@DataBricks just announced acquiring @Neon for $1B source: TechCrunch
How do you feel about this announcement? Would you keep using it or migrate to an alternative?
No, we re not reevaluating our database, but since we launched Shoutouts, Supabase has been among the most shouted out products ever. If 2024 was the year of infra, @Supabase is at the forefront.
At the same time I ve been hearing more about @Neon (17 shoutouts including several top-5 apps, like @Central (YC S24) ).
I m curious: which did you choose (something else?) and why?
We’ve teamed up with ParadeDB to bring pg_search to all Neon users, making full-text search in Postgres faster and more powerful.
I have been using it for more than a year now. I have seen people complain that the uptime for Neon is not good. However, in my case, it has always been a reliable database provider, and I have never faced any issues with it. My only complaint was about the pricing; they have switched from usage-based pricing to subscription-based pricing, which seems to be a common trend these days for generating revenue. Although it now charges monthly, it is still affordable for any development team with substantial usage. The way it works under the hood is simply awesome and truly serverless.
This is a 5 star product. I absolutely love this product! It has made setting up a PostgreSQL database for my projects incredibly quick and effortless.
