Instead of managing Postgres directly, Vercel now offers database integrations through the [Vercel Marketplace](https://vercel.com/marketplace), giving users more storage options and features. **Note: Terminology change** In Neon, a "Database" in Vercel is called a "Project." Everything else works the same. --- ## What changed for you ### Access and management - **Same login**: Access your databases from both Vercel's **Storage** tab and the Neon Console - **New management options**: Click **Open in Neon** to access advanced database features - **Unified billing**: Everything remains billed through Vercel (no separate Neon billing) ### Automatic plan transitions - **Hobby Plan users** → Neon Free plan (better limits, more features) - **Pro Plan users** → Maintained existing limits with option to upgrade to Neon plans --- ## Billing and plans ### Plan comparison | Plan Transition | Compute Hours | Storage | Databases | Key Changes | | :--------------- | :------------ | :-------------- | :-------- | :-------------------------- | | **Hobby → Free** | 60 → 190 | 256 MB → 512 MB | 1 → 10 | Significant improvements | | **Pro → Legacy** | 100 (same) | 256 MB (same) | 1 (same) | No change until you upgrade | ### Cost comparison (Pro Plan) | Resource | Vercel Pro | Neon Launch ($19/mo) | | :----------------------- | :--------- | :--------------------- | | **Included compute** | 100 hours | 300 hours | | **Included storage** | 256 MB | 10 GB | | **Extra compute** | $0.10/hour | $0.16/hour | | **Extra storage** | $0.12/GB | $1.75/GB (after 10 GB) | | **Data transfer** | $0.10/GB | Free | | **Additional databases** | $1.00 each | Free (up to 100) | **Tip: Upgrade to unlock features** Pro Plan users can stay on legacy limits or upgrade to a Neon plan to access branching, instant restore, and higher limits. [See how to upgrade](https://neon.com/docs/guides/vercel-managed-integration#changing-your-plan). ### Enterprise customers Neon is working with the Vercel team to transition Enterprise customers. --- ## New features available ### Immediate access (all users) - **Neon Console** - Dedicated database management interface - **CLI support** - Full [Neon CLI](https://neon.com/docs/reference/neon-cli) (Vercel CLI didn't support Postgres) - **Terraform support** - [Neon Terraform provider](https://neon.com/docs/reference/terraform) - **Multiple Postgres roles** - No longer limited to single role - **Larger computes** - Up to 2 CU (8 GB RAM) on Free plan, more on paid plans - **Multiple Postgres versions** - Upgrade from Postgres 15 to support for Postgres 14, 15, 16, and 17 - **[Neon API](https://api-docs.neon.tech/reference/getting-started-with-neon-api)** - Programmatic project and database management - **[Organization accounts](https://neon.com/docs/manage/organizations)** - Team and project management - **[Monitoring](https://neon.com/docs/introduction/monitoring-page)** - Database monitoring from Neon Console ### Advanced features (Neon plan required) - **[Database branching](https://neon.com/docs/guides/branching-intro)** - Branch your database like Git - **[Instant restore](https://neon.com/docs/guides/branch-restore)** - Point-in-time recovery (was disabled in Vercel Postgres) - **[Autoscaling](https://neon.com/docs/introduction/autoscaling)** - Automatic performance scaling - **[Scale to zero](https://neon.com/docs/introduction/scale-to-zero)** - Cost-saving idle scaling - **[Read replicas](https://neon.com/docs/introduction/read-replicas)** - Offload read queries - **[Time Travel](https://neon.com/docs/guides/time-travel-assist)** - Query historical data - **[Protected branches](https://neon.com/docs/guides/protected-branches)** - Protect production data - **[Schema Diff](https://neon.com/docs/guides/schema-diff)** - Compare schema changes between branches - **[Logical Replication](https://neon.com/docs/guides/logical-replication-guide)** - Replicate data to and from Neon - **[IP Allow](https://neon.com/docs/introduction/ip-allow)** - Limit access to trusted IP addresses - **[Neon GitHub Integration](https://neon.com/docs/guides/neon-github-integration)** - Connect projects to GitHub repos --- ## Compatibility notes ### SDKs and drivers **Current Vercel SDK** (`@vercel/postgres`): - ✅ **Still works** - No immediate action required - ⚠️ **Will be deprecated** - No longer actively maintained by Vercel **Migration options**: 1. **Maintenance mode**: Switch to `@neondatabase/vercel-postgres-compat` (drop-in replacement) 2. **New projects**: Use `@neondatabase/serverless` (actively developed) 3. **Existing apps**: Follow our [migration guide](https://neon.com/guides/vercel-sdk-migration) ### ORMs and tools All existing integrations continue to work: - Drizzle, Prisma, Kysely - All Postgres-compatible tools - Existing environment variables ### Templates and environment variables - **Existing templates**: [Environment variables](https://neon.com/docs/guides/vercel-managed-integration#environment-variables-set-by-the-integration) used by Vercel Postgres templates continue to work - **New templates**: Find updated [Neon templates](https://vercel.com/templates?database=neon) and [Postgres templates](https://vercel.com/templates?database=neon\&database=postgres) on Vercel ### Regional support All Vercel Postgres regions are supported in Neon - no changes needed. --- ## Next steps ## Recommended actions - [ ] [Explore the Neon Console](https://neon.com/docs/guides/vercel-postgres-transition-guide#new-features-available) Click "Open in Neon" from your Vercel Storage tab to see advanced features - [ ] [Consider upgrading your plan](https://neon.com/docs/guides/vercel-postgres-transition-guide#billing-and-plans) Unlock branching, instant restore, and higher limits with Neon plans - [ ] [Plan SDK migration](https://neon.com/docs/guides/vercel-postgres-transition-guide#compatibility-notes) Review migration options for the Vercel SDK to avoid future compatibility issues - [ ] [Test new features](https://neon.com/docs/guides/vercel-postgres-transition-guide#new-features-available) Try database branching for development environments --- ## Questions or issues?
