How 222 uses Neon to handle their frequent spikes in demand

222, a platform designed to facilitate unique social experiences in cities like Los Angeles and New York, leverages Neon's serverless database features to efficiently manage fluctuating traffic demands. Originally operating through SMS and Airtable, 222 transitioned to Neon's managed Postgres service to support their expanding user base and the launch of their iOS app. Neon's autoscaling capabilities allow 222 to handle traffic peaks during events and experience invitations without additional engineering effort, while the database's branching feature enables safe schema migrations through development and testing environments. This setup allows 222 to focus on refining its product offering by connecting members with curated events, alleviating the team from extensive database management duties.
