When will it be possible to self host this? Thank you.

So you can selfhost our storage and we are making it easier and easier. Mostly we want to write one helm chart that will package it all. We are not planning to support on prem deployments commercially. We are working with partners like Percona to do it eventually, but those conversations are too early to commit to anything.

  Would it possible to self host without k8s? For example, I’d prefer to host on a small EC2 instance or fargate service. Thank you.

    It’s possible, but you will need dive deep into how the machinery works. The code is there

Depending on what parts you want to self-host. You can already build and run all base components on your local machine, see instructions here: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/tree/d11c9f9fcb950ac263b1fa16651976ca11e96edf#running-local-installation https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/tree/d11c9f9fcb950ac263... . You can run the tests instead if you want more insight into how a particular piece works. You probably want to attach your S3-compatible storage to Pageserver and Safekeepers; some Ansible scripts with command-line flags are in the repository. To run Neon components on multiple machines, you should be able to create the `.neon` data directory via `neon_local init` and then share the generated configuration files across machines and tweak network settings. You can refer to our documentation to understand the terminology and the intended hosting configuration: https://neon.tech/docs/storage-engine/architecture-overview/ https://neon.tech/docs/storage-engine/architecture-overview/ However, there are still two missing bits: the self-hosting documentation and the Neon Control Plane (web UI + K8S-based compute nodes orchestrator). So you don't get automatic scale-to-zero at the moment out-of-the-box, although all hooks and the PostgreSQL proxy we're using at pg.neon.tech are there. We consider open-sourcing the Control Plane, so stay tuned. As for documentation and support, Nikita has already answered.
