Neon CEO:

Storage is will be long term unlimited. Short term it is few terabytes - we are constantly increasing the ceiling as storage sharding improves: https://neon.tech/blog/how-we-scale-an-open-source-multi-ten...

Compute autoscales from 0 to 10CPUs per read replica with 0.25 CPU increments - you set up min and max. We give our enterprise customers larger compute sizes. And you can have A LOT of read replicas that stand up instantly.




Is it feasible to use Neon connecting from smaller clouds, such as Hetzner, DO, Linode, etc? Thanks.


Yes of course. People do it all the time.

For small workloads egress cost doesn’t matter. For larger - well it does.

I wish it was illegal to charge so much for egress for cloud providers.


Thanks, will try. I was worried about latency between distinct providers.


It’s mostly a region question. If the data centers are physically close to each other latencies will be low as well: https://neon.tech/blog/sub-10ms-postgres-queries-for-vercel-...


Cool thank you for clarification and on write side what can write load scale to ?
