require allowlist updates.

Lakebase Search extensions can now be installed directly with two CREATE EXTENSION statements, and both extensions were updated to newer versions. The Neon CLI stores credentials in the OS keyring with --keyring and inspects every database on a branch at once; the Neon MCP server is now an official Claude connector.

Electric and its PGlite sync engine join Neon, bringing real-time, local-first Postgres sync to the platform. The Neon AI Gateway is now a community provider for the Vercel AI SDK with a single credential for 42+ models, and Neon's agent skills/MCP server ships as an Agent Plugins 1.0.0 package for any conforming client.

The Console sidebar now groups all branch-level backend services at the same level, with project-level items separated from branch-level items; branch Overview lists service status. AI Gateway adds Kimi K3, GLM-5.2, Inkling, and new Gemini/GPT models. Project-level permissions now support existing orgs, and the CLI adds api-keys and profile commands for scoped credentials and multi-account switching.

Project-level permissions let you grant Viewer, Editor, or Admin access on individual projects, while the new Collaborator organization role provides no default access until specific projects are granted. Existing organizations are migrated automatically with no action required. Also includes new guides for building durable workflows and an LLM proxy on the Neon backend, Lakebase Search case study and guide, renamed spending limits to spending notifications, schema-qualified table names in the MCP server, and a Drizzle Studio 1.5.1 update with multi-column sorting and keyboard shortcuts.

The Neon CLI now supports neon inspect db for running read-only Postgres diagnostics, and backend log querying is available.

Neon Object Storage, Functions, and AI Gateway are now in beta, and a new TypeScript SDK (@neon/sdk) replaces @neondatabase/api-client as the recommended API client. Passkey sign-in is available, and the CLI adds a git-style diff command alongside config diff output.

The Neon CLI adds a neon api command for calling any Platform API route from the terminal without raw API keys, and the Console gains Cmd+K/Ctrl+K command-bar navigation with branch- and project-scoped actions. Also new: optional expiresAt parameter on MCP create_branch and expanded NAT gateway IPs in three AWS regions.

The Neon CLI is now installable as neon from npm instead of neonctl (the old name still works). New neon config init scaffolds a declarative branch config, and neon status checks your current branch with no network call. The CLI now requires Node.js 20.19.0 or higher. Neon Storage is now available in the Files SDK, Neon Testing supports Bun Test, and snapshot expiration can now be updated anytime via the API.

Lakebase Search, bringing vector, keyword, and hybrid search into Postgres via lakebase_vector and lakebase_text extensions, is now generally available for Postgres 16+ users. New agent skills for Neon Functions, Object Storage, and AI Gateway teach AI coding assistants how to work with these private-preview backend services. Supported Postgres versions updated to 14.23, 15.18, 16.14, 17.10, and 18.4.

neon.ts is a TypeScript config file committed to repos for branch policy infrastructure-as-code and service declarations, deployable via neonctl. Neon Storage, Functions, and AI Gateway are now in private preview. The deprecated GET /consumption_history/account endpoint has been removed, and Vercel integration now auto-syncs credentials after password rotation.

Lakebase Search, in private preview, brings scalable vector and BM25 full-text search via new Postgres extensions that scale to over 1 billion vectors and are stored in Neon's object storage. The neonctl CLI has been updated with end-to-end Neon Auth management, a complete branch-first dev loop, and psql access without requiring local installation. Also fixed an issue in the /consumption_history API where public_network_transfer_bytes incorrectly included ingress traffic.

Three new backend services—S3-compatible object storage, serverless compute functions, and an AI gateway for LLM routing—are coming to Neon (early access signup available). Postgres 18 is now the default for new projects, and public network transfer allowance increased from 100 GB to 500 GB per month. Neon CLI v2.22.2 adds link, checkout, psql, and data-api commands with agent-mode support for AI assistants.
