• How to ditch Neon

  If you're reading this you probably got a really steep bill from Neon after finding yourself on their "Scale" plan. If you do want to stay with Neon but avoid surprise bills then go to the Plans page and choose what you actually want. - Source: dev.to / about 17 hours ago

• Serverless Postgres with Neon - My first impression

  Such is the case with Neon, a serverless Postgres service, that went generally available on April 15. Congrats Nikita Shamgunov and team on the launch. When I saw the announcement, I knew I had to try it out for myself and report back with my findings. - Source: dev.to / 8 days ago

  Migrated away when they removed the free tier, ended up using https://neon.tech/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Parsing the Postgres protocol – logging executed statements

  Cool! At Neon[0], I work full time on our custom postgres proxy[1]. It's a very nice protocol to work with, although our usecase is quite a bit more complex compared to the ideas presented in the post. Neon databases scale to zero, so the proxy needs to spin up databases on the fly. The proxy doesn't do that but it knows if the databases is running and asks our control plane to schedule it if it isn't. It's a fun... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• PlanetScale performs layoff and prioritizes profitability

  Yea this seems like a gift for https://neon.tech/, https://turso.tech/ and https://developers.cloudflare.com/d1/. Planetscale is definitely popular and they get a lot of free advertisement from tech influencers (may change without the free tier) but most people I know in enterprise haven't heard of it. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Ask HN: What web development stack do you prefer in 2024?

  Most my personal and side-business projects have very spiky load or just low load in general. Because of that I love using AWS Lambda as my backend since it scales to 0 and scales to whatever you have your limits set at. I use SST [0] for my backend with NodeJS (TypeScript) and Vue (Quasar) for my frontend. For my database I use either Postgres or DynamoDB if the fit is right (Single Table Design is really neat).... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Basic analytics with Vercel Postgres, Drizzle & Astro

  I used Vercel Postgres as my database and Astro as my frontend framework. Vercel Postgres is basically a wrapper around Neon, a serverless SQL server provider. Setting up the database is pretty straightforward, I just followed the docs and got my database up and running in no time. Once my database was up and running, the time came to set up the database schema. The schema is pretty simple, it consists of a... - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• Help me figure out architecture and stack for a DRF mobile app (personal project)

  However I don't want a local database, I want to take the chance to use a cloud service (never had before), but of course it needs to be free since this is just a personal project, I was thinking maybe Neon. But how about Heroku or Google Cloud? Maybe something for authentication too? Source: 5 months ago

• Show HN: HighContext.ai – Serverless JSON Blob Storage

  When a blob is saved, first I write it to Postgres (https://neon.tech), so ensures there's a persisting backup. However, it's typically a waste of money to store infrequently accessed blobs in disk with Postgres over months and years. After 4-6 weeks data is offloaded to object storage - so that you benefit from low long term storage costs. The lifecycle of a blob works out roughly something like as follows, based... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Introducing CloudKit - A production ready Cloudflare Sveltekit template

  Neon.Tech Database - I've been using their free tier for ages without hitting any limits so far. The only reason I went ahead and upgraded was because you can only have one project on the free tier. They don't charge you for a month if the bill is under 50 Cent. It's very affordable for what you're getting. Seriously, check them out. - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

• Authentication part 3 using NestJS and Postgres database neon.tech

  We are going to start using TypeORM as an ORM to help us interact with Postgres, but we also have an example of using Prisma in the future and everything that we have to adapt to switch the ORMs if necessary. At the end we are implementing neon.tech as a production database, right? 😉. - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago
