Azure Marketplace

Neon is available on the Azure Marketplace as an Azure Native ISV Service, allowing you to work with Neon the same way you work with other native solutions from Microsoft. Billing is handled directly through Azure, and you can choose from Neon pricing plans when setting up the integration.

Prerequisites for setting up the Neon integration

• Azure account: If you don't have an active Azure subscription, create a free account.
• Access level: Only users with Owner or Contributor access roles on the Azure subscription can set up the integration. Ensure you have the appropriate access before proceeding. For information about assigning roles in Azure, see Steps to assign an Azure role.

Find Neon on Azure and subscribe

1. Use the search bar at the top of the Azure portal to find the Neon Serverless Postgres offering.

   

   Alternatively, go to the Azure Marketplace and search for Neon Serverless Postgres.

2. Subscribe to the service. You will be directed to the Create a Neon Serverless Postgres Resource page.

Create a Neon Resource

1. On the Create a Neon Serverless Postgres Resource page, enter values for the properties described below.

   Property	Description
   Subscription	From the drop-down, select an Azure subscription where you have Owner or Contributor access.
   Resource group	Select an existing Azure resource group or create a new one. A resource group is like a container or a folder used to organize and manage resources in Azure. For more information, see Azure Resource Group overview.
   Resource Name	Enter a name for the Azure resource representing your Neon organization. This name is used only in Azure.
   Region	Select a region to deploy your Azure resource. This is the region for your Azure resource, not for your Neon projects and data. Neon will let you select from supported regions when you create a Neon project, which you'll do after setting up the Neon resource in Azure. For example, you can create a Neon resource is the (US) West US 3 region and create a Neon project (Europe) Germany West Central.in
   Neon Organization name	Provide a name for your Neon Organization, such as a team name or company name. The name you specify will be your Organization name in the Neon Console. Your Neon projects will reside in this named organization.
   Plan	Select a plan. You have three to choose from: Free, Scale, and Business. Select Change Plan to view details about each plan. For more information about Neon's plans, please refer to the Neon Pricing page. The Neon Launch Plan is currently not available in the Azure Marketplace.
   Billing term	Select a billing term for the selected plan. You can choose from a 1-Month or a 1-Year billing term (monthly or yearly billing).

   

2. Review your Price + Payment options and Subtotal, select Next to optionally specify tags for your resource. For more about tags, see Use tags to organize your Azure resources.

3. Select Review + Create to navigate to the final step for resource creation. Review your selections, the Azure Marketplace Terms, and the Neon Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

4. Select Create to initiate the resource deployment, which may take a few moments.

5. When your deployment is complete, click the Go to resource button under Next steps to view your new Neon resource.

   

6. Select the Go to Neon link under Getting started to open the Neon Console.

   

   You will be directed to the Create project page in the Neon Console, in your newly created Neon Organization.

   note

   A Neon Organization created via the Azure portal supports creating Neon projects in Azure regions only.

   

7. From here, you can follow the Neon Getting Started to create your first Neon project and familiarize yourself with the Neon platform.

Neon pricing plans and overages

Neon pricing plans include allowances for compute, storage, and projects. For details on each plan's allowances, see Neon Plans. If you exceed these allowances on a paid plan, overage charges will apply to your monthly bill. You can track your usage on the Billing page in the Neon Console. For guidance, see Monitoring Billing.

Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC)

As an Azure Benefit Eligible partner on Azure Marketplace, Neon Postgres purchases made through the Azure Marketplace contribute towards your Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC). This means that any spending on Neon Postgres through Azure Marketplace will help fulfill your organization's committed Azure spend.

How it works

• When you purchase Neon Postgres via Azure Marketplace, the cost is billed through your Microsoft Azure subscription.
• These charges are eligible to count toward your MACC, helping you maximize your existing commitment to Azure.
• There are no additional steps required—your eligible Neon Postgres spend is automatically applied to your MACC.

For more details on how MACC applies to marketplace purchases, see Microsoft's documentation on MACC.

Transfer existing Neon projects to an Azure-created Neon organization

You can transfer existing Neon projects to an Azure-created organization, but note these restrictions:

• The Neon project must belong to a personal Neon account, not an organization. Transfers between organizations are not yet supported.
• The Neon project must be in an Azure region. Azure-created Neon organizations do not support projects created in AWS regions.
• The billing plan of the Azure-managed organization must match or exceed the billing plan of the personal Neon account you are transferring projects from. For example, attempting to transfer projects from a Scale plan personal account to a Free plan organization will result in an error.

For detailed transfer steps, see Transfer projects to an organization.

If the restrictions above prevent you from transferring your project, consider these options:

• Open a support ticket for assistance with transferring your Neon project (supported only for projects that reside in Azure regions). If you're on the Neon Free Plan and can't open a support ticket, you can email Neon support at support@neon.tech.
• Migrate your data to the Azure organization project using pg_dump and pg_restore. Refer to Migrate data from Postgres with pg_dump and pg_restore for instructions.

Changing your pricing plan

Changing the Neon pricing plan for an Azure subscription involves the following steps:

1. Navigate to the Azure portal and sign in.

2. Locate your Neon Serverless Postgres resource by searching for it at the top of the page or locating it under Resources or Navigate > All resources.

3. Select your Neon resource to open the Overview page.

4. Select the Change Plan tab. This will open the Change Plan drawer where you can select from available Neon plans. Supported plans include the Neon Free Plan, Scale Plan, and Business Plan. A description of what's included in each plan is provided in the Description column in the drawer, but for more information about Neon plans, please visit our Pricing page.

   

5. Click Change Plan to complete the plan change.

Enterprise Plan

Neon's Enterprise Plan is designed for large teams with unique requirements that aren't covered by Neon's self-serve plans. For details, see the Enterprise Plan. To explore this option, contact our Sales team to discuss a custom private offer available through the Azure Marketplace.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, check the documentation in Azure's troubleshooting guide for Neon: Troubleshoot Neon Serverless Postgres. If you still need help, contact Neon Support.

Deleting a Neon Resource in Azure

If you no longer need your Neon resource, you can delete it to stop all associated billing through the Azure Marketplace.

Follow these steps to delete the resource:

1. In the Azure portal, select the Neon resource you want to delete.
2. On the Overview page, select Delete.
3. Confirm the deletion by entering the resource's name.
4. Choose the reason for deleting the resource.
5. Select Delete to finalize.

Once the resource is deleted, billing will stop immediately, and the Neon Organization and all Neon projects and data associated with that resource will be removed.
