> Summary: The Neon CLI `neon functions` command manages Neon Functions on a branch: `neon functions deploy <slug>` bundles and deploys a function from a local directory or entry file (with --src, --runtime, --env, and --wait), and the list, get, and delete subcommands manage deployed functions. The slug is the permanent function identifier: 1 to 20 lowercase letters and digits.

# Neon CLI command: functions

Deploy, list, inspect, and delete Neon Functions

**Note: Beta**

The **Neon Functions** is in Beta. Share your feedback on [Discord](https://discord.gg/92vNTzKDGp) or via the [Neon Console](https://console.neon.tech/app/projects?modal=feedback).

The `functions` command manages [Neon Functions](https://neon.com/docs/compute/functions/overview) on a branch. This is the command reference; for the full deployment workflow, see [Deploy functions](https://neon.com/docs/compute/functions/deploy). To run functions locally, see [`neon dev`](https://neon.com/docs/cli/dev).

Subcommands: [delete](https://neon.com/docs/cli/functions#delete), [deploy](https://neon.com/docs/cli/functions#deploy), [get](https://neon.com/docs/cli/functions#get), [list](https://neon.com/docs/cli/functions#list)

## neon functions deploy

Deploys a function from a local directory or entry file. The `<slug>` is the permanent function identifier: 1 to 20 lowercase letters and digits (`^[a-z0-9]{1,20}$`).

```bash
neon functions deploy <slug> [options]
```

| Option         | Description                                                                                           | Type    | Default | Required |
| -------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------- | ------- | :------: |
| `--env`        | Environment variable as KEY=VALUE (repeatable)                                                        | string  | —       |    No    |
| `--runtime`    | Function runtime Possible values: `nodejs24`                                                          | string  | —       |    No    |
| `--src`        | Function source: a directory containing index.ts, index.mjs, or index.js, or a path to the entry file | string  | —       |    No    |
| `--wait`       | Wait for the deployment to finish building                                                            | boolean | `true`  |    No    |
| `--branch`     | Branch ID or name                                                                                     | string  | —       |    No    |
| `--project-id` | Project ID                                                                                            | string  | —       |    No    |

By default, `deploy` waits until the deployment finishes building (`--wait=true`), which is the predictable path for scripts and CI. Use `--no-wait` to return immediately after triggering the deployment.

Deploy a function from an entry file:

```bash
neon functions deploy hello --src functions/hello.ts
```

```text filename="Output"
INFO: Function deployment triggered for function hello.

```

Deploy with environment variables and wait for the build:

```bash
neon functions deploy hello --src functions/hello.ts --env LOG_LEVEL=info --wait
```

## neon functions list

```bash
neon functions list [options]
