I have been using it for more than a year now. I have seen people complain that the uptime for Neon is not good. However, in my case, it has always been a reliable database provider, and I have never faced any issues with it. My only complaint was about the pricing; they have switched from usage-based pricing to subscription-based pricing, which seems to be a common trend these days for generating revenue. Although it now charges monthly, it is still affordable for any development team with substantial usage. The way it works under the hood is simply awesome and truly serverless.

Neon is very easy to use. You create an account and a project, you get a database string, and that’s that. It’s still the Postgres that you’re used to! OpusFlow loves it!

I knew I needed a robust Postgres database for WriteRush's user accounts and subscription data. As a solo dev, the idea of managing a traditional database was daunting. Neon's serverless Postgres was great! The setup took literally 5 minutes. It scales automatically, the developer experience is fantastic, and the ability to branch my database like I branch my code is awesome. Neon gave WriteRush a production-grade database with zero overhead, letting me focus on building the app itself.

Neon is one of the most developer-friendly hosted database-as-a-service platforms that exists. With just a few clicks, a fresh auto-scaling PG database is ready to go. Adding and managing extensions like pg_vector (and others) are incredibly easy too. Toolable.ai is powered by Neon.

Chose to go with Neon over other database solutions because of its serverless PostgreSQL setup, lightning fast performance, and super smooth developer experience. The branching and autoscaling features made testing and scaling so much easier compared to traditional DB setups we came across.
