A better way to build with Postgres

Neon is an open-source database company. Our mission is to take everything that developers love about Postgres — reliability, performance, extensibility — and deliver it as a serverless product that helps teams confidently ship reliable and scalable applications faster than ever before.

Developers are at the center of everything we do.

  • Just Be Postgres

    Achieve this by leveraging the pluggable storage layer, preserving the core of Postgres.

  • Easy

    Simplify the life of developers by bringing the serverless consumption model to Postgres.

  • Reliable

    Use modern replication techniques to provide high availability and high durability guarantees.

  • Cost Efficient

    Aim to deliver the best price-performance Postgres service in the world.

Neon is
open-source

We chose the most permissive open-source license, Apache 2.0, and invited the world to participate. You can build and run your own self-hosted instance of Neon.
