Roadmap

Our development teams are focused on helping you ship faster with Postgres. This roadmap describes committed features we're working on right now, what we delivered recently, and a peek at what's on the horizon.

What we're working on now

Here's a snapshot of what we're working on now:

• Larger computes: Coming soon to a region near you.
• Schema-only branches: A feature that lets you create branches that only include your database schema—useful for workflows involving sensitive data.
• HIPAA compliance: We are actively working toward achieving HIPAA readiness, with a target completion by the end of Q2 2025. For more about Neon's compliance milestones, see Compliance.

If you have other feature ideas, let us know.

What we've just launched

• A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Neon: We released an open-source MCP server, enabling AI agents to interact with Neon’s API using natural language for tasks like database creation, SQL queries, and migrations. Read the blog post: Let Claude Manage Your Neon Databases: Our MCP Server is Here.
• Neon in the Azure Marketplace: Neon is now available as an Azure Native Integration, enabling developers to deploy Neon Postgres databases directly from the Azure portal. Read the announcement.
• Archive storage on paid plans: To minimize storage costs on paid plans, we now support automatic archiving of inactive branches (snapshots of your data) in cost-efficient object storage. For more about this feature, see Branch archiving.
• Organizations GA: Organization Accounts are now generally available. Create a new organization, transfer over your projects, invite your team and get started collaborating. Refer to our Organizations docs to learn more.
• Private Networking: Private and secure network access to your compute resources without traversing public networks. Support for AWS PrivateLink is available in Public Beta.
• Schema Diff GitHub Action: This action leverages our Schema Diff feature to compare database schemas across branches and post the differences as a comment on your pull request, streamlining the review process. It's also supported with our Neon GitHub integration.
• Migration Assistant: Helps you migrate data to Neon from other Postgres databases. All you need to get started is a connection string for your existing database. See Neon Migration Assistant for instructions.
• Python SDK: Our new Python SDK wraps the Neon API, allowing you to manage the Neon platform directly from your Python applications.
• Neon in the Vercel Marketplace: Neon is now a first-party native integration in the Vercel Marketplace. This integration lets Vercel users add Postgres to their projects and manage billing directly through Vercel. For details, see Install the Neon Postgres Native Integration on Vercel.
• Archive storage on the Free Plan: Archive storage is now available on the Free Plan for automatically archiving inactive branches. This feature helps minimize storage costs, allowing us to expand the Free Plan even further. Learn more in Branch Archiving.
• Neon Authorize: This feature integrates with third-party authentication providers like Auth0, Clerk, and Stack Auth to bring authorization to your code base by leveraging Postgres Row-Level Security (RLS). Read the announcement and check out the docs.
• Neon on Azure: You can deploy Neon databases on Azure, starting with the East US 2 region. This marks the first milestone on our Azure roadmap—many more exciting updates are on the way, including deeper integrations with the Azure ecosystem. Read the announcement.
• End-to-end RAG pipelines in Postgres: Our new and open source pgrag extension lets you create end-to-end Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines in Postgres. There's no need for additional programming languages or libraries. With the functions provided by pgrag, you can build a complete RAG pipeline directly within your SQL client.
• Support for Analytics with pg_mooncake: This new extension, brought to the community by mooncake.dev, introduces native columnstore tables with DuckDB execution for fast analytics directly in Postgres. Read the announcement.
• Datadog integration: Scale and Business plan users can now export Neon metrics to Datadog.
• Deletion of backup branches created by restore operations: To help minimize storage and keep your Neon project organized, we added support for deleting obsolete backup branches created by restore operations. Previously, these backup branches could not be removed. Learn more.
• Read Replicas on the Free Plan: Read Replicas are now available to all Neon users. Read the announcement
• ISO27110 & ISO27701 compliance: These new certifications add to our growing list of compliance achievements. For more about Neon's compliance milestones, see Compliance.
• Increased limits for Neon projects: We increased the number of projects included in all our paid plans: Launch (100 projects), Scale (1000 projects), and Business (5000 projects). More projects supports use cases such as database-per-tenant and AI agents. Read the announcement.
• A new Postgres toolkit for AI agents and test environments: We recently announced an experimental release of the @neondatabase/toolkit. This toolkit lets you spin up a Postgres database in seconds and run SQL queries. It includes both the Neon API Client and the Neon Serverless Driver, making it an excellent choice for AI agents that need to quickly set up an SQL database, or for test environments where manually deploying a new database isn't practical. To learn more, see Why we built @neondatabase/toolkit.
• Postgres 17: You can now run the very latest version of Postgres on Neon. Read the announcement.
• SQL Editor AI features: We added AI features to the Neon SQL Editor, including SQL generation, AI-generated query names, and an AI assistant that will fix your queries. Learn more.
• A new Business plan with more compute and storage: This new plan provides higher storage and compute allowances (500 GB-month storage and 1,000 compute hours) in addition to all of Neon's advanced features. It also offers potential cost savings for customers requiring more storage than our Scale plan provides. To learn more, please refer to our Pricing page and Plans documentation.
• Data migration support with inbound logical replication: We've introduced inbound logical replication as the first step toward enabling seamless, low-downtime migrations from your current database provider to Neon. This feature allows you to use Neon as your development environment, taking advantage of developer-friendly tools like branching and our GitHub integration, even if you keep production with your existing provider. To get started, explore our guides for replicating data from AlloyDB, Aurora, CloudSQL, and RDS. See Replicate data to Neon. Inbound logical replication also supports migrating data between Neon projects, useful for version, region, or account migrations. See Replicate data from one Neon project to another.

What's on the horizon

And here's a quick list of what we'll be taking on in the near future:

• More regions: Let's us know where you would like to see Neon next: Request a region.
• Postgres for AI agents: Replit partnered with Neon to back Replit Agents, which are already creating thousands of Postgres databases. If you’re building an AI agent that interacts with infrastructure, we’d like to connect with you — we’re looking for design partners in this space. For more, see Postgres for AI Agents.
• Staging Environments: A critical part of making it easy for you to use Neon as the staging environment for your team's app development — simple, robust anonymization of PII data. We're working on it.
• Snapshots: Create regularly scheduled snapshots as a way to archive your database — a cost-effective alternative to long-lived branches.
• Support for exporting logs and traces: We'd like to help users further integrate Neon into their monitoring platforms and services with exportable Postgres logs and traces.
• Foreign Data Wrapper (FDW) support: Add functionality to enable cross-database querying capability.
