## When it is useful

Choose and create the right Neon branch type for testing and development. Use when users ask about Neon branching, migration testing with real data, isolated test environments, schema-only branch workflows for sensitive data, resetting a branch from its parent, branch expiration and CI/CD branch lifecycles, or branch creation via Neon CLI or Neon MCP. Triggers include "Neon branch", "test migrations safely", "branch production data", "schema-only branch", "reset branch", "branch per PR", and "sensitive data testing". Not the neon-postgres setup skill.

## The Catch

Branch-type picker, not setup — distinct from neon-postgres. Schema-only branches are Beta. Free cap is 10 branches/project on neon.tech/pricing.
