Serverless managed Postgres with pgvector extension for vector search, featuring compute-storage separation, instant scaling, database branching, and RLS for multi-tenancy. Optimized for serverless workloads in AI apps with auto-suspend to zero cost. Delivers Postgres SQL capabilities plus vectors, better than dedicated DBs for developer workflows and transactional AI use cases.
Neon is a serverless PostgreSQL platform that combines traditional database capabilities with modern cloud-native features, offering native pgvector support for AI and vector search applications.
vs Dedicated Vector DBs: Full Postgres SQL (joins, analytics, ACID) + vectors vs specialized but limited querying.
| Feature | Neon + pgvector | Dedicated (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate) |
|---|---|---|
| Serverless Scaling | Instant, scale-to-zero | Usage-based |
| SQL + Vectors | Native hybrid | Often separate |
| Branching | Git-like | None |
| Cost for Idle | $0 | Minimums |
Compute per active hour, storage per GB-month.
