Neon reimagines Postgres read replicas with a serverless architecture that decouples compute and storage, making replicas lightweight, affordable, and fast to provision. Traditional read replicas duplicate the entire database, leading to inefficiencies and additional costs. Neon's approach eliminates data redundancy, allows for instant provisioning, and enables autoscaling and scaling to zero, effectively balancing performance and cost-efficiency.
