Summary

Glide and Neon provide a seamless solution for building and deploying progressive web apps (PWAs) that allow non-technical users to manage Postgres data without requiring coding skills. Neon offers scalable, fully-managed Postgres instances, and when combined with Glide, it enables users to create custom interfaces and dashboards quickly. Glide allows users to connect to Neon-hosted databases, add tables with live two-way sync or run custom queries, and combine data from multiple sources like Excel or Google Sheets using computed columns. Users can customize their app layout with Glide's components, which facilitate data display and user interaction. These components can trigger actions and workflows, including integrations with AI and third-party services. Once the app is ready, it can be published and shared with automatic updates or manual publishing options, providing a user-friendly experience similar to native apps. This integration offers dev teams a way to deliver fully managed PWAs with familiar UIs to users while eliminating DevOps overhead.
