Summary

Proposales, a company aiding hoteliers in creating data-driven proposals, successfully integrated Neon into their development workflow to address the challenges posed by using AWS RDS for PostgreSQL, which was both costly and problematic for collaborative development. By adopting Neon, Proposales managed to maintain RDS for production while utilizing Neon's database branching capabilities for development, allowing their developers to test new features with production-like data without impacting other team members' work. This transition not only facilitated seamless collaboration but also enabled efficient testing and deployment processes. Neon's branching feature proved beneficial for Proposales' latest feature testing, offering a streamlined approach to database management. Moreover, Proposales explored further integration possibilities with Neon, such as using Git Hooks to synchronize local git branches with Neon database branches, illustrating the flexibility and potential of Neon's database branching in enhancing development workflows.
