Your traditional database is reliable for production workloads but struggles with the developer experience, including issues with shared environments, schema changes, and resource management. Neon is designed to solve these challenges with features such as serverless architecture, branching for development and testing, integration and compatibility, provisioning environments, and automatic nightly dump and restore processes. The Dev/Test workflow involves creating isolated copies of production or staging databases, known as Neon Twins, which can be used by developers without impacting the stability or performance of the production environment. A Neon Twin is a full or partial copy of the production or staging database, providing developers with safe spaces to build, test, and iterate with real production data and schema. GitHub Actions power both workflows and can be configured to run on a recurring schedule or trigger specific events, while self-hosted runners provide control over the environment, region, IP address, and execution time.
