How to build a serverless app with Neon Postgres and Webflow Cloud

Webflow Cloud's built-in storage options are suitable for basic needs, but for more complex database operations like those requiring full Postgres capabilities, additional implementations like Neon, a serverless Postgres database, are necessary. Neon stands out for its ability to autoscale to zero when idle, branch like a git repository, and use HTTP connections, making it compatible with environments such as Cloudflare Workers. This guide demonstrates how to build a waitlist application using Neon and Webflow Cloud, requiring a Neon project, a Webflow Cloud App, and the @neondatabase/serverless driver, eliminating the need for extra infrastructure. It walks through setting up a waitlist table, configuring a connection string, and creating write and read endpoints to handle email submissions and return signup counts, respectively, while offering suggestions for extending functionality with tools like Drizzle ORM for type-safe queries and schema migrations.
