# Neon documentation

## Getting started

Start with a one-command setup, or follow a guided tutorial to build the full Neon stack step by step.

Quick\~5 min

### One-command setup

Sets up Neon for your AI coding agent, links a project, and writes your DATABASE\_URL to .env. Copy the command below to get started.

Guided\~10 min

### Build a full backend

Next.js on the full Neon backend: Lakebase Postgres, Auth, Object Storage, and AI Gateway, from create-next-app to deployed.

[Open quickstart](/guides/neon-docs-get-started-full-backend-quickstart)

Tutorial\~15 min

### Tour the Neon backend

Learn how Lakebase Postgres, Managed Better Auth, Object Storage, Functions, and the AI Gateway connect across a real project, and where each one lives in your codebase.

## Products

Build backends for web apps and agents with Lakebase Postgres, Auth, Object Storage, and AI Gateway.\
Every service is agent-ready: instant, branchable, and serverless.

::::card-grid
:::card{title="Lakebase Postgres" href="/guides/postgres-index"}
Serverless Postgres with branching, autoscaling, scale to zero, and instant restore.
:::

:::card{title="Auth" href="/guides/auth-index"}
Managed Better Auth with sign-up, OAuth, and sessions. Users live in your Postgres and branch with it.
:::

:::card{title="Object Storage" href="/guides/object-storage-index"}
S3-compatible object storage that branches with your database.
:::

:::card{title="Functions" href="/guides/neon-functions-index"}
Long-running serverless functions on Node.js, deployed alongside your database, with triggers and custom domains.
:::

:::card{title="AI Gateway" href="/guides/ai-gateway-index"}
One API for frontier and open-source models at provider prices with no markup, built into your Neon project.
:::

:::card{title="Lakebase Search" href="/guides/postgres-ai-lakebase-search"}
Vector, keyword, and hybrid search built into Postgres, so agent retrieval and RAG need no separate vector store.
