Functions
Functions are serverless compute you deploy onto a branch, so your backend code runs next to your database. A function doesn't configure the services it uses: enable a service on the branch and its connection strings and credentials are injected into process.env at runtime. A function has 15 minutes to start responding and can keep streaming while data flows, which suits agents and WebSocket or SSE servers. Each branch runs its own functions at their own URLs.
The slug is assigned at first deploy and can't be changed; name is a display label only.
Renaming acts only on a function the branch owns. A slug that's only inherited from an ancestor returns 404, so rename it on the owning branch.
You can also manage functions from the CLI with neon functions.
Functions are currently available in AWS US East (Ohio), US East (N. Virginia), Europe (Frankfurt), and Asia Pacific (Singapore). Support is expanding toward all regions. See Neon Functions for the deployment workflow, Environment variables for what gets injected, and Runtime limits for timeouts and concurrency.
API Reference / Functions / Create a trigger
POST /projects//branches//triggers
Section titled “POST /projects//branches//triggers”Creates a trigger for a Function visible on the branch. The required
type discriminator selects the trigger-specific configuration. The
supported types are schedule and storage_object_created. A schedule
trigger uses a numeric five-field cron expression interpreted in UTC. A
storage-object-created trigger fires only after a successful upload to
one exact bucket and may narrow matches to an object-key prefix.
The name must be unique among triggers visible on the branch, including inherited triggers.
Note: This endpoint is currently in Beta.
Parameters
Section titled “Parameters”project_id(string, path, required) The Neon project IDbranch_id(string, path, required) The Neon branch ID
Request body
Section titled “Request body”type(string, required) Trigger type discriminator. Possible values:schedulefunction_slug(string, required) The branch-local Function slug to invoke.name(string, required) Human-readable name, unique among triggers visible on the branch.function_path(string, optional) Path passed to the target Function. Defaults to/. Default:/schedule(object, required) A numeric five-field cron schedule interpreted in UTC.cron(string, required) Numeric five-field cron expression (minute through day-of-week), interpreted in UTC.
enabled(boolean, optional) Whether future occurrences should be scheduled. Default:true
Response (201)
Section titled “Response (201)”trigger(object, optional) A branch-effective trigger discriminated bytype. The supported trigger types arescheduleandstorage_object_created.

The request may or may not be safe to retry, depending on the HTTP method, response status code, and whether a response was received.

API Reference / Functions / Register a custom domain on a branch
POST /projects//branches//custom-domains
Section titled “POST /projects//branches//custom-domains”Registers a customer-owned domain (for example dashboard.acme.com) on the
branch and points it at a target entity, chosen by entity_type +
entity_id. In v1 only entity_type: function is supported (an
unsupported type is rejected with 400), where entity_id is the function
slug and the function must already exist on the branch (else 404).
The response includes the cname_target the customer must point their
domain at with a CNAME record; the domain goes live only once that DNS
resolves and a certificate is issued on the first request. A domain already
registered to another resource is rejected with 409 and no detail about
the owner. Re-registering the same domain for the same entity is idempotent.
Note: This endpoint is currently in Beta.
Parameters
Section titled “Parameters”project_id(string, path, required) The Neon project IDbranch_id(string, path, required) The Neon branch ID
Request body
Section titled “Request body”-
domain(string, required) The custom domain to register (for exampledashboard.acme.com). Case-insensitive; normalized to lowercase (a trailing root dot is stripped, so the 254-char bound admits a fully-qualified name whose normalized form is 253 chars). Neon-managed and internal hostnames are rejected. -
entity_type(string, required) The kind of branch entity to point the domain at. v1 supports onlyfunction; any other value is rejected withinvalid_entity_type. -
entity_id(string, required) The target entity's identifier within the branch. Forfunctionthis is the function slug (which must already exist on the branch).
Response (201)
Section titled “Response (201)”-
domain(string, optional) The registered custom domain (normalized, lowercase). -
entity_type(string, optional) The kind of branch entity the domain targets. Possible values:function(v1 supports onlyfunction). Not anenum: new values may ship in later spec versions — treat any undocumented value as unknown. -
entity_id(string, optional) The target entity's identifier within the branch. Forfunctionthis is the function slug. -
cname_target(string, optional) The hostname the customer must point their custom domain at with a CNAME record. Empty when the serving region has no custom-domains front door configured. This is the activation input: point DNS here and the domain goes live (seestatus) once a certificate is issued on the first request. -
status(string, optional) The domain's current validity, computed by a background check:pending(still converging — point your CNAME atcname_targetand wait),active(live: DNS resolves to the edge, the CA is authorized, and routing is published), orerror(a fixable problem — seestatus_reason). Not anenum: treat any undocumented value as unknown. May be absent briefly right after registration. -
dns_status(string, optional) The DNS + CAA portion of the check:pending(no records yet),ok(resolves to our edge and the CA is authorized),misconfigured(your CNAME does not resolve to our edge), orcaa_blocked(your CAA records forbid Let's Encrypt). Not anenum. -
binding_status(string, optional) Whether Neon's internal routing for the domain is published:pending,present, ormissing.missingis an internal fault surfaced for support. Not anenum. -
status_reason(string, optional) A short, stable machine-readable reason for a non-activestatus(e.g.cname-not-pointing-at-edge,caa-blocks-lets-encrypt,binding-missing), suitable for keying an actionable hint. Empty when active or pending.

API Reference / Functions / Update a function
PATCH /projects//branches//functions/
Section titled “PATCH /projects//branches//functions/”Updates the function's mutable metadata — currently only the display
name. A string sets the display name; null clears it, after which
the function's name falls back to its slug. Leading and trailing
whitespace is trimmed; a whitespace-only name is rejected. Acts only
on a function owned by the branch: a slug that is only inherited from
an ancestor branch returns 404 — rename it on the branch that owns
it. Like every other change on a branch, a rename is isolated per
branch: a branch forked before the rename keeps the name it had at
fork time.
Note: This endpoint is currently in Beta.

API Reference / Functions / Update a trigger
PATCH /projects//branches//triggers/
Section titled “PATCH /projects//branches//triggers/”Applies a partial update. The required type discriminator must identify
the existing trigger kind. The supported types are schedule and
storage_object_created. Editing an inherited trigger creates a
child-local shadow with the same trigger_id; it remains disabled unless
this request explicitly enables it. For a schedule trigger, updating the
schedule or enabled state increments version and recomputes
next_run_at.
Disabling stops future scheduling but does not cancel occurrences already
committed for delivery. For storage_object_created, the configuration
selects one exact bucket. An omitted object-key prefix matches every key
in that bucket; a present prefix is matched byte-for-byte and
case-sensitively against the full key, without path normalization or a
path-segment boundary.
Note: This endpoint is currently in Beta.
Parameters
