Paid for by Neon? Everything Neon doesn't have is marked as "doesn't have it yet..". The article doesn't mention the day long downtimes and widespread reports of data corruption.

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.

Scary that database engineers do not understand how reckless that is.

Neon is slow and flaky I am thankful you are making changes but strongmanning your technical choice when you are wrong is concerning as a user. I still use Neon due to not being able to move back to heroku. I also you keep making open source more.
