Every time a pull request is opened, Neon can help power a full-stack preview (including a live backend and database) by creating a dedicated branch. Thanks to Neon’s integration with platforms like Vercel and Netlify, this setup is seamless and requires minimal configuration.
When you install Neon’s Vercel integration, each new Vercel preview deployment automatically spins up a matching database branch named like preview-pr-142. The branch inherits your schema and data, and Vercel injects the DATABASE_URL into the preview environment. Once the PR is closed or merged, the branch can be automatically torn down, keeping your project clean and cost-efficient.Preview deployments use production-like data without manual cloning.
