Serverless Postgres that branches

Next.js / Data · Freemium

What's Good

Database branching works like git branching—create a copy-on-write branch for testing, preview deployments, or data experiments. Scale to zero saves money on development databases. The connection pooler handles serverless function connection limits.

The Catch

Cold starts affect latency for scale-to-zero databases. The branching model has a learning curve. Regional availability is limited.

Verdict

Postgres for the serverless era, with game-changing branching.
