I knew I needed a robust Postgres database for WriteRush's user accounts and subscription data. As a solo dev, the idea of managing a traditional database was daunting. Neon's serverless Postgres was great! The setup took literally 5 minutes. It scales automatically, the developer experience is fantastic, and the ability to branch my database like I branch my code is awesome. Neon gave WriteRush a production-grade database with zero overhead, letting me focus on building the app itself.

Chose to go with Neon over other database solutions because of its serverless PostgreSQL setup, lightning fast performance, and super smooth developer experience. The branching and autoscaling features made testing and scaling so much easier compared to traditional DB setups we came across.
