Quick Setup (< 1 hour)

You can use Neon to create serverless Postgres databases that automatically scale compute and storage based on demand. You get database branching like Git, letting you create instant copies for testing. Databases pause when idle to save costs and resume in milliseconds. Built-in authentication, point-in-time recovery, and compliance features come included. It separates compute from storage, so you only pay for what you use without worrying about capacity planning or resource provisioning.
