Serverless and Participating in the Software Development Lifecycle with Neon Database
The serverless trend is gaining popularity, but people have concerns about compatibility and cost. However, the idea of integrating databases into the software development lifecycle is resonating well. Traditional databases like RDS and Aurora are good at running apps, but they're not serverless. Neon, on the other hand, supports the software development lifecycle by offering branch support. This enables developers to clone their production environment and have their own developer environment without incurring high costs. This allows for greater collaboration and testing. Neon is receiving feature requests like merging data back into production, masking PII data, and resetting branches. Overall, Neon is optimistic and excited about transforming databases into URLs that resemble GitHub, allowing for easy sharing, branching, and iterative app development.
