Neon has been an incredible tool, their generous free tier allowed us prototype and ship features without worrying about database setup, scaling, or needless infrastructure overhead. And so we are happy to announce that Neon is now an official sponsor of Marble.
Who is Neon?
Neon is a serverless Postgres database designed for modern apps. What really sets them apart is database branching — the ability to instantly create isolated copies of your production database for experimenting, testing migrations, or safely validating schema changes. Because branches are copy-on-write and immutable from their parent, you can play freely without any risk of touching live data.
How we use Neon in Marble
We use Neon as our primary database where all core data lives.
We rely heavily on Neon's branching to test migrations and schema updates on real data before shipping to production. When something goes wrong, we can simply throw away the branch and try again.
Branching gives us confidence to ship big changes more frequently — a capability that’s been critical as we scale.
