Automated testing demands clean, isolated environments. Neon lets your CI pipeline spin up a fresh database for every test suite, ensuring reliability and parallel execution. Here’s how it typically works:
- The CI job creates a branch named
ci-<build-id>(e.g.,ci-20240619-abc123) - Your tests run in isolation against that database
- Once testing concludes, the branch is deleted or reset
This gives you complete reproducibility (every test run starts from the same baseline) and no shared state or interference between tests.
