Roadmap

Our developers are focused on making Neon the default choice for serverless Postgres. This roadmap describes committed features that are coming soon. We are as excited as you are to see new features in Neon, but their development, release, and timing are at our discretion.

As always, we are listening. If you see something you like, something you disagree with, or something you'd love for us to add, let us know in our Discord feedback channel.

Coming soon

Here's a snapshot of what we're working on now:

Observability

  • Autoscaling charts in the Project Dashboard

    Continuing with our improvements to monitoring and observability in Neon, our new Autoscaling graphs — available now when you edit a branch's compute instance — will soon be added to the Project Dashboard as well.

  • New Monitoring page

    We are also working on adding a new Monitoring page to the Neon Console that will display key Postgres, connection, and resource usage metrics in a dashboard.

  • For partners, a more granular Consumption API

    Our current Consumption API provides cumulative consumption metrics across all projects in your account for the selected billing period. We are expanding our APIs to also allow for daily consumption metrics.

Developer workflows

  • Schema Diff

    We are currently building a Schema Diff tool that lets you precisely compare database schemas between different branches to help streamline your integration process.

    If there are any new branching features that you think could help your development team's workflow, let us know in Discord.

  • Improvements to Vercel integration

    Some upcoming improvements to the Vercel integration include a method for removing old preview deployment branches, as well as new Neon actions and better error messaging to let you do more right from the Vercel integration drawer.

  • Adding Time Travel Assist to the SQL Editor

    To help with data recovery workflows, we're making our Time Travel Assist feature available in the SQL Editor in the Neon Console. Time Travel Assist is available now on the Restore page, but it's a great feature and we want to make it more convenient for you to use, wherever you might need it in the console.

  • Support for anonymizing data

    To help with workflows that require protecting personal information, we're adding support for anonymizing data. For example, if you derive your staging branch directly from production, you might want to anonymize the data on staging, which you can then use as the source for all of your development and testing branches.

Account management

  • Organization support

    We are adding features to support using Neon in your organization. Later, we'll add support for managing individual teams within the organization as well.

More regions

  • We are currently evaluating new regions. Please reach out on Discord to let us know which region you would like to see next.

A brief history of Neon

The Neon Limited Preview started in February 2022 and was made available to a small number of select users and friends.

On June 15th, 2022, the Neon team announced the Technical Preview, making Neon available to a wider audience. Thousands of users were able to try Neon's Free Tier.

On December 6th, 2022, Neon released its branching feature and dropped the invite gate, welcoming everyone to try Neon's Free Tier.

In the spring of 2023, Neon launched paid plans with new features like Project Sharing, Autoscaling, and Autosuspend. We also added support for US East (N. Virginia)

In the summer of 2023, we released the Neon CLI. New features included a configurable history retention window as well as support for Postgres 16 and the Isreal (Tel Aviv) region. We also announced SOC 2 Type 1 compliance.

In the fall of 2023, we added IP allowlisting, email signup, and logical replication. We also announced SOC 2 Type 2 compliance.

In the winter of 2024, we added support for the Asia Pacific (Sydney) region, Branch Restore with Time Travel Assist, and new Pricing plans.

Technical Preview

Neon sets a high standard for what constitutes a feature-complete product, meaning that all intended core functionality is implemented and operates as expected. While many features may be operational today, there may still be some that are under development or refinement. Neon will remain in Technical Preview while the remaining features are still being developed and perfected.
