Leveraging Neon's Serverless Postgres with Qovery Preview Environments
Blog post from Qovery
Neon is transforming the database landscape with its serverless Postgres service, focusing on user experience by dynamically instantiating databases based on demand, which eliminates the need for resource pre-allocation and allows for real-time scaling. This approach ensures optimal resource allocation and cost efficiency, as users are only charged for actual query executions and storage. Neon's automatic handling of backups and updates assures data safety and the use of secure Postgres versions. Compared to AWS Aurora and AWS RDS, which offer both serverless and provisioned models with flexible integration within the AWS ecosystem, Neon's open-source foundation promotes transparency and innovation. The service's flexibility and dynamic scalability make it appealing for agile projects, particularly when paired with Qovery's Preview environments, which enhance deployment and testing without infrastructure management concerns. This synergy provides developers with a consistent and economical development experience, aligning seamlessly with Qovery's ethos and ensuring that what is seen in preview matches production scenarios.
