Summary

Neon is coming to Azure with a $25M strategic investment from M12, Microsoft's Venture Fund, as part of its multi-cloud strategy. Neon aims to help developers ship faster with Postgres on the platform, regardless of the cloud provider they use. With this expansion, Neon becomes a leading Postgres platform and emphasizes Microsoft's commitment to integrating it into Azure. The move aligns Neon's focus on delivering a better developer experience with Microsoft's strategy for dev tools, including GitHub, VS Code, and TypeScript. Neon is positioned to support modern developers who want to use Postgres, offering serverless capabilities that remove operational overhead and accelerate development velocity. As the next generation of AI apps rely on vector databases, Neon becomes an ideal choice with its unique serverless capabilities and cost-efficiency. Developers can join the waitlist to be among the first to experience Neon on Azure, or explore open engineering positions to help shape the future of AI and Postgres.
