Neon has expanded the number of projects included in its Free Plan to offer more value to developers, driven by infrastructure efficiency and its recent integration with Databricks' global infrastructure, which has reduced operating costs. Rather than increasing profit margins, Neon aims to make its pricing highly competitive and ensure its Free Plan is genuinely useful for developers working on various projects, much like a default choice for Postgres needs. The architecture of Neon, which separates compute and storage, allows it to efficiently support numerous projects by reducing idle costs and enabling autoscaling. This strategy is designed to position Neon as a go-to platform for developers, facilitating seamless project beginnings and long-term usage without imposing restrictive costs.
