Do you need custom CI/CD control?

If you want to build preview branching into your own CI/CD pipelines (e.g., via GitHub Actions), use a manual connection instead of the automated integrations below.

For automated integrations, follow this simple flow:

  1. Do you have an existing Neon account?

    Do you already have a Neon account or project you want to keep using?

  2. Choose your billing preference

    Where would you like to manage billing for Neon?
