Neon vs Supabase (vs others?) what did you pick and why?

No, we re not reevaluating our database, but since we launched Shoutouts, Supabase has been among the most shouted out products ever. If 2024 was the year of infra, @Supabase is at the forefront.
At the same time I ve been hearing more about @Neon (17 shoutouts including several top-5 apps, like @Central (YC S24) ).
I m curious: which did you choose (something else?) and why?

I have been using it for more than a year now. I have seen people complain that the uptime for Neon is not good. However, in my case, it has always been a reliable database provider, and I have never faced any issues with it. My only complaint was about the pricing; they have switched from usage-based pricing to subscription-based pricing, which seems to be a common trend these days for generating revenue. Although it now charges monthly, it is still affordable for any development team with substantial usage. The way it works under the hood is simply awesome and truly serverless.

WriteRush 2.0

I knew I needed a robust Postgres database for WriteRush's user accounts and subscription data. As a solo dev, the idea of managing a traditional database was daunting. Neon's serverless Postgres was great! The setup took literally 5 minutes. It scales automatically, the developer experience is fantastic, and the ability to branch my database like I branch my code is awesome. Neon gave WriteRush a production-grade database with zero overhead, letting me focus on building the app itself.

Neon is one of the most developer-friendly hosted database-as-a-service platforms that exists. With just a few clicks, a fresh auto-scaling PG database is ready to go. Adding and managing extensions like pg_vector (and others) are incredibly easy too. Toolable.ai is powered by Neon.
