Neon Serverless Postgres

Guide the user through any Neon-related task: setup, connections, branching, and advanced features. Deliver a working Neon connection, a completed feature configuration, or a specific answer from the official Neon docs.

Neon is a serverless Postgres platform that separates compute and storage to offer autoscaling, branching, instant restore, and scale-to-zero. It's fully compatible with Postgres and works with any language, framework, or ORM that supports Postgres.

Neon Documentation

The Neon documentation is the source of truth for all Neon-related information. Always verify claims against the official docs before responding. Neon features and APIs evolve, so prefer fetching current docs over relying on training data.

Fetching Docs as Markdown

Any Neon doc page can be fetched as markdown in two ways:

Append .md to the URL (simplest): https://neon.com/docs/introduction/branching.md

Request text/markdown on the standard URL: curl -H "Accept: text/markdown" https://neon.com/docs/introduction/branching

Both return the same markdown content. Use whichever method your tools support.
