Neon

Recently shipped neon api, a raw-passthrough CLI command, and @neon/sdk, a new TypeScript client.

CLI is now neon, and a new API passthrough ships. The CLI renamed from neonctl to neon (npm i -g neon), requiring Node.js 20.19+. The neon api command calls any Neon Platform API route from the terminal using the existing CLI login, without hand-building curl or giving agents raw API keys. Run neon api --list to browse every route from the OpenAPI spec.

@neon/sdk replaces the old API client. The new, fetch-based, zero-dependency TypeScript client for the Neon API is generated from the OpenAPI spec. Its createAndConnect method provisions a project, waits for ops to finish, and returns a ready-to-use connection string in a single call.

Full backend stack enters private preview. Storage (S3-compatible, branches with data), Functions (serverless compute running alongside Postgres), and AI Gateway (unified proxy for Claude, GPT, Gemini) are now in private preview. Agent skill files cover all three services.

neon.ts ships as infrastructure-as-code. A neon.ts file declares services with type-safe env vars and branch settings in TypeScript, replacing manual CLI commands for provisioning multiple Neon services in a project.

Vercel CLI can provision Neon in one command. Running vercel integration add neon lets agents create a database, retrieve the connection string, and start building without a browser login.

Lakebase Search went GA, and the CLI gained neon link, checkout, env pull (with stale-var pruning), bootstrap, bucket object commands with --recursive and folder-collapsed defaults, and function commands with cursor pagination.
