Hi, I'm on the PM team over here at Neon working on our pricing/ billing. First off, thanks for the appreciation! It's always gratifying to hear folks being excited about what we are building.

As for pricing 1) everything will be consumption based with an option to set guardrails 2) there will be an option to purchase consumption upfront via a "pre pay model" or "pay as you go".

Our goal is to be competitive with the pricing offered by Aurora V2 as we consider Aurora V2 to be one of the standards for serverless databases (even if we disagree with aspects of their approach). The actual numbers are still being worked on as there is further optimization in our product that will help us reduce our unit economics and by extension pass those savings on to our end users.

I understand this is somewhat of a nothing answer but I hope this helps. Is there any other clarification I can add? Also, we are always happy to hear feedback on these decisions. If you want to set up a call or simply share more of your thoughts you can email us at [email protected].
