Neon released a Grok Bot plugin that lets the AI assistant manage Neon PostgreSQL databases. After a one‑time auth, the bot can create projects, spin up isolated branches, run SQL, list databases, and set up usage‑summary routines directly from chat.
Neon Labs is a new experimental web app (Next.js + TypeScript) that offers two PostgreSQL upgrade tools: a live‑catalog Upgrade Assessment that flags version‑specific blockers, and a Migration Assistant that auto‑generates import, pg_dump/restore, or logical‑replication pipelines based on DB size and downtime needs. The tools run read‑only against a Neon project, never expose connection strings,…
Neon renamed its CLI to `neon` and added a suite of commands for agent onboarding, branch‑first development, diagnostics, credential management, schema diffing, API fallback, snapshots, auth, Data API, and a built‑in psql client. The post lists usage examples and flags for each new feature.
Neon's Lakebase Postgres redefines database storage by making the WAL the source of truth, stored on S3, rather than data files. This transaction-centric approach enables instant branching, time travel, and scalable, decoupled compute and storage for Postgres.
Neon AI Gateway provides fast inference for open-weight LLMs by utilizing Databricks' optimized serving stack. This stack incorporates techniques like prompt caching, continuous batching with KV-cache paging, and a TensorRT-LLM backend, leading to significant improvements in throughput and latency.
Neon has introduced new capabilities to query backend logs for Neon Functions and Object Storage outside of the console. This includes a new CLI, API, SDK, and direct Loki endpoint access, allowing unified log inspection across different backend services on a branch.
Neon AI Gateway integrates LLM calls directly into the Neon backend, offering a unified API for various models (frontier and open-weight) and consolidating billing. It extends Neon's branching capabilities to LLM endpoints, allowing each development branch to have its own isolated AI Gateway host and credentials.
Vercel CLI now integrates Neon, allowing users to provision a Neon database and install its agent skills with a single command. This streamlines database setup for Vercel projects, including automatic isolated branches for preview deployments.
Neon for Herdr is a new Herdr plugin that integrates Neon database management directly into your terminal workspace. It enables developers to create branches, manage computes, and retrieve connection strings without leaving their editor or shell.
Neon Functions are server‑less Node.js 24 compute that run on the same branch and region as Neon’s Lakebase Postgres, giving low‑latency DB access, long‑running connections for agents/WebSockets, automatic credential injection, and branch‑aware deployment via neon.ts. They’re meant for data‑adjacent backend logic, not full‑stack hosting, and future plans include native cron and event triggers.
Databricks announced that the Electric team, creators of the WASM‑compiled Postgres engine PGlite and a real‑time sync layer, is joining Neon. The integration adds an embedded Postgres database and continuous sync primitive to Neon’s platform, aiming to lower compute costs for small, agent‑driven apps.
