Neon CEO here. Happy to answer questions about the serverless driver and beyond.
- ddorian43 3y agoI see you support timescaledb extension. How does that work? Is a "chunk" in timescaledb split into "pages" and just streamed from S3?
- nikita 3y agoNeon works at the storage level: https://neon.tech/docs/introduction/architecture-overview https://neon.tech/docs/introduction/architecture-overview So all extensions including Timescale work. Postgres does the heavy lifting
- btown 3y agoDoes this affect ACID guarantees at all? Could Postgres ever expect to read back a page with currently-changing data from the Pageserver before those changes get propagated there? Will the Pageserver cluster block I/O if it’s waiting on a page to reach a consistent state?
- nikita 3y agoNeon is as consistent as Postgres. B/c it's Postgres. All we did was swapping storage.
- re-thc 3y agoHow does the serverless driver and connection pooling impact pricing? Will it keep instances active and hence run for all of the month?
- nikita 3y agoNo, the compute shuts down on inactivity in 5 minutes regardless of active connections.
- re-thc 3y agoAWS released Aurora I/O-Optimized that for a higher storage cost no longer charges for I/O (quoted 40% savings). Is such a mode being considered for Neon? If not, will there be future adjustments in pricing?
