NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar. Understand more

Neon is an open-source alternative to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL. Cloud-native analytical databases have embraced the technique of separating storage from compute nodes to elastically scale on demand. However, it's difficult to do the same in a transactional database. Neon achieves this with its new multi-tenant storage engine for PostgreSQL. With minimal changes to the mainstream PostgreSQL code, Neon leverages AWS S3 for long-term data storage and elastically scales the processing up or down (including scale-to-zero) for compute. This architecture has several benefits — including cheap and fast clones, copy-on-write and branching. We're quite excited to see new innovations on top of PostgreSQL. Our teams are evaluating Neon, and we recommend you assess it as well.
