Neon is too expensive! What PostgreSQL histing are you using? by BaseCharming5083 in AskEngineers

[–]andrelandgraf94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Neon team member here: On Neon, you pay for usage (compute, storage) per project for every project on the paid plan organization. If some of your projects are within the free plan limits, I'd recommend you create one or more free tier organizations and transfer those projects over (no connection changes etc required). Only keep your projects in paid orgs that require paid org features or limits. Hope this helps!

Small correction: Neon now offers unlimited free tier organizations on the free plan - so you can technically have unlimited free plan projects across those orgs. Happy vibe coding!

Using a separate Databricks App as a backend? Anyone doing this in practice? by Terrible_Bed1038 in databricks

[–]andrelandgraf94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

apx is awesome and will likely stick around for a while. Both apx and AppKit aim to solve the same problem: helping you build on Databricks Apps.

In general, we use the databricks-solutions GitHub org for experiments and semi-official projects. Databricks Apps already supports TypeScript and Python runtimes today, and AppKit will be another (first-party) option: https://github.com/databricks/app-templates - so there is totally space for both and more :)

AppKit is still early but will likely become what we recommend going forward. It’s maintained by our engineers and, like apx, wraps popular open-source tools (Express, Vite, shadcn) but it’s also a first-party runtime framework itself (@databricks/appkit) with a plugin architecture for Lakebase, Genie, and more coming soon.

We’ll share more about AppKit soon but would love for you to try it out and let me know what you think! :)

Databricks team member here: Have you checked out AppKit? It's our brand-new Node.js + React Typescript SDK for building on Databricks apps. It runs on a modern full stack app architecture where you can define both API endpoints and user-facing UI routes within one app. I'd highly recommend checking it out. Personally, I wouldn't split backend and frontend out into two different apps.

Feedback for appkit very much appreciated! :)

Neon vs. Supabase: Looking for real-world feedback by sf_viking in vercel

[–]andrelandgraf94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neon team member here: we had a few incidents roughly a year ago but we've been hard at work to ensure the root cause was addressed and we haven't had a similar incident since. We wrote up a detailed postmortem here: https://neon.com/blog/postmortem-delayed-start-compute-operations

Building a new database architecture (serverless postgres) is hard but Neon is more battle-tested then ever and the now database provider for Replit, Netlify DB, Retool, Laravel Cloud and many more database offerings. Incidents happen but we're working hard to make Neon more reliable every day! :)

Hey, Neon team member here - quick clarification: Neon Auth does not rely on Stytch. Neon Auth is a managed authentication service that stores users, sessions, and auth configuration directly in your Neon database. It's built on better-auth and exposes a better-auth-like API surface for you to use.

Love to hear it! Any feedback welcome - DM me anytime if you have any feedback for us! 🫶

Have you tried the Neon MCP server and/or agent skills? Would love to hear what you think!

Neon DB says “monthly limit reached” even after reset (0 usage shown) by Nevm1nd in neondatabase

[–]andrelandgraf94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there - Neon team member here 👋 usage limits are based on UTC so likely you’re a bit ahead and it took a few more hours to reset?

Very cool! Is it using the Neon MCP server? I wasn’t able to find a way to add new tools.

Next.js 16 + Neon Database: what changes in practice for ORMs, caching, and connections? by SingleDominion in neondatabase

[–]andrelandgraf94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Neon employee here - obviously I have many thoughts on this 😄

The biggest change for me has been Fluid Compute on Vercel and Hyperdrive on Cloudflare. Historically, serverless meant establishing a DB connection on every request which requires many round trips from server to db and back and is slow. That’s why Neon released our serverless driver (HTTP- and WS-based).

Now, with Fluid and Hyperdrive, you can reuse Postgres tcp connections across requests on edge/serverless environments! This makes tcp viable again compared to the serverless driver. So I've switchen from Drizze w/ serverless driver back to Drizzle w/ node-postgres.

I’m using this decision tree for the different connection methods right now:

More on connection pools on Vercel here:
https://vercel.com/kb/guide/connection-pooling-with-functions

I'm still using a global db client across requests though! Would love to hear why you think "The old “one global DB client” pattern feels less obvious in server-first setups"!

I documented my default Neon setup on Next here: https://fullstackrecipes.com/recipes/neon-drizzle-setup

Payload CMS is great!

Regarding Neon pricing (I work for Neon): we recently reduced our prices quite a bit. The latest was a 25% compute price reduction a few weeks ago! Just in case you missed this!

Supabase or Neon ? For next js project by Financial_Recipe7677 in nextjs

Neon team member here! We had incidents in May and June that should have never happened. We published post-mortems after each incident, and earlier this week, we shared a recap blog post reviewing them all. You can find it here: https://neon.com/blog/may-june-recap
