Neon reimagines Postgres with a serverless architecture. With a generous free tier, scale-to-zero, and true database branching. Copy data and schema in a second and scale resources automatically. Ideal for developers prioritizing scalability and performance.

No, we re not reevaluating our database, but since we launched Shoutouts, Supabase has been among the most shouted out products ever. If 2024 was the year of infra, @Supabase is at the forefront.
At the same time I ve been hearing more about @Neon (17 shoutouts including several top-5 apps, like @Central (YC S24) ).
I m curious: which did you choose (something else?) and why?

I tried Neon a few months ago when attempting to switch away from a self hosted db. It was a horrible experience, customer support was unhelpful, it was glitchy, slow, and laggy, and even before the price increase their pricing was way too high.

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.
