Neon’s bug bounty program is now public 🕵️‍♂️

Neon’s bug bounty program on HackerOne is now open to the public! After a successful private launch, we’re now inviting security researchers to test our platform, identify vulnerabilities, and earn rewards. Read the announcement to learn more.

Fixes & improvements

• Neon Console

  We've repositioned the "new query" button in the Neon SQL Editor, bringing it a little closer to the action. You'll now find it at the top of the editor.

• Postgres extension update

  The PostgreSQL Anonymizer (anon) extension, which was not officially supported in Neon but enabled for some users for evaluation, will be removed. Data anonymization support continues to be on our 2025 roadmap. We will contact known anon extension users directly by email before we remove the extension. If you are using the anon extension and have questions or concerns, please reach out to Neon Support.

• Drizzle Studio update

  We updated the Drizzle Studio integration that powers the Tables page in the Neon Console to version 1.0.17. For the latest improvements and fixes, see the Neon Drizzle Studio Integration Changelog.

Postgres version updates

We updated supported Postgres versions to 14.17, 15.12, 16.8, and 17.4, respectively.

When a new minor version is available on Neon, it is applied the next time your compute restarts (for any reason). For more about how we handle Postgres version upgrades, refer to our Postgres version support policy.

Fixes & improvements

• Neon Console

  • Improved concurrent operations in Console

    Recent improvements to concurrency handling in the API are now reflected in the Console. Buttons and controls are only disabled when strictly necessary, making it easier to work with multiple branches and endpoints simultaneously.

  • Restricted Neon Auth installation and removal to organization admins only

• Drizzle Studio update

  We updated the Drizzle Studio integration that powers the Tables page in the Neon Console to version 1.0.15. For the latest improvements and fixes, see the Neon Drizzle Studio Integration Changelog.

  Updated dependencies in the Neon serverless driver to address security advisories. If you use the driver in your applications, we recommend updating it to the latest version.

• Fixes

  • Fixed performance issues with database and role operations by preventing duplicate API requests
  • Improved the Restore UI to preserve your selections when switching between restore options
  • Fixed an issue where connection strings could show the postgres role instead of Neon's neondb_owner when working with migrated databases

Neon Auth is here! Get authentication in a couple of clicks

After a successful Early Access period, Neon Auth is now available in Beta to all users! Set up authentication for your application without writing integration code — Neon Auth automatically syncs user profiles from your auth provider straight to your Neon database.

What you get:

• Query user profiles directly from your database using the neon_auth.users_sync table
• Use our complete API to create integrations automatically, add users, and transfer ownership
• Get up and running with a pre-configured Stack Auth project that Neon manages, with the option to transfer it to your Stack Auth account later

Get started:

• Set up your auth integration in the Neon Console with our Quick Start or connect your existing Stack Auth project
• Explore our sample Todo app showing Neon Auth with Drizzle ORM
• Check out the documentation for full details

Currently supporting Stack Auth, with more providers planned.

Private Networking is generally available

Neon's Private Networking feature, which enables secure database connections via AWS PrivateLink, is now generally available and self-serve. This feature keeps traffic between your client application and Neon database within AWS's private network, bypassing the public internet.

This feature is available on our Business and Enterprise plans, but if you're on our Launch or Scale plan and want to try it out, you can request a trial from your Neon organization Settings page.

The GA release includes Neon API and CLI support for self-serve setup and management of Private Networking. See our Neon Private Networking guide for details.

Database Branching for Vercel Preview Environments

For users who come to Neon through Vercel — the Neon Postgres Native Integration, available from the Vercel Marketplace, now supports database branching for preview environments. You can now configure your integration to automatically create a dedicated database branch for each Vercel preview deployment. This lets you preview your application and database changes together without touching your production database or setting up a separate development database. To get started, see Vercel Native Integration Previews.

Active Queries and Query History views open to all

The Active Queries and Query History views in the Neon Console are now out of Early Access and available to all users. You can find them on the Monitoring page in your Neon project.

• The Active Queries view displays up to 100 currently running queries for the selected Branch, Compute, and Database.
• The Query History view shows the top 100 previously run queries for the selected Branch, Compute, and Database. Queries can be sorted by Frequency or Average time.

For more about these views, see Monitor active queries and Monitor query history.

Scheduled updates for Launch, Scale, and Business plans

A few weeks ago, we announced scheduled updates for Neon, which include Postgres version upgrades, security patches, and Neon feature enhancements.

Updates, which take only a few seconds, are applied at the scheduled time or the next time your compute restarts.

Updates for Launch and Scale Plan users will start rolling out next week. You can check for updates notices and choose a preferred update window — learn how.
