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.

Start the tour

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.

Lakebase Postgres

Serverless Postgres with branching, autoscaling, scale to zero, and instant restore.

Auth

Managed Better Auth with sign-up, OAuth, and sessions. Users live in your Postgres and branch with it.

Object Storage

S3-compatible object storage that branches with your database.

Functions

Long-running serverless functions on Node.js, deployed alongside your database, with triggers and custom domains.

AI Gateway

One API for frontier and open-source models at provider prices with no markup, built into your Neon project.

Lakebase Search

Vector, keyword, and hybrid search built into Postgres, so agent retrieval and RAG need no separate vector store.
