About

Neon is a serverless PostgreSQL platform that decouples compute from storage, enabling instant branching, autoscaling, and true scale-to-zero. Developers get a standard Postgres connection string with no proprietary APIs, plus Git-style database branches for testing, staging, and isolated agent sessions. Acquired by Databricks in 2025, Neon now serves over 18,000 customers and has emerged as a leading Postgres backend for AI agent workloads, where databases are spun up programmatically at scale.
