Neon

About

Neon is a fully managed, serverless Postgres database that offers autoscaling capabilities, database branching, and point-in-time restore. It features a generous free tier and scales to zero when idle, allowing for instant scaling up on traffic without requiring server management. The Neon partner program is specifically designed for accepted open source projects via GitHub Sponsors, and offers a payout of $20 for every referred user who spends $20 or more. Payouts are made monthly through GitHub Sponsors, with no earnings cap.
