## Notes

Neon is an open source serverless Postgres database platform that separates storage from compute. Its compute nodes are stateless PostgreSQL nodes backed by the Neon storage engine, as the [README](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/neondatabase/neon/main/README.md) explains. The repository can be compiled and run on a workstation. A hosted service under the same name runs the database for apps and is billed by usage. Databricks acquired Neon.

## Worth knowing

The README limits the local setup to small experiments and to testing code changes. The repository keeps receiving commits, but its GitHub release list has stopped.
