We’re Cutting Storage Costs (Automatically)

Starting December 1st, Neon users will experience reduced storage costs for inactive branches that are older than two weeks and idle for at least a day. This change is due to the introduction of archive storage, which automatically archives inactive data without transferring it. The Pageserver evicts the branch's data from its SSD cache, but the data remains securely stored in cloud object storage. Reactivating an archived branch restores full performance by pulling the data back into SSD storage. Neon will charge archive storage at a reduced rate of $0.1 per GB-month and include a substantial amount of archive storage in their monthly subscription plans for Launch, Scale, and Business users.
