Note with Neon now you don't need to spend $15+/mo for Postgres because they separate compute from storage. So compute can scale down to 0 and storage is cheap.
Congrats on the upcoming launch! I'm definitely very strongly considering using Neon in my upcoming project. Mind if I ask a couple questions?
Would you be able to comment on if Neon is a good fit for having one postgres database per user and how well that would scale? E.g. what if millions of users?
Also with the managed service, is there help with applying migrations or helping manage migrations for such a multitude of postgres databases?
Lastly, is there any way of querying across neon databases, e.g. aggregating data from many user's databases? I saw you partnered with Hasura a bit. Hasura would be a great fit here for aggregating and "federating" each user's postgres database, but with their most recent price change I'm scared of integrating too much with them. Wondering how you think one can best query e.g. a million user's individual postgres databases?
Thank you and feel free to ignore I know it's kinda asking alot
One database per user is something many of our customers are already using today.
I think if there are millions of users it’s a bit of an overkill. Because likely you will have some very light users that you can still collocate on one database but give heavy users a dedicated one.
With Neon you can do either. Our minimum configuration is 1/2 core which may still be too much for one light user.
Thank you! That makes a lot of sense. Yes its probably overkill to do one db per user. Better to split off when they become heavier users. Thanks again for the awesome tech eh and good luck on the formal launch!!
