Neon wants to be your whole backend, not just the database

  • Announced

The serverless-Postgres company spent two years being a database. As of Friday it wants to be the backend. Neon's changelog frames three services as live — Postgres, Auth, and the Data API — with object storage, managed compute, and an AI gateway listed as next. The vision is the news; whether it lands is a question for later quarters. Underneath the positioning is the usual run of concrete work. Schema diff now handles 20,000 lines instead of 8,000, so production schemas actually fit when you compare branches. A new `GET /consumption_history/v2/branches` endpoint breaks six usage metrics out per branch rather than per project — handy when CI spins up a branch per pipeline. On the security side, Auth webhooks now reject raw-IP URLs and accept only HTTPS hostnames, and the `pg_ivm` extension is no longer offered to new projects, though existing installs are untouched.
