Neon

You might expect sslmode=require to require secure connections in Postgres... Nope. Here's the problem: It encrypts, but it does not authenticate, making MITM attacks trivially easy. George MacKerron wrote about why, how we made it more secure in Neon, and ideas to improve the behavior in Postgres on the Neon blog.

Congratulations Replit. 👏 An extraordinary product powered by an extraordinary team - the sky’s the limit.

One single update that solves 74% of our support tickets: Back when we started Databutton I spent most of my time helping users figure out how to plug in database and auth services. It worked, but it was messy and slowed people down. So we rebuilt the foundation. Starting today every new Databutton app comes with a built-in database and user authentication. In other words we’ve made Supabase irrelevant for all new users. What you get instead: → Your app stores data from the start → Your users can log in from day one → Your agent knows how to manage it all Thanks for the backing us so far! More to come! Go build in Databutton com now!

DEV (Dev.to by Forem) now runs on Neon. 3M+ developers, 500k daily pageviews, 500+ new posts a day. Here’s why they migrated off Heroku: https://lnkd.in/gduv3dpc Their Heroku setup had become costly, rigid, and hard to scale. They were overprovisioning resources, struggling to spin up replicas, and wasting engineering time on infrastructure. With Neon, they got: 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬. No need to pick instance sizes - Neon scales compute and storage automatically.

Databutton just made their AI agent way more powerful by giving it control of the full stack. Every Databutton app now comes with built-in Postgres and Auth. Powered by Neon:  https://lnkd.in/gstYuYJz What changed: Databutton used to rely on third-party tools for data persistence and authentication, adding friction for users and generating a steady stream of support tickets. Now, the Databutton agent takes care of it. Every app gets: - A dedicated Neon Postgres database, provisioned in seconds - Built-in login/signup flows, managed automatically - A developer-first API that lets the agent handle schema, migrations, and data bugs - Autoscaling and scale-to-zero, so idle apps don’t burn resources The result: less friction for users, and much more powerful Databutton apps.

David Gomes and Pedro Figueiredo wrote up our current approach using Braintrust which helped us take advanced tool use from 60% to 100% success rate👇 Context: As we added tools to the Neon MCP Server, we found LLM's were not consistently picking the right ones. We have some more advanced tools like prepare_database_migration and complete_database_migration tools defined in the MCP Server, but sometimes the LLM will fall back to generic SQL. We needed a way to validate that we are improving the success rate as we edited the prompts that define each tool. So we wrote evals for our MCP server using Braintrust. With those we were able to iterate on the text prompts for advanced tools and get them from 60% to 100% success rate. Full Write-up in comments
