Neon and Vercel overview
Learn about different options for integrating Neon with Vercel
Neon supports different options for integrating Neon and Vercel, including a native integration that you can install from the Vercel Marketplace, a "previews integration" that creates a database branch with every pull request, and a manual setup option. If you're currently a Vercel Postgres user, you'll also find information below about the upcoming transition from Vercel Postgres to Neon.
Option 1: Add the Native Integration on Vercel
This integration is intended for Vercel users who want to add Neon Postgres to their Vercel project as a first-party native integration. The integration creates a Neon Postgres account for you if you do not have one. You get access to Neon features and plans. Billing is managed through Vercel.
Option 2: Add the Postgres Previews Integration
This integration is intended for users who are registered with Neon directly. The Postgres Previews Integration is a connectable account integration that connects your Vercel project to a Neon database and creates a database branch with each Vercel preview deployment.
Option 3: Connect your Vercel project to Neon manually (no integration)
This setup simply involves setting environment variables in Vercel to connect your Vercel Project to your Neon database.
Transitioning from Vercel Postgres?
important
Starting in Q4, 2024, Vercel will transition Vercel Postgres stores to the Native Vercel Integration for Neon Postgres. Until November, you can continue using Vercel Postgres as usual. The transition will follow the principles outlined below:
- Zero downtime, so there's no impact on user applications
- Integrated billing in Vercel
- Access to all Neon features and plans
No action is required on your part. Vercel will perform the transition for you.
After the transition, you will be able to manage your databases via the Native Vercel Integration from the Storage tab on your Vercel Dashboard. You will also be able to access your databases from the Neon Console.
To learn more, please refer to the Vercel announcement and the Neon announcement.
