Neon has introduced an automatic archive storage feature to reduce storage costs for its users by charging a lower per-GB rate for inactive branches—those idle for at least a day and older than two weeks—starting December 1st. This reduction in costs is achieved by evicting inactive branch data from the high-performance SSD cache, instead keeping it in cloud object storage, which lowers the expenses associated with maintaining constantly active Pageservers and Safekeepers. Although accessing archived data incurs a minor initial performance delay as it reloads into SSD storage, the savings in storage costs are passed on to users, with archive storage billed at a reduced rate of $0.1 per GB-month. The new storage model requires no action from users, allowing them to benefit from cost savings automatically.
