When
Guides and best practices for Lakebase Postgres on Neon: setup, connection methods and drivers, pooled vs direct connections, DATABASE_URL, branching, schema migrations, autoscaling, scale-to-zero, instant restore, read replicas, connection pooling, IP allow lists, and logical replication. Also Lakebase Search (semantic, BM25, hybrid). Use when users ask about Lakebase Postgres, Neon setup, connect to Neon, Neon project, DATABASE_URL, serverless Postgres, Neon CLI, Neon MCP, Neon Auth, @neondatabase/serverless, @neondatabase/neon-js, scale to zero, Neon autoscaling, Neon read replica, Neon connection pooling, schema migrations, semantic search, vector search, full-text search, BM25, or hybrid search.
The Catch
Vendor lock: Neon/Lakebase setup, pooled vs direct, DATABASE_URL. Trigger steals Prisma/Supabase Postgres work. Free $0 at neon.tech/pricing (100 projects, 0.5 GB, 100 CU-hours; compute suspends at cap). Parent neon stays OUT (HOLD — always-on overview).
