FAQ

What does 'serverless' mean in the context of Neon?

It means Neon manages the infrastructure for you. It automatically scales resources up or down as needed, so you don't have to worry about it.

What are 'branching' and 'instant restore'?

Branching allows you to create isolated copies of your database for testing or development. Instant restore lets you quickly revert to a previous database state.

Can I use Neon with any programming language?

Yes, as long as your language or framework supports the Postgres database, you can use it with Neon.
