Neon for Platforms
Let your users create their own isolated Postgres databases by integrating Neon into your platform
Due to its severless nature, Neon makes it possible for companies to manage huge fleets of Postgres databases (= Neon projects) even with small teams and budgets. Examples include:
- Retool (read the case study)
- Replit and Replit Agent (Learn more)
- Vercel
- Koyeb, Genezio, and many other IaaS
What all these platforms had in common:
- They needed to create one database per user
- They needed deployment to be nearly instantaneous, to not make their users wait
- Everything had to be programmable via API
- The cost of idle instances had to be negligible
The solution: they're creating a database per customer, scaling up to hundreds of thousands of databases.

Neon features that make this possible
- Management API. Use the Neon API to provision new databases of any size, in any region, set up usage quotes, even pass through costs to end-users with detailed per-database metrics.
- Instant provisioning. Neon databases provision in less than 1 second.
- Scale-to-zero. You don't pay for inactive databases in Neon, meaning you're not paying a fixed cost for every database you onboard.
