(CEO of Neon) We routinely see 10x savings when switching from RDS or Aurora. Especially if you start adding dev environments.

Does pgvector use parallel index build in this benchmark ?

The buffers will be cached in remote storage - so it will just work likely. In the future we are considering separating the buffer pool from compute and turning off compute doesn't drop the buffer cache. It's a research project bu

(CEO of neon.tech here) Scaling to zero is tricky. In order to make it work you need to 1. Separate storage and compute which aurora has done 2. Have a proxy between the user and an actual VM in which you host Postgres 3. Spin up this VM af

Yes, cold starts is a surprisingly stubborn problem that has many layers. We got it down to 100-200ms. Recently as we move compute from containers to VMs we starting to see more missed so we regressed it a bit. It is theoretically possible

Also would be useful to add a disclaimer that you work for PlanetScale.

Neon is not a shared nothing architecture but shared storage. Makes it 100% compatible with Postgres that supports FK constraints since 1989

My understanding is that we can sync any sqlite state to any other sqlite state using custom built replication. Is this how it works and how does it update all the web components? Would it work with all the frameworks or a custom framework

I've been thinking that with OpenAI introducing more and more workflow there will be a company that turns opensource model to API + workflow. I'm wondering if Braintrust vision is that?

Our uptime will improve. We have been keeping up with the growth (2500 databases are created per day). And I insisted to be fully transparent on uptime. There is a ton of work internally that will improve the uptime as we get to GA.

Neon doesn't use EBS volumes. That's why it has an inherent cost advantage over Planetscale.

Neon will stay true to Postgres. Our storage is sharded and bottomless. You can get a ton of TPS scale with large Postgres compute plus read replicas. Shared nothing architectures are useless for 99% of the market and break compatibility wi

We have customers using Neon as a time machine b/c you can create a branch at a point in time. Is this what you need?

No ZFS. ZFS is not "cloud native" - we build our storage for the cloud and for Postgres from the ground up.

Neon is designed to run in production. It runs on top of out storage that is designed for webscale and production usage.

CEO of Neon here. Wow not sure who paid for this comment. We didn’t pay for the article. Author please confirm. Neon has never lost or corrupted data. Uptime is at neonstatus.com Code is open sourced.

I think it's good technology. Our team flagged it, we haven't tested it yet.

pgvector is working HNSW too. We have a blog post about it: https://neon.tech/blog/pgvector-meets-hnsw-index

Well it doesn't serve it from disk. It's persisted to disk and Postgres buffer cache keeps the working set in memory.

DiskANN has some great ideas that will likely make it into pg_embedding. The most important implication is how many vectors it can support. DiskANN claims it can manage 1Bln vectors and it's a huge deal. Index construction does take a
