What's a serverless postgres?
Does it mean a postgres server hosted by Neon and you basically pay them for administration?
- letmeinhere 3y agoI think it usually means that it's fully queryable by serverless functions, usually via atomic HTTP API calls, and often without network restrictions.
- letmeinhere 3y agoBut in this case it seems to be referring to the database itself, and the ability to scale to and from zero resources on demand.
- tristan957 3y agoNeon is a managed serverless Postgres offering. "Managed" means we take care of Postgres administration. "Serverless" means that your database isn't running if you're not using it. We put computes to sleep after a certain amount of time. We can also scale database resources up and down as needed. (Neon engineer)
