Twin Scores side by side
Neon

Neon is serverless Postgres with database branching: copy-on-write branches for preview apps, scale-to-zero compute, and a genuine Postgres wire protocol. The console is fine. The API and CLI are how you create a branch per pull request, which is the agent job. Humans who.
Amazon Web Services

Agent91
AWS is the default public cloud: compute, storage, data, and a console that overwhelms newcomers. Human Twin Score is middling because the console and naming are a tax. Agent Twin Score is excellent because everything is an API, the CLI is real, and IAM is the most.
