Congrats to the @netlify.com team! Netlify Database is GA, and they got the architecture right. Branch per agent run, migrations as files, and no agent touches prod directly. This is what safer agentic workflows look like. Glad it's becoming the default.

TanStack DB adds optimistic updates on top, making your UIs feel snappy, not just for GET requests, but also when mutating data from the UI.

Neon - Serverless Postgres @neon.com · 07/08/2025

ElectricSQL moves state synchronization into a dedicated service, greatly simplifying backend complexity. Instead of managing WebSockets, Server-Sent Events, or polling connections yourself, the ElectricSQL server handles the client updates for you.

120

Neon - Serverless Postgres @neon.com · 07/08/2025

Whenever an agent, background task, or webhook function mutates the database, the changes instantly propagate to all connected client devices, and the associated UIs update in real time.

Neon - Serverless Postgres @neon.com · 07/08/2025

This is fantastic not only for multiplayer or multi-device flows, but also when working with background AI agents and third-party services like Stripe triggering webhooks.

Neon - Serverless Postgres @neon.com · 07/08/2025

It's magical when you update a row in your db and connected UIs instantly update. Real-time UI isn’t a new concept, but sync engines like ElectricSQL turn Postgres into the source of truth for the sync, simplifying the mental model needed to build reactive updates - just write to the database!

Neon - Serverless Postgres @neon.com · 07/08/2025

TanStack DB with Sync provides an exciting new way to add end-to-end reactivity to your web applications, including optimistic UI updates. 🧵

Recent Storage Performance Improvements at Neon - Neon

Over the past several months, we’ve been focused on making the Neon storage system faster - here's a recap of recent improvements.

000

Neon - Serverless Postgres @neon.com · 15/07/2025

6/ Parallel S3 uploads Uploads no longer block layer writes. Upload throughput doubled, and ingest time in our benchmarks dropped.

100

Neon - Serverless Postgres @neon.com · 15/07/2025

5/ Smarter compaction We now prioritize L0 compaction to avoid read amplification during ingestion. This dropped p99 read amplification by >50%.

100

Neon - Serverless Postgres @neon.com · 15/07/2025

4/ Scan prefetching Instead of fetching one page at a time, Pageservers now prefetch up to 100. In our benchmarks, schema finalization dropped from 10h to 2.5h.

100

Neon - Serverless Postgres @neon.com · 15/07/2025

3/ Faster disk writes Safekeepers now use sparse files and fewer flushes. WAL write throughput improved by 230%.

100

Neon - Serverless Postgres @neon.com · 15/07/2025

2/ WAL compression WAL is now compressed with Zstd before it’s sent to Pageservers. This cut Safekeeper → Pageserver bandwidth by ~70%.

100

Neon - Serverless Postgres @neon.com · 15/07/2025

1/ Sharded ingest We stopped broadcasting WAL to all shards and now route writes only where they’re needed. Less network traffic, lower CPU, and ~2× faster ingestion for large tenants.

Neon - Serverless Postgres @neon.com · 15/07/2025

In the last few months, we've been working on making Neon storage faster. Here are 7 improvements we shipped to boost performance under the hood 🧵

pg_search is already available for all Neon databases in AWS regions using Postgres 17. If you’re in Azure or using other versions of Postgres, don’t worry, we’ll get to you shortly. To install the extension, run:

100

Neon - Serverless Postgres @neon.com · 18/03/2025

We tested pg_search in Neon and full-text search queries were up to 1,000x faster than Postgres' native full-text search: - COUNT(*) with search: 22,214ms → 770ms: 29x faster - Top-N ranked search: 38,797ms → 81ms: 497x faster - Filtered search: 31,890ms → 29ms: 1,100x faster

110

Neon - Serverless Postgres @neon.com · 18/03/2025

pg_search fixes all of this: - Uses a Rust-powered Tantivy index instead of GIN - Implements BM25 ranking, same as Elastic - Supports prefix search, typo tolerance, JSON-aware search - With real-time updates, no manual reindexing

110

Neon - Serverless Postgres @neon.com · 18/03/2025

Postgres has full-text search, but it has some limitations: - GIN indexes aren’t optimized for ranking - ts_rank doesn’t match modern relevance algorithms like BM25 - No fuzzy search or typo tolerance - Slow faceted aggregations

Neon - Serverless Postgres @neon.com · 18/03/2025
