Neon for humans
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 want Auth+Storage in one box still pick Supabase; humans who want Postgres as infrastructure pick Neon. Twin Score on this directory is 81 for humans and 92 for agents, using the public rubric (interface, onboarding, human docs, collaboration, support, pricing fairness, accessibility, reliability versus API quality, MCP or tool surface, CLI, structured docs, machine auth, quotas, determinism, and skill packaging). Neon is sold by Neon, founded 2021, headquartered in San Francisco, USA / Berlin, Germany. Pricing in public materials: Free; Launch, Scale, Business. Compute and storage separated. Machine capabilities we record: API excellent, MCP basic, CLI excellent, docs excellent, auth API keys; Postgres roles. This page is editorial, not a star rating scraped from users.
