Roadmap
Our developers are focused on making Neon the default choice for serverless Postgres. This roadmap describes committed features that are coming soon. We are as excited as you are to see new features in Neon, but their development, release, and timing are at our discretion.
As always, we are listening. If you see something you like, something you disagree with, or something you'd love for us to add, let us know in our Discord feedback channel.
For the latest features and fixes, check our Changelog, updated every Friday. You can subscribe to updates using our RSS feed.

Coming soon
Here's a snapshot of what we're working on now:
Observability
-
More metrics for the Monitoring page
We are also working on adding more metrics to the Monitoring page in the Neon Console to provide the key Postgres and resource usage metrics you require to effectively manage your projects and databases.
-
For partners, a more granular Consumption API
Our current Consumption API provides cumulative consumption metrics across all projects in your account for the selected billing period. We are expanding our APIs to also allow for daily consumption metrics.
Developer workflows
-
GitHub integration
We're working on a GitHub integration for Neon that will create and delete Neon branches in synchronization with git branch actions.
-
Support for anonymizing data
To help with workflows that require protecting personal information, we're adding support for anonymizing data. For example, if you derive your staging branch directly from production, you might want to anonymize the data on staging, which you can then use as the source for all of your development and testing branches.
If there are any new branching features that you think could help your development team's workflow, let us know in Discord.
Account management
-
Organization support
We are adding features to support using Neon in your organization. Later, we'll add support for managing individual teams within the organization as well.
More regions
- We are currently evaluating new regions. Please reach out on Discord to let us know which region you would like to see next.
