I'm Neon CEO. Happy to elaborate how this works or any additional questions you might have.

Did I understand correctly that with the "Time" or "LSN" options for branch creation I do not have to create my branches ahead of time (via UI or API), but I can do that _after_ I messed up already?

  Correct!

This is a little off-topic, but it's somewhat hard to judge whether I want to try a DBaaS without any indication of pricing. For example, PlanetScale is charging $2.50/GB of storage which quickly adds up. I know paid tiers are on your roadmap for next quarter, but I don't really want to start building something without some knowledge of what a company is looking to do for costs. Neon is such an exciting project and it's awesome how much you're a part of the PostgreSQL community and open source. Still, it's hard when there's no pricing details.

  Hi, I'm on the PM team over here at Neon working on our pricing/ billing. First off, thanks for the appreciation! It's always gratifying to hear folks being excited about what we are building. As for pricing 1) everything will be consumption based with an option to set guardrails 2) there will be an option to purchase consumption upfront via a "pre pay model" or "pay as you go". Our goal is to be competitive with the pricing offered by Aurora V2 as we consider Aurora V2 to be one of the standards for serverless databases (even if we disagree with aspects of their approach). The actual numbers are still being worked on as there is further optimization in our product that will help us reduce our unit economics and by extension pass those savings on to our end users. I understand this is somewhat of a nothing answer but I hope this helps. Is there any other clarification I can add? Also, we are always happy to hear feedback on these decisions. If you want to set up a call or simply share more of your thoughts you can email us at feedback@neon.tech.

It's really cool. I have been following NeonDB for some time. You guys are doing amazing stuff. Just wanted to know how can it quickly create so many branches based on lsn and can run query on top of it? Is it postgres's inherent capability or NeonDB's magic work? I'm excited to know some technical stuff behind this. Please elaborate.
