Neon
Open source serverless Postgres database platform that separates storage and compute.
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 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.
