Neon (Serverless PostgreSQL)

Neon is a serverless PostgreSQL platform (acquired by Databricks May 2025 for ~$1B). Not a Python package — connect using standard PostgreSQL drivers (psycopg2, psycopg, asyncpg, SQLAlchemy). Two connection string types: pooled (-pooler in hostname, via PgBouncer) and direct. Pooled is now the default in Neon Console. Critical: always include sslmode=require. asyncpg with pooled connections requires statement_cache_size=0.
