Guides and best practices for working with Neon Serverless Postgres. Covers getting started, local development with Neon, choosing a connection method, Neon features, authentication (@neondatabase/auth), PostgREST-style data API (@neondatabase/neon-js), Neon CLI, and Neon's Platform API/SDKs. Use for any Neon-related questions.
Overview of the Neon platform for apps and agents, spanning Postgres, Auth, Data API, and the new services: Object Storage, Compute Functions, and AI Gateway. Use whenever "Neon" is mentioned for an overview of how to work with Neon and how to get started. Otherwise, the individual capabilities are the triggers: "object storage" or "S3-compatible storage", "serverless functions", "background jobs", or "run code near my database", "AI gateway", "LLM proxy", "model routing", or "call an LLM" → AI Gateway; "database", "Postgres", or "authentication" → Postgres and Auth.
Choose and create the right Neon branch type for testing and development. Use when users ask about Neon branching, migration testing with real data, isolated test environments, schema-only branch workflows for sensitive data, or branch creation via Neon CLI or Neon MCP. Triggers include "Neon branch", "test migrations safely", "branch production data", "schema-only branch", "reset branch" and "sensitive data testing".
S3-compatible object storage that branches with your Neon project, so files and the database stay in sync across every branch. Use when a user wants object storage, a bucket, blob/file storage, or somewhere to put uploads, images, documents, avatars, or user-generated files for their app or agent — especially when they already use (or are setting up) Lakebase Postgres and don't want to add a separate storage provider like AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, or Supabase Storage. Triggers include "object storage", "bucket", "blob storage", "file storage", "store uploads/images/files", "S3-compatible storage", "presigned URL", "where do I put files", "storage logs", "bucket logs", "Neon Object Storage", "Neon Storage", and "storage that branches with my database".
Long-running, serverless Node.js HTTP functions deployed onto your Neon branch, with DATABASE_URL injected automatically and compute that runs next to your data. Use when a user wants to host an API, an AI agent with long streaming responses, a WebSocket or server-sent-events (SSE) server, a webhook handler, a Discord bot, an MCP server, or any request/response workload that risks timing out on short, lambda-style serverless functions — and wants it to branch with their database. Triggers include "serverless function", "deploy an API", "long-running function", "streaming agent", "SSE server", "WebSocket server", "webhook handler", "MCP server", "run code next to my database", "function that won't time out", "function logs", "Neon Functions", and "Neon Compute".
Diagnose and fix excessive Postgres egress (network data transfer) in a codebase. Use when a user mentions high database bills, unexpected data transfer costs, network transfer charges, egress spikes, "why is my Neon bill so high", "database costs jumped", SELECT * optimization, query overfetching, reduce Neon costs, optimize database usage, or wants to reduce data sent from their database to their application. Also use when reviewing query patterns for cost efficiency, even if the user doesn't explicitly mention egress or data transfer.
One API and one credential for frontier and open-source LLMs, built into your Neon branch and powered by Databricks. Use when a user wants to call an LLM, add AI/chat/an agent to their app, route between model providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google/Gemini, Meta, Alibaba, DeepSeek), or avoid juggling separate provider API keys and accounts — especially when they already use Neon and want AI requests to branch with their project. Works with the OpenAI SDK, Anthropic SDK, google-genai, the Vercel AI SDK, and Mastra by changing only the base URL. Triggers include "call an LLM", "add AI to my app", "chat completion", "model routing", "LLM proxy/gateway", "one API for all models", "use Claude/GPT/Gemini", "AI SDK", "Mastra agent", "Neon AI Gateway", and "log/rate-limit AI calls".
Add authentication to a new app. Use for "add auth", "add login", Neon Auth (Managed Better Auth), identity routing, sign-up, sign-in, password reset, email OTP, magic links, organizations, phone OTP, OAuth, passkeys, MFA, trusted domains, invalid domain, and @neondatabase/auth. No existing identity: default to Managed Better Auth. Keep working Better Auth, Clerk, Supabase Auth, or another IdP. User asked to migrate from Supabase Auth: Managed Better Auth. A required plugin outside Managed support: self-managed Better Auth on a Neon Function or the existing app host. Also use for auth APIs in @neondatabase/neon-js.
Neon Realtime makes any SQL query live. Build realtime, reactive apps and agents on Lakebase Postgres with live SQL queries and reactivity primitives. Use when app UI or agent state must update live from database rows (dashboards, feeds, collaboration, multi-user or multi-device sync), for optimistic mutations, or to replace polling or other realtime sync systems. Triggers include "live query", "subscribe", "sync engine", "useLiveQuery", "TanStack DB", "optimistic updates", "@neon/realtime". For push that doesn't come from database rows (presence, typing, LLM streams), use neon-functions.
Sets up Neon Auth in Next.js App Router applications. Configures API routes, middleware, server components, and UI. Use when adding auth-only to Next.js apps (no database needed).
Neon + Vercel serverless Postgres for edge and serverless environments. Use for Cloudflare Workers, Vercel Edge, Next.js apps with HTTP/WebSocket connections, database branching (git-like), Drizzle/Prisma ORM integration, migrations, PITR backups, or encountering connection pool exhausted errors, TCP connection issues, SSL config problems.
Configures Neon Serverless Driver for Next.js, Vercel Edge Functions, AWS Lambda, and other serverless environments. Installs @neondatabase/serverless, sets up environment variables, and creates working API route examples with TypeScript types. Use when users need to connect their application to Neon, fetch or query data from a Neon database, integrate Neon with Next.js or serverless frameworks, or set up database access in edge/serverless environments where traditional PostgreSQL clients don't work.
