Roadmap

Our development teams are focused on helping you ship faster with Postgres. This roadmap describes committed features that we're working on right now, plus a peak at some of the upcoming features we'll be taking on next.

What we've just launched

A new Business plan with more compute and storage: This new plan provides higher storage and compute allowances (500 GiB of storage and 1,000 compute hours) in addition to all of Neon's advanced features. It also offers potential cost savings for customers requiring more storage than our Scale plan provides. To learn more, please refer to our Pricing page and Plans documentation.
Data migration support with inbound logical replication: We've introduced inbound logical replication as the first step toward enabling seamless, low-downtime migrations from your current database provider to Neon. This feature allows you to use Neon as your development environment, taking advantage of developer-friendly tools like branching and our GitHub integration, even if you keep production with your existing provider. To get started, explore our guides for replicating data from AlloyDB, Aurora, CloudSQL, and RDS. See Replicate data to Neon. Inbound logical replication also supports migrating data between Neon projects, useful for version, region, or account migrations. See Replicate data from one Neon project to another.
Organizations: Organization Accounts are now available to Early Access users. Create a new organization, transfer over your projects, invite your team and get started collaborating. Join our Early Access Program to get a first look at Neon Organizations. Refer to our Organizations docs to learn more.
Autoscaling GA: One of our defining features, Autoscaling, is now GA. Read the announcement: Neon Autoscaling is Generally Available.
Autoscaling on the Free Plan: Users on the Free Plan are now able to try Neon's Autoscaling feature, within reasonable Free Plan limits. Learn how.
Neon CLI: We've recently added a create-app command that lets you bootstrap your application with common dev stacks. create-app is maturing fast, with new frameworks, ORMs, and features coming out regularly.

For more of the latest features and fixes, check our Changelog, published weekly. Or watch for our Changelog email, also sent out weekly. You can also subscribe to updates using our RSS feed.

What we're working on now

Here's a snapshot of what we're working on now:

Neon on Azure: If you didn't catch the post, Neon is coming to Azure. Read more about this big news.
Postgres 17: We've been at work on this for a while now. We plan to support Postgres 17 the day it's released.
Support for exporting metrics: We'd like to help users integrate Neon into their monitoring platforms and services with exportable metrics.
Better deletes: We're adding support for deleting obsolete branches, especially after restore operations.
Archive branches: A mechanism to allow offloading branches (snapshots of your data) to cost-efficient object storage for retention periods longer than a Neon project's history retention window.

If you have other feature ideas, let us know.

What's on the horizon

And here's a quick list of what we'll be taking on in the near future:

Staging Environments: A critical part of making it easy for you to use Neon as the staging environment for your team's app development — simple, robust anonymization of PII data. We're working on it.
Larger computes: We are working on adding support for ever-larger compute sizes.
New authentication method: We're working on a new authentication method for Postgres that will enable simplified application -> database connections, as well as allow for Neon to be integrated into various marketplaces.
Snapshots: Create regularly scheduled snapshots as a way to archive your database — a cost-effective alternative to long-lived branches.
SQL Editor improvements: Stay tuned for interesting updates we have planned for our SQL Editor.
Support for exporting logs and traces: We'd like to help users further integrate Neon into their monitoring platforms and services with exportable logs and traces.
Private access: Private and secure access to your compute resources without traversing public networks.
An email app service: This service will provide support for email verification and password recovery workflows.

A brief history of Neon

The Neon Limited Preview started in February 2022 and was made available to a small number of select users and friends.

On December 6th, 2022, Neon released its branching feature and dropped the invite gate, welcoming everyone to try Neon's Free Plan.

In the first quarter of 2023, Neon launched paid plans with new features like Project Sharing, Autoscaling, and Autosuspend. We also added support for US East (N. Virginia)

In the second quarter of 2023, we released the Neon CLI. Enhancements included a configurable history retention window, support for Postgres 16, and SOC 2 Type 1 compliance.

In the third quarter of 2023, we added IP allowlisting, email signup, and logical replication. We also announced SOC 2 Type 2 compliance.

In the fourth quarter of 2023, we added support for the Asia Pacific (Sydney) region, Branch Restore with Time Travel Assist, and new Pricing plans.
