I applied to neon last week and then the news broke about the acquisition. They rejected it this morning — I have never been happier to receive a rejection to an application. This would’ve been three acquisitions straight for me and… I’m okay, they’re awful. I just want stability. Congrats to the neon team! I use and love neon. Really hope this doesn’t change them too much.
I’ve loved Neon and now I’m a little worried. Are there any alternatives?
[Disclaimer: I work for Xata] As it happens, we've just launched our new Xata platform ( https://xata.io/ ) which has some of the key Neon features: instant copy-on-write branching and separation of storage and compute. As an extra twist, we also can do anonymization (PII masking) between your production database and developer branches. The way we do copy-on-write branches is a bit different. We haven't done any modi…

The PII masking aspect is very interesting and something we couldn't get when we decided on DBLab a month ago. What does the deployment model within AWS look like?
If you want to get anonymization from your RDS/Aurora instance and into Xata branches, then you run only a CLI command (`xata clone`) which does something similar to pg_dump/pg_restore but with masking. It is based on our pgstream open source project.
Happy to organize a demo any time.
It's my understanding that Neon had some tech to basically "wake up" the DB when a request came out -- so you could "scale down to zero," if you will. I was hoping to explore this for small personal projects: I by far prefer Postgres and would love an isolated database per project. Is there an alternative for that? Scale-to-zero postgres, basically?

AWS Aurora Postgres Serverless v2 has that capability, though it takes multiple seconds.
So... As someone who's joining databricks in a few weeks, what's with the hate in the comments?
It's fine. Probably actually a good place to work.

Neon also supports anonymization: https://neon.tech/docs/extensions/postgresql-anonymizer as well as schema only branching
(Disclaimer: I work at Xata.) Just wanted to mention that we also support anonymization, in case that’s something you're looking into: https://xata.io/postgres-data-masking
