Neon uses branch-per-project storage; per-project compute endpoints (ep-*.neon.tech) are not probed here. These checks confirm reachability of the shared platform surfaces only.

About Neon

Neon is a serverless Postgres platform with instant branching, autoscaling compute, and a scale-to-zero cold path. It targets developers who want Postgres semantics with a Vercel-like DX.

Common Neon issues

  • Cold-start latency

    Idle compute suspends automatically. First query wakes it; expect a few hundred ms on the wake path.

  • Branch limit reached

    Each plan caps concurrent branches. Delete stale preview branches from CI, or upgrade the plan.

  • Pooler vs direct URL mix-up

    Use the pooled connection string for serverless clients and the direct URL for long-lived workers and migrations.

Background

Neon was founded in 2021 by Nikita Shamgunov and the team that built the storage engine behind Aurora-style separation of compute and storage, applied to Postgres. It became the flagship serverless-Postgres brand and was acquired by Databricks in 2025.

Frequently asked

Is Neon really Postgres?
Yes — Neon runs upstream PostgreSQL with a custom storage layer that separates compute from storage, enabling branching and scale-to-zero.
Why does my first query take a few hundred ms?
Scale-to-zero cold starts: an idle compute node has to wake before serving the first query. Set a longer suspend timeout or keep a min compute if latency matters.

About this check

All data is provided on a best-effort basis with no guarantees about accuracy or availability. This is an unofficial status page and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Neon.

Checks run client-side from your browser against Neon's public endpoints. Latency reflects your network path, not the server's health alone. See our resources for more on how to read these checks.
