Neon separates storage from compute, allowing developers to easily scale their Postgres databases and create branches for test environments. With a usage-based plan called Pro, small-to-medium teams can benefit from unlimited branches, unlimited compute time, and up to 200 GB of storage. Neon's storage architecture is designed to optimize latency, throughput, and cost by using a multi-tier approach and integrating with cloud object stores. The company is building an open-source cloud-native PostgreSQL and has a well-funded startup with expertise in Postgres internals. Neon's storage layer is written in Rust and its cloud control plane is written in Go.
