Neon has introduced a new feature that allows users to set expiration dates for branches, automating their cleanup and enhancing management for large-scale development environments. This feature is especially beneficial for teams utilizing Neon's branching model with Postgres, which enables the creation of isolated, production-like copies of data for various workflows such as developer environments, live feature previews, and CI pipeline tests. By allowing branches to expire automatically, Neon reduces the manual workload associated with managing ephemeral environments, prevents storage clutter from unused branches, and supports efficient serverless deployments and versioned app timelines. The feature is accessible through the Neon API, CLI, and Console, offering a streamlined approach to maintaining clean and resource-efficient development projects.
