Neon Changelog

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.

Neon is building a complete backend platform with three new services alongside Postgres: Object Storage (S3-compatible, branches with your database), Compute (serverless compute deployed with your database), and AI Gateway (model routing, logging, cost controls). Schema Diff now supports schemas up to 20,000 lines (previously 8,000), unblocking diffs on larger production schemas. A new per-branch consumption metrics API lets you attribute usage to individual branches instead of rolling up to the project level, and a new guide covers building replayable AI agents using Neon snapshots paired with serialized execution state.

Paid plans now include 100 manual snapshots per project, up from 10. Snapshots created by backup schedules do not count toward this limit.

Neon Auth now supports Magic Link sign-in via email and phone number sign-in via SMS OTP, configurable per branch with custom application names and wildcard trusted domains. New Neon Auth management tools in the Neon MCP server let AI agents configure OAuth providers and email providers via natural language. Neon also integrates with Stripe Projects, allowing AI agents to provision Postgres databases via the Stripe CLI.

Neon disables full-page writes across all projects, delivering up to 5x performance improvement on write-heavy workloads. Organization-wide two-factor authentication is now available.

Postgres 18 is now generally available on Neon for production workloads. Organization spending limits can now be managed via the Neon API. The plv8 extension (JavaScript in Postgres) is deprecated and CREATE EXTENSION plv8 is now rejected; pooler_mode and pgbouncer_settings in the Management API are also deprecated with sunset after June 20, 2026. New NAT gateway IPs and VPC endpoint services are available in US East (N. Virginia), and a new guide demonstrates load testing using Neon branching with Grafana k6.

The Neon Postgres plugin is now available in the OpenAI Codex plugin directory, enabling you to create and manage Neon projects, branches, and databases from chat, run SQL and migrations, and get guided help on connections and autoscaling. Snapshot API responses now include full_size and diff_size fields for monitoring snapshot storage. Infrastructure capacity expanded in AWS Asia Pacific (Singapore) with new NAT gateway IPs and VPC endpoint service addresses. Fixed organization notification emails to send to admins only, snapshot restore branch protection inflation, and scheduled compute updates for 8 CU maximum autoscale size.

The Neon Auth page now includes a Plugins tab where Organization plugin settings (limits, creator role, invitation email) moved from Configuration. The Neon Skill is available on skills.sh for compatible coding assistants, providing structured guidance for Neon Postgres connections, branching, Neon Auth, APIs, CLI, and MCP. A new guide covers diagnosing and fixing production errors by connecting Sentry and Neon MCP to isolate database copies and validate fixes before shipping.

The pg_search extension is now deprecated for new Neon projects as of March 19, 2026, and all Azure regions (azure-eastus2, azure-westus3, azure-gwc) are deprecated as of April 7, 2026—existing projects continue to run. AI-assisted shortcuts in the Neon Docs let you copy pages as Markdown or open them in ChatGPT or Claude, and a "Set up Neon with AI" option runs npx neonctl@latest init to configure the Neon MCP Server. Also updated the neon extension to version 1.14 with Local File Cache monitoring, published guides for Mastra and Vercel AI SDK integration, and deprecated the GET /consumption_history/account API endpoint with a June 1, 2026 sunset.
