AUTOSCALING LAKEBASE POSTGRES

neon.com16 min read

Summary from the TLDR Dev newsletter

Neon uses Lakebase Postgres to enable real-time autoscaling of database resources, where compute sizes can change dynamically based on CPU load, memory use, and cache working set size without interrupting operations. This separation of storage and compute functions optimizes performance, reduces waste, and also allows for fast resource adjustments.
