Built on the lakebase architecture. Decoupled storage and compute, with object storage + WAL as the foundation.

Deploy, scale, branch, replicate, and restore instantly, without moving or duplicating your underlying data between environments.
Ephemeral compute
Provisions instantly, autoscales with load, and scales to zero when idle, restarting in <1s.
Shared storage
The same versioned storage built on WAL serves every branch and replica in a project.
Agent-ready
Operations are lightweight and run through the API, CLI, SDKs, and MCP.
Compute follows your traffic. No overprovisioning or performance hiccups.
There’s no instance to size and no manual resizes in Lakebase Postgres: your database autoscales in real time

Neon autoscaling
Database load
Fixed-resource provisioned
Neon monitors your database load ten times a second and autoscales CPU and memory to exactly fit your workload.
Scales under load
Compute moves within your set range, up during spikes and down during slow times.
Suspends when idle
After five minutes without activity (e.g. in dev environments), compute scales to zero.
Only bills for what runs
You pay for the compute you actually use, without having to worry about sizing.
Agents demand new database primitives like branching, together with instant deploys and restores, and full CLI/MCP coverage.
Create a full copy of production in about a second, without duplicating storage, so a 1 TB branch takes just as long to create as a 1 GB branch.
An environment per unit of work
Every PR, version, test, and preview can have its own backend branch, following your code.
Fully programmable
Creating and deleting branches is a lightweight metadata operation: your agent and the API can manage it end to end.
The whole backend branches
A Neon branch also carries its own Object Storage namespace, its own Functions, its own AI Gateway endpoint, and its own auth.
Roll back instantly to any point in your database history, without copying data, so restore time stays small no matter how large your database is.
Let agents deploy and operate isolated database environments for every task, session, or pull request, with full isolation and undos always at hand.

})Instant REST API
Turn Postgres tables, views, and functions into REST endpoints you can access directly over HTTPS.
Secure access
Authenticate with JWTs and use Postgres Row-Level Security to control who can access and modify your data.
PostgREST compatible
Bring any PostgREST client, including
@neondatabase/postgrest-js, and keep familiar filtering, ordering, pagination, and CRUD patterns.

From your first five users
to the world's largest teams
From early-stage startups to Fortune 500 organizations, Lakebase Postgres gives you the same flexible foundation to build, scale, and run production workloads with confidence.
Ship faster with a small team
Adopt branching workflows and grow your startup faster. Don’t let the database lag the speed at which you ship code.

“We’ve been able to manage 300K+ Postgres databases via the Neon API. It saved us a tremendous amount of time and engineering effort.”
Your questions,
answered.
In terms of compatibility, yes. Lakebase Postgres is Postgres — your existing drivers, ORMs, migration tools, and everything else from the Postgres ecosystem works unchanged. What’s different is the architecture underneath.
Your Postgres branches with everything else. Create a branch and your whole backend forks with it — database, storage, auth, and a gateway endpoint of its own.
Trusted at scale. Neon has been part of the Databricks Platform since May 2025.
