Neon – Serverless Postgres

Re:Neon – Serverless Postgres by nikita on Saturday May 28, 2022 @02:31AM (#31538082)

Hi Mani! For sure there are many serverless options - fewer that separated storage and compute and fewer that are open source end-to-end. Neon is also 100% compatible with Postgres (unlike CockroachDB) because compute is Postgres.

Our intention is to standardize the separation of storage and compute cloud architecture - that's why it's open source under the Apache 2.0 license.

You should update your HN profile :). Neon looks really great. Far more interesting to me and my team than S2.

I noticed you mention Azure BS in your RFCs as a potential backend. Have you done much work towards that yet?

For now we've focused on making the product production-ready on AWS, so that we can get users to try it out. Once the model has been proven we'll likely branch out to other clouds.

However, if you really can't wait to run Neon on Azure, you could contribute the integration yourself: the code is available under Apache 2 at https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/

Exact reason why I asked :) Thanks for the response & all the work you're putting in, it looks really promising.

Haven't done anything with Azure yet. Shouldn't be hard to add though, we don't rely on any special cloud storage features, just simple upload/download of files.
