Neon replaces these outdated workflows with a more powerful model: ephemeral, on-demand environments backed by database branching.
Instead of creating and managing separate database instances for every task, teams work from a single source of truth (a production-like parent branch) and create lightweight, fully functional clones for development, testing, and preview workflows.
The result: faster development cycles, safer experimentation, and simpler infrastructure management.
"We’re a small team, but we’re scaling quickly and doing a lot. We’re shipping multiple times a day — to do that, we need to test stuff quickly and merge to main very quickly as well. Neon branches are a game changer for this."
