    Neon: Serverless Postgres. We separated storage and compute to offer autoscaling, branching, and bottomless storage.

  • 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?

  • PostgreSQL

    PostgreSQL client for node.js.

  • pg doesn't do too well with serverless, dead connections are left in the pool (or something)

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

    Neon serverless Postgres database helm chart

  • Neon seems really great to me, but I wish I could easily run it locally via Kubernetes. I know there are some projects out there[0] but they are all supported by 3rd parties and things like branching and other features don't appear to be supported.

    I'd love to be able to just use a helm chart to have Neon in my homelab.
