ketteQ uses Neon branching for scenario analysis

ketteQ, a supply chain planning and automation platform, leverages Neon's database branching to efficiently manage multiple scenario analyses for its clients, who often maintain hundreds of scenarios simultaneously. By using Neon's branching capabilities, ketteQ can create individual branches for each scenario, allowing users to test and compare various business outcomes without the need for additional resources. This approach addresses the challenges faced with traditional Postgres offerings, where provisioning new databases for each scenario was complex and time-consuming. Neon's architecture supports seamless creation and management of database branches, utilizing copy-on-write techniques and the ability to scale compute nodes to zero, which reduces resource consumption. This branching capability not only facilitates scenario management for ketteQ but also enhances development processes by enabling real-data testing within development environments, minimizing conflicts and bugs, and integrating smoothly into CI/CD workflows.
