Changelog

OpenTelemetry integration

Neon now supports OpenTelemetry! You can send metrics and Postgres logs from Neon to any OpenTelemetry-compatible backend. You can enable the integration from the Integrations page in the Neon Console. For setup instructions, refer to our OpenTelemetry docs, with example configuration for New Relic.

Data API now available in beta for all Neon users

The Neon Data API is now in open beta for all users. Instantly turn your Neon Postgres database into a REST API. No backend required. Query tables, views, and functions right from your client app using standard HTTP verbs (GET, POST, PATCH, DELETE), powered by PostgREST.

We've improved our onboarding to make it easier to get Neon Auth and RLS set up as needed to safely use the Data API in your app.

Learn more in our getting started guide. Or try this tutorial walkthrough of our demo note-taking app.

Check out the live demo to see it in action.

API key-based authentication for the Neon MCP Server

The Neon MCP Server now supports API key-based authentication for remote access, in addition to OAuth. This allows for simpler authentication using your Neon API key (personal or organization) for programmatic access.
