On the surface this looks pretty similar to AWS Aurora Postgres Serverless. Could you expand on the differences?

- mdaniel 4y agoNot to steal the CEO's thunder, but this (tech|company) got quite a bit of commentary last time it was submitted: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31536827 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31536827
- nikita 4y agoThis was a good discussion indeed. The blog captures most of these points. We were pre launch then
- nikita 4y agoOnly serverless, only Postgres - that’s focus. Multi-cloud and open source.
- ldoughty 4y agoAWS Aurora Serverless can't scale down to 0, at least not on v2, so minimum cost to play is $40/month I'm sure Neon's design can handle the hobbyist wordpress DB or personal project DB for <=$10/month since it can scale down to 0, and it likely would not be terrible for a cold-start on a small personal website to be 1-3 seconds for the first page load -- sure, bad for SEO, but I think a LOT of people want a DB that is managed and simple for <$20/month -- and again, I'm very hopeful Neon will have a nice pricing number here when they figure out their model, since a very tiny shared tenant should be very inexpensive for their model.
