Serverless Postgres with Neon - My first impression
Such is the case with Neon, a serverless Postgres service, that went generally available on April 15. Congrats Nikita Shamgunov and team on the launch. When I saw the announcement, I knew I had to try it out for myself and report back with my findings.

Neon Is Generally Available: Serverless Postgres
I want to use this as a chance to bring attention to a GitHub issue that I think would help reduce friction for Neon:
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/4989
If the Neon driver were to allow us to easily pass in a localhost connection, the development and test experience would be easier. Perhaps Neon could swap to something like this internally: https://github.com/porsager/postgres.
Having run a local dev environment connected to Neon and tests connected to Neon got in our way of adoption. We'd prefer to develop and run tests against a regular Postgres localhost database.
To the PMs of Neon, put yourself in the shoes of a new developer thinking of giving Neon a try. What changes will I have to make to my code and my development workflow?

11 Planetscale alternatives with free tiers
Neon is an open source and cloud-native serverless database platform that focuses on simplicity and ease of use. It supports Postgres databases and offers built-in features like bottomless storage, autoscaling, and branching.

Ask HN: Freelance website builders/maintainers, what's in your 2024 toolkit?
8. https://neon.tech/As you might know not one tool fits all, I still have strong preferences for the following. It helps me get going faster and get things done right first time and helps in ease of maintenance.
Language: Typescript.

Parsing the Postgres protocol – logging executed statements
Cool! At Neon[0], I work full time on our custom postgres proxy[1]. It's a very nice protocol to work with, although our usecase is quite a bit more complex compared to the ideas presented in the post.
Neon databases scale to zero, so the proxy needs to spin up databases on the fly. The proxy doesn't do that but it knows if the databases is running and asks our control plane to schedule it if it isn't. It's a fun service to maintain.
The biggest pain is error handling. Postgres is really bad for error messages and codes. The only available code we can use is usually protocol violation...

Want to avoid MySQL but find PlanetScale really appealing
That said, there are a few folks out there attempting it. As mentioned, Neon attempts branching but has no "merge". Postgres.ai has "thin clones" for similar migration testing but again, no "merge".

Neon – Serverless Postgres
Agreed, this direction is underestimated and should be developed better -- we (Postgres.ai) do it for any Postgres with our Database Lab Engine [1], and Neon would bring even more power if it's installed on production
