The latest product updates from Neon

A new Python SDK for the Neon API

Neon has a new Python SDK, which is a wrapper for the Neon API. This SDK simplifies integration of Python applications with Neon by providing methods to programmatically manage Neon API keys, projects, branches, databases, endpoints, roles, and operations.

It's easy to install with pip:

$ pip install neon-api

Then, from Python:

from neon_api import NeonAPI

# Initialize the client.
neon = NeonAPI.from_environ() or NeonAPI(api_key='your_api_key')

# Get the current user
user = neon.me()
print(user)

For more, see Python SDK for the Neon API.

Did you know?

In addition to the new Python SDK, Neon offers a TypeScript SDK for the Neon API. There are also community-maintained SDKs available for Go and Node.js. Learn more.

A Migration Assistant to help move your data

When you're ready to move your data to Neon, our new Migration Assistant can help. All you need to get started is a connection string for your existing database.

Enter your current database connection string, and the Assistant will:

  1. Run some preliminary checks on your database.
  2. Create a Neon project that best matches your current environment.
  3. Provide pg_dump and pg_restore commands to transfer your data, pre-populated with the correct connection strings.

For more, see Neon Migration Assistant.

This feature is currently in Beta. If you have feedback, we'd love to hear it. Let us know via the Feedback form in the Neon Console or our feedback channel on Discord.

Organization account support for Vercel and GitHub integrations

Our Vercel Previews and GitHub integrations are now supported on Organization accounts. In case you're not familiar:

  • The Vercel Previews Integration connects your Vercel project to a Neon database and creates a database branch with each Vercel preview deployment.
  • The GitHub Integration connects your Neon projects to corresponding GitHub repositories, letting you bring your database to your DevOps workflow.

You can now make both integrations available to your Neon organization.

timescaledb extension support for Postgres 17

We added support for the timescaledb extension, version 2.17.1, to Postgres 17.

For a complete list of Postgres extensions supported by Neon, see Postgres extensions.

And don't forget to check out this week's fixes and improvements:

Fixes & improvements
  • IP Allow

    We addressed an issue for IP Allow users connecting over VPN where an Access Denied modal appeared repeatedly on the SQL Editor and Tables pages in the Neon Console. To prevent this, we added a "Do not ask again" checkbox to allow users to silence the modal.

  • Neon API updates

    We added two new endpoints for managing Neon Organizations members:

  • Time Travel Assist

    Ephemeral compute suspend timeouts for Time Travel Assist have been increased from 10 to 30 seconds. Time Travel Assist enables querying any point in your history using temporary branches and computes, which are automatically cleaned up after use. After 30 seconds of inactivity, the branch is deleted, and the endpoint is removed.
