Don't take this the wrong way, because I think serverless postgres is a major achievement. But would you say multitenant means use Nile, and for everything else, use neon?

If you are building a static website (usually your website) or building a social networking product like Facebook, I would not recommend Nile. We recommend Nile for any usecase where you are serving multiple groups of users. In our experience, 95% of applications in the market today seem to fall into this category.
We’re the first database that virtualizes tenants into the database. This enables seamless tenant isolation, per-tenant backups, and placement on multi-tenant or dedicated infrastructure anywhere on the planet. You can do all this with the experience of a single Postgres.
Here are some examples that can help you to understand the type of use cases. Most applications are multi-tenant and this is what we help with.
1. GitHub helps a group of developers manage and deploy their code. Each Github organization is a tenant, and the developers within those organizations are users. 2. Salesforce or Hubspot helps sales reps manage their leads. Each company is a tenant, and the users are the sales reps. 3. Ring is a home security company that provides alarm services to different households. Each household is a tenant, and people living in a house using their service are users. 4. Toast is a platform to help build software for restaurants. The restaurants are tenants, and the employees of the restaurants are the users.
