Neon, a cloud-native serverless Postgres solution, offers a "scale to zero" feature that benefits both serverless and traditional long-running applications by suspending database instances during inactivity, thereby reducing costs. This capability is particularly advantageous for MVC-type frameworks like Ruby on Rails and Django, enabling applications to manage connection lifecycle more efficiently and handle reconnection seamlessly when new queries are initiated. The article illustrates configuring Postgres drivers, employing client-side pooling to improve performance, and integrating this functionality into a Node.js application using HTMX, Fastify, and Drizzle ORM, demonstrating significant performance improvements. The discussion emphasizes Neon's compatibility with existing Postgres drivers and highlights the cost-saving potential for non-production environments, encouraging developers to explore Neon's features and share their experiences.
